I just hope they learn before it's too late that the people who stand idly by and/or vote in support of genocide of Palestinians because they're not Palestinian are the same people who will do the same with queer people like us because they're not queer.

They're already turning the corner on immigrants. The recent Dem bill is more extreme than any border laws passed under Trump. And now it's getting even more extreme with the new bipartisan version.

Stop using us as a shield to protect your horrific genocide. I wonder if their daughter even knows they're appropriating her queerness to support slaughtering tens of thousands of children.

The US didn't propose a ceasefire yet. In response to this ceasefire proposal they've said they're working on a draft for a proposal. With an indeterminate ceasefire of indeterminate length to start at an indeterminate date.

But strangely, once actual dates and times get proposed, they bring out the veto.

One could argue that it sure looks like they're trying to muddy the waters and give Israel cover.

Maybe this will finally be a wakeup call for people who go around saying "vote blue no matter who"

ira ,

Who decides who's blue?

ira ,

No, our goal is to steer Democrats to produce a candidate that will beat Trump in November.

If Biden continues taking planks from the Republican platform then he won't win.

If Biden appoints an AG that completely ignores Republican crimes and instead appoints special counsels to trash Biden, then he won't win.

Sanction Ben-Gvir

So you don't think they should be able to try to vote on Ukraine aid again since the vote failed in the House?

ira ,

Scratch a liberal...

It's wild watching Democrats doing everything they can to repeat 2016. Now it's "Bidenomics" says the economy's great, why won't you listen to us? Appointing a special counsel that releases a report about illegally storing classified material that says Biden's too forgetful to have had intent. Instead of collapsing at a 9/11 memorial, Biden's had 4 major incidents with his memory in the space of a week. Biden's net favorability of -17 is lower than Hillary hit even after the Comey report. DNC removing candidates from the primary ballot that they're scared of. Next thing you know, we're going to find out Biden never stopped in Wisconsin for the 2024 campaign.

Damn those Macedonian trolls must be working overtime to hijack polls to put Biden's approval 17 points underwater and put him 5 points behind Trump.

Apparently 86% of Americans are Macedonian trolls who think Biden is too old to serve a second term.

All these Macedonian trolls that barely trust Biden more on climate change, gun violence, and abortion than trust neither Trump nor Biden.

Ad Fontes Media rates Daily Beast in the Strong Left category of bias and as Generally Reliable/Analysis OR Other Issues in terms of reliability.

ira OP ,

Holy shit, liberals really are gonna hand the presidency right over to Trump again, aren't they

ira OP ,

Biden is the worst candidate of the bunch by that metric. His favorability is 17 points underwater right now, and he's losing to Trump in most recent polls by around 4 to 6 points. And keep in mind that that's measuring popular vote, not electoral votes. Hillary won the popular vote by 2 points and still lost the election. Biden needs to lead Trump by at least 3 points to even have a chance, it took a +4.5 margin to win last time around. And while we're comparing to Hillary, her favorability was only 15 points underwater in October after the Comey report.

Cornel West would be a way better choice. Even Dean Phillips would be less bad of a choice (y'know that whole "lesser evil" thing and all that). In polls, a generic Democrat leads Trump by 6 points.

But it's all a moot point because Democrats keep shutting down primaries and removing candidates from the ballot. They're attempting another coronation just like they did in 2016 - why would any candidate try to run when the party leadership is shutting them down?

ira OP ,

Gotcha.

Bazinga!

I'm super impressed by your ability to ignore literally everything I wrote.

ira OP ,

The Florida Democratic Party's executive committee voted to cancel their primary at the end of October 2023 and declare Biden the winner

The Tennessee Democratic Party decided to list only Biden as a ballot option for its primary after a November 11 meeting

The North Carolina Democratic Party acknowledged receiving requests for ballot access from Phillips and other candidates, but chose to only include Biden for its primary

The Democratic Party of Wisconsin left Phillips off the ballot; he appealed to the Wisconsin Supreme Court on January 26, 2024. The court unanimously ruled on February 2 that Phillips should be included on the ballot.

ira OP ,

Hur was appointed as special counsel by Garland who was appointed by Biden.

ira OP ,

So the Biden administration is appointing fascist sympathizers to highly sensitive positions?

If there's a fascist at the table...

ira OP ,

On a scale of 1-10 how pacified would you say Republicans are right now?

ira OP ,

This whole thing is McGovern 2.0. Biden is self-destructing his own candidacy in spectacular fashion. It's going to be a disaster in November if Democrats don't do something drastic to turn things around.

ira ,

A great start! We're going to need to see way more of this to reverse the massive increase of natural gas production since Feb 2021 (2.6 trillion cubic ft / month then vs 3.5 trillion now, a 34% increase in less than 3 years and an all-time high for the US)

ira ,

I mostly agree with you, but it's libs/Dems, not the left.

It's closer to 1 in every 80 who have been killed now (26,083 out of apx 2.1 million).
