Biden called for new spending initiatives to lower costs for health care, child care and housing and new taxes on the wealthy and major corporations to offset those proposals.
I’m not a fan of Biden either, but he’s going to get my vote this presidential election due to their being no alternative.
There are more elections than just the presidential one that you should be voting in. Vote in all of your local ones and state level ones. The more progressive people that we can push through the chain the more stuff we can get passed that will help people and the more likely we are to get a more progressive president in the future.
The more progressive people that we can push through the chain
Never going to happen. Establishment Democrats will sabotage their efforts because there is literally zero repercussions for doing so. They fuck us over and then people like you insist we have to vote for them anyway.
My district recently flipped blue, that was due to people voting and pushing for better people.
Without voting all we do is secure sliding further and further down.
Change doesn’t happen overnight and there’s no such thing as a perfect candidate.
And if you’re not happy with the candidates that are running in your local area, try to get involved and get yourself on the ballot. You might just start yourself a political career.
Remember Hanlon’s Razor: Don’t suspect malice when incompetence can explain it.
And not the incompetence of the DNC. They’re just responding to the environment. The American people don’t want progressive ideas. A third of them want shinier, more inclusive Office Space, another third want segregation and mass deportation, and the final third don’t vote for a bunch of reasons but mostly because the only options are those two.

You completely sailed over my criticism of establishment Democrats.

You didn’t address my point at all.
Yes I did. I said the DNC isn’t evil, they’re incompetent, because it’s a hell of a lot more likely.
Fine. Then I refuse to vote for an incompetent candidate.
Spoiler alert: They’re all incompetent.
