    Biden is what the GOP was in the 90s. Biden’s always been conservative and racist. Do you know his history over the last 40 years?

      I know his troubled history, I’m trans, I’m a socialist. I do not believe there is any other way for me to survive without a Biden win, and black people in South Carolina overwhelmingly put Biden in charge of the democratic party over Bernie Sanders and I respect that choice because he was there to uphold Obama’s legacy.

        You mispelled “DNC meddling in the primary”.

        The Democrats chose to elect Trump in 2024 when they conspired against the most popular politician in the USA to put a minimum-viable neoliberal candidate on the ballot in 2020.

        I don’t want to be a doomer about it, but the writing was on the wall by the end of 2018 and the only thing left in the DNC playbook is to lash out at everyone who isn’t a sycophantic supporter.

        I spent two years orchestrating an escape from Texas to a blue state once the abortion bans started coming through, and I’ll probably spend the next three getting out of the USA and bringing as many refugees as I can with me.

        Hope and change? Yikes. Obama was a huge disappointment. That’s coming from somebody that volunteered, made phone calls, and ran the orange county Obama website.

          Obama changed Healthcare forever he gave me the Healthcare that saved my life literally, again trans. His hope and change was a step forward. But you don’t sound old enough to remember what it was like before that. And he was betrayed out of his congressional power immediately after by Joe Lieberman.

              Yuuuuup and it was the only one they could pass because of the one seat majority Joe Lieberman afforded them and he was bought out, the original Kristen Sinema.

              Still saved a lot of lives and still infinitely better than what was before it.

      Didn’t take long for the right wing talking points to creep in after all.

      We’re allowed to make mistakes. He’s an old man and most definitely grew up in another world. He’s clearly changed his mind on a fair number of things later in his life, which is hard to do.

      No matter what you say there’s only one reason to post the shit you keep posting.
