He’s calling in to his favorite morning cable news show, bashing the “elites” of his party and dismissing unfavorable polls. He’s even talking up his crowd sizes.

    “I’m getting so frustrated … by the elites in the party,” he said, mocking, in a sing-song voice, the assumption that “they know so much more.”

    I thought he was just lying, but with Clooney coming out I think a lot of the big names may be trying to get him to drop privately, and will start going public as they give up.

    Then again, he really is acting more and more like trump every day. So maybe he’s just rambling?

        corporate democrats

        You know what state Biden was a senator for…

        Right?

        https://www.investopedia.com/articles/personal-finance/092515/4-reasons-why-delaware-considered-tax-shelter.asp

        https://www.icij.org/inside-icij/2022/06/delaware-is-everywhere-how-a-little-known-tax-haven-made-the-rules-for-corporate-america/

        He was a senator from Delaware for 36 years…

        You can’t do that without corporations supporting you. Because Delaware is the domestic tax haven for corporations. There are tiny offices that somehow house hundreds of corporations.

        How the absolute fuck is Biden not a “corporate Democrat”?

        Do you have any idea how much they’ve paid him?

        And that’s not even getting into PACs…

          The narrative of this being a plot by the elites and corporate/centrist Democrats and opposed by progressives is wild. Just like how “trust black voters” sort of evaporated away when Biden started doing poorly (for a Democrat) with them. It’s aesthetic rhetorical devices that they seize on to try to discredit attacks on the centrist candidate with no care for the actual constituencies they’re holding up as a totem.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
