Biden / Harris Focused Discussion

[Elegiac]

She is the star of your party, she is its future.

Again, you're gonna actually have to demonstrate this since the more recently elected Senator from Arizona, who is also a Democrat, voted in favor of the minimum wage increase. Not to mention two Senators who were elected last year in a very unsafe state also voted for the wage increase - i.e. Warnock and Ossoff.

I guess y'all realised you failed horribly in making Warren and then AOC the next Hillary so you're going to try again with Sinema now, huh? The playbook is so goddamn transparent it's tedious.

[Draco-Onis]

See guys? You will be backing Krysten Sinema soon enough. The alternative is literal Hitler. So go ahead, roleplay as if you are upset, or save yourself the energy and just support her for dabbing on the Bernie Bros you all hate with a red hot passion. She is the star of your party, she is its future.

If you keep repeat it maybe it will come true it's almost sad what you Trump supporters have become.

[Shadowferal]

She just hates aoc...

I mean....bullshit.

No one here is touting Sinema except...you know....you.

Maybe your cries for more progressiveness from Democrats would mean something to us, if you weren't always outwardly hostile towards actual progressives like AOC and Warren...oh and your previous defenses of Trump.

[Valkyrst]

Have you ever actually stood up for your beliefs?

You don’t even vote, by your claim, and then pretend the Dems are the GOP. Why do you think your concern trolling is worth more than actually participating in the political process? Are you still a teacher in California?

Why do you even respond to this person? They’re a full on troll. Just ignore them.

[Felya]

Scratch any Democrat and Ronald Reagan is underneath that razor thin coat of paint.

Uhm... Trump and GOP denial of the covid pandemic, is only second to Reagan’s denial of HIV. Reagan’s hand outs and tax cut to the rich, are only second to Trump’s. Have you felt the trickle of Trump’s tax cut yet or is Trump now a democrat?

It’s not trolling... they are misguided... I’m the only person they have on ignore and I provide a lot of material for them to troll... that’s not what did it.

She was a progressive hope in Arizona... she was not elected as a justice or establishment democrat. While at least all of Twitch and YouTube leftist are going off on her...

[Belize]

In non-Trumpster still fuming they lost related news, the Senate passed that 1.9T relief bill.

The House will (obviously) re-pass the amended version in a jiffy.

Claiming that one of the senators, voting against 42 of her colleagues, is a sign of stardom within this party... is absurd... if that’s how shift worked, Vickings former kicker... Blair Walsh... would have gotten a raise for missing a game winning chip shot... not be fired...

I have never seen someone costing their team a game, become a star with their own team. Curbs your enthusiasm theme to the max...

The overemohasis on Kyrsten Sinema kinda reeks of sexism ngl

Ha! Piker called this reaction... let’s just forget that Manchin was the face of denying minimum wage, before Sinema’s stunt.

Manchin still is, plus he decided to be a little shit and display that he thinks a minimum wage increase isn't relevant to COVID aid but banning trans kids from playing sports is super fucking critical you guys.

[Paranoid Android]

You got the party you want, Sinema is your party, its the future of the DNC.

You forgot who I am. I am a WOKE INDEPENDENT. Not my party.

Honestly I think they could have gotten manchin on board for a minimum wage increase but he and some of the others were balking at the concept of almost doubling it even if that is appropriate. I still think they should get him in talks early about it get him on board with bumping it to 11-12 bucks an hour which he seemed open to and then lock it to COL. In the long run probably one of the most important changes you could make is to stop the damn minimum wage from losing value every year until once in a decade you get the stars to align and manage to do an increase.

Just pray to whatever god you revere, to make DC and PR states, so you can tell Manchin (and to a lesser extent Sinema) to get fucked.

This will be the default Dem position in less than two years:


As for my beliefs? I spend any time in discussion here just trying to state what they are amidst the vast sea noise of people such as yourself looking to shadowbox with some imaginary Republican.

[Fugus]

I cannot wait for her seat to be up and for many here to strongly advocate re-electing her for Harm Reduction and some schlop of Intersectional Jargon.

Vote for her over a Republican in that same seat, yes. And that is harm reduction.

Vote for her in a primary over a better
option, no.

Just like the last election where I voted for Biden for the same reason instead of Trump. But in the primary I voted for Sanders.

There is a difference between voting the least bad option when no good options are available and ignoring a good option for a worse one.

[Breccia]

Thanks for keeping us posted. This is big news.

The vote was 50-49 as expected because an Alaskan R was missing.

Also:

“When we started negotiating it took longer than it should have. But we got it done, we got a better deal,” Manchin said on Saturday about the talks.

Manchin said that he wasn’t aware of the initial unemployment deal until 10:00 a.m.on Friday, around the same Democrats announced that they had a deal.

“‘I said wait a minute.’ Something I had never heard about,” Manchin added.

Um...wasn't every single word read aloud? How did Manchin miss that? Whuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh? (giant comical shrug)

You'll never walk away, you will thus never matter.

[Fugus]

You'll never walk away, you will thus never matter.

You really got to pull your head out your butt, then maybe you won't be wrong all the time.

The moment you walk away is the moment you never matter. So long as you are voting in the primaries against them or trying to lobby against them for the primaries, you are doing something that matters, just look at Georgia and and Stacy Abrams.

Voting for them in the general when they are the least bad option doesn't mean you aren't doing anything. At that point, you are effectively advocating killing both politicians because nothing less matters in your eyes.

[Shadowferal]

You'll never walk away, you will thus never matter.

Matter more than someone that never votes...but then considering how irrelevant you have always been before coming to this country I should wonder that this is your way of trying to feel right at home.

[YUPPIE]

has it been discussed yet of how Joe Biden let the Saudis off the hook for the murder of that journalist?

If you didn't bother about it when Trump was ignoring it...
