It honestly feels like the Democratic Party is doing everything they can to lose.

Fuck. Off. Grandpa.

Dude's figured out his legacy isn't what he thought it would be and is trying to come back and "fix" it. Fucking horrible person for his entire adult life.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I don’t think it’s that. I think he truly thinks he’s had a good career and fought the good fight. He’s so out of touch, but he wants to help because he heard there’s a problem. Probably don’t even understand how his help might not be a good thing.

yea sure more of the old stuff should help

No need for a new direction, right? Biden can run for president even if dead, and liberals would still vote for him.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago

If it were him or Trump again?

They already have chosen a new direction.
Unsurprisingly and in their tone-deaf character they have chosen the worst option.
"embrace patriotism" ban far-left candidate questionnaires and refuse to participate in forums that create ideological purity tests” , etc... I really hope this wakes up people to vote 3rd party, they do not represent working class people and never have.

30,000+ people showed up today for the Bernie/AOC rally today in Colorado.

If only there was a way forward….. Says the Democrats

[–] [email protected] -1 points 3 weeks ago

Bernie isn't what I would call a spring chicken

It would be nice to have someone who doesn't look like they are going to die any second.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 3 weeks ago

Yes please prop up the dead husk of Joe Biden on a stage like weekend at Bernie's. That'll really embolden the base.

[–] [email protected] 100 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Bernie and AOC are the new direction. Biden wants back in to stop them. Fuck Biden!

Make no mistake:

This is not "help." This is the neoliberal fascist collaborator backlash against help.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 weeks ago

LOL, Dems, how about you prove you can do anything useful first, and then ask for money. You're a disgrace.

You're not prepaid cell phone service.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

We desperately need new blood in the Democratic party - people who understand how to actually work for working class voters and to communicate that and earn back people's trust.

Joe's a good man, but his brand of 'actions speak louder than words' does NOT work in the Trump era.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

It would work if he took action more...

Says "Action speaks louder than words" and then doesn't do anything of note as a president

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

Can you please add citations for "Joes a good man"? Please dont mention corvettes or dogs.

They still think all they need to do is more fundraising. The Democratic party is cooked.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

They get easy money from millionaires, billionaires and large companies.

I don't see that as the problem

They must be saving Hillary for when things get really bad

Plan A was Jimmy Carter but alas

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Somebody call Howard Dean. That's the level of enthusiasm we need right now.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 weeks ago (5 children)

Michael Dukakis is their ace in the hole.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

I would joke about Al Gore but he's definitely too far left

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

I mean if Trump were to attempt to run for president again, I'm sure the Dems would put Obama on the ticket with the same reasoning for a third term.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

They're not quite sure if they want to rock us yet.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

I know of someone we can send out to offer a Handshake.

The fuck would you want some sort of that even handed well educated steady hand at the wheel?

Why the fuck would you want that? Compared to now? Cause GeNoCiDe?

Christ almighty, no. It's bad enough that the Democratic consultancy didn't tell him to go fuck himself when he thought to run for president a second time.
