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.

    But yeah, can’t wait to hear how it’s my fault Biden lost to Trump in 2024.

    … but if you don't vote for him "you ain't Black." Or whatever nonsense he said that time. (I'm not a Black person, I'm just using his words for satire.

    I caught that shit and I’m black. I usually give my reason for not voting Biden as “I won’t vote for a literal segregationist” which usually gets them to shut up, or at least switch tactics from “you ain’t black” to “well, people can learn and improve”. Still tired but not as staggeringly stupid

    maybe-later-kiddo anakin-padme-1 "In a president's second term, they don't need to cater to public approval and can make bold changes!"

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

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

    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.

    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

    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

    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

    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.
