Imagine framing Biden's efforts on student loans as 'aggressive'. Aggressive like a toothless dog chewing on a shoe.

It's an article literally saying that "leftists can push Biden to the left" while pointing to these accomplishments as proof:

[Biden's administration] embraced massive government intervention to stave off the worst economic impacts, including handing millions of families monthly checks (by expanding the child tax credit), giving all kids in public schools free meals, boosting unemployment insurance and extending health coverage to millions.

All of those policies were temporary and have now expired. Truly the most progressive president since LBJ.

"It's been four years, and your arguments in favor of Biden are the same as before he was elected. Ask your party for a less shitty candidate, if harm reduction is your goal."

Obama's first term was disappointing. His second term was abhorrent.

Crazy how term limits change a politician's incentives to behave.

Leftists should work hard so that Biden can continue to erode the rights of the working class

[-] Owl@hexbear.net 42 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago)

During his last campaign, Biden said anarchists should be prosecuted. He's not getting anything from me.

[-] DickFuckarelli@hexbear.net 42 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago)

Hell of a fucking statement right here:

What about everything supporters of Bernie Sanders have found so thrilling about the Vermont senator’s vision of the future, from universal health care to free college? It’s true Biden was never going to deliver that, but to be honest, neither would Sanders had he been elected president.

Motherfucker, then why bother? If nothing ever gets delivered then why should I give a fuck? What's the point?

I won't vote for the Republican oppositon but I actively hope Biden loses.

I'm going to clue you in on a secret. 2020 election? That was child's play compared to what's coming. The 2024 election is the MOST IMPORTANT election of our lives! The fate of democracy is at stake!!

(be prepared to dust off this statement every four years)

Honestly, I made it my policy a long time ago that I don't vote for war-criminals, which leaves me 'spoiled' for choice.

[-] culpritus@hexbear.net 39 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago)

work their hearts out

not sure I've ever seen this specific phrase before, seems almost like a threat

sure there's 'bleeding hearts' and 'wearing your heart on your sleeve' and 'knock your socks off' and 'work your ass off'

but 'work your hearts out' like wtf

[-] RION@hexbear.net 47 points 3 years ago

Leftists should eat their ass out for Biden in 2024

I'm not voting for a lich who doubled Trump's deportation numbers and let all the covid benefits expire, morally and practically it's nonsensical to vote in national elections

You wanna vote, vote only local and state

[-] emizeko@hexbear.net 34 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago)

just want to point out to our esteemed lurkers some of the technical aspects that make this a GOOD post: post itself is a screenshot, easy preview click to see what it's about. archive link and original link included in the body. this is how it's done, folks

I admit most of the time I'm too lazy to do the screenshot for easy preview

The Democratic Party cannot fail. It can only be failed.

I’ve been in and around politics for many years, and even among liberals, I’ve almost always been one of the most liberal people in the room.

Lmao fuckin loser

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
