Jeremy Varon, a history professor at the the New School for Social Research in New York, said: “Part of me thinks that Biden has basically given up on reassembling on the Obama coalition and decided that the number that they lose among progressives and the young they will make up with [Nikki] Haley Republicans, moderates and independents.
“Since there’s no meaningful primary, he doesn’t have to appeal to the base. All of that makes for a campaign where he’s going to run to the centre and progressives are going to feel very much in the wilderness.”
Biden was an establishment politician when Black Sabbath was performing War Pigs. He is still a better option than the competition. Nobody is going to step to the incumbent within his own party.
I’m about 95% positive OP (and a few other accounts that post very similarly toned content) are some kind of trolls operating to demotivate democratic voters. They never propose anything constructive, specific policies, or alternative candidates. They just dredge up any and every article that makes Biden look bad and cherry pick quotes to fit their narrative.
If they just don’t like Biden, that’s one thing; you can certainly dislike a politician. But OP et al don’t seem to have any other agenda besides shitting on the presumed democratic candidate while saying “I’m not a Trump supporter” (paraphrased). Otherwise, they’d be drumming up support for (or at least mentioning) other candidates, asking people to contact their representatives and senators to support/oppose specific policies, etc.
Rather than anything constructive or proposing any kind of viable alternative, it’s all “Biden bad”, cherry-picked quotes, and childish name calling.
Yeah, OP’s post history is pretty monotonously anti-Biden.
I’d block them, but then I’d miss out on reporting and down voting all their posts
Their post history mentions Newsom and how Democrats need another candidate. They also posted an article about air quality getting worse due to climate change.
I think it’s a leftist who hasn’t figured out the score yet.
There are no other viable candidates when it’s sitting President vs. former President.
The only thing that will stop either Biden or Trump is a major medical event or imprisonment. That’s it.
Sounds about right. Israel is going to usher in a Trump win.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
He came under scrutiny for a cosy relationship with the banking sector, his role in drawing up a 1994 crime bill that ushered in an era of mass incarceration and his failure to protect witness Anita Hill during Clarence Thomas’s supreme court confirmation hearing.
The Inflation Reduction Act directs $394bn to clean energy, the biggest such investment in history, and just last month the president ordered a pause on exports of liquefied natural gas, hailed as “a watershed moment” by activist and author Bill McKibben.
Meanwhile the president threw his weight behind a bipartisan Senate bill to tighten border security – and send military aid to Israel and Ukraine – which would severely curtail migration and limit asylum in a way that broke a campaign promise.
Activists in Dearborn, Michigan, for example, are urging people to cast an “Uncommitted” vote in the Democratic primary election on 27 February to demand that Biden support a ceasefire and end to funding the war in Gaza.
The backlash threatens Biden’s chances of re-election, not because progressives will switch from him to likely opponent Trump in decisive numbers, but because a sliver might choose to sit out the election or turn to a third party candidate such as Cornel West – potentially enough to make all the difference in Michigan and other swing states in the electoral college.
