Even people who are pro-vaccine will wait to see how early vaccine beneficiaries (or victims?) fare.

Meaning the uptake of the vaccine will be slow, even if production can be ramped up.

Meaning The Trump-Man Pandemic historic national disaster will continue to rage, and

the non-oligarchy Real Economy will continue to be cratered for many months, maybe a couple years.

Meanwhile, vulture Capitalists will buy up distressed companies, foreclosed real estate, and be infinitely more wealthy, more oppressive, more extractive, more predatory than ever.

I agree with that. But we have no way of knowing if he actually did that.

If you were going to try to convince the world that you had the vaccine, it makes sense that you'd say your own daughters got it.

Give me a fucking break. Every time we get a candidate for president who calls out BigPharma and says we need single payer healthcare, every mainstream media outlet says the candidate is a radical who’s unelectable. Being in the tank for companies like Purdue Pharma is a bipartisan problem, there’s no way to “vote” the influence of BigPharma out of office.

It’s also not like CNN or MSNBC have gone to great lengths to cover Purdue Pharma. You get a few casual references to the “opioid epidemic” without any mention that it was caused by an American drug company making FDA-sponsored misrepresentations about its drugs being non-addictive.

Get off the high horse of American exceptionalism.

Agree with this. And it doesn't extend just to BigPharma. BigChem poisoned thousands (and indirectly billions) with Teflon among numerous other products. BigOil has probably poisoned millions with their frac chemicals which to my understanding, don't even have to be disclosed. BigAg with the GMO's that destroy crops and are impossible to contain.

BIgCorp doesn't care. And no politician with any aspiration to become president can really take them on.

Not sure who that comment is supposed to be making fun of, but my entire point ITT is that when a Biden/Kamala ticket is supposed to be the "progressive" ticket, it's a problem that can't be solved by me knocking on doors or phone banking :lol

yes it’s always too big for every individual.
keep that thinking.

he spent much less money than the other candidates got from the party.
don’t give me this shit
he got himself in as an entertainer.

and then he said the right things to the right people if you can’t see that you were lost

he even made the pussy comment and still won, that takes more than money that takes the right message

Now you tell me who the eighth grader is
:lol he spent $66 million of his own money on the 2016 campaign. If you think that makes him some kind of populist underdog story then I don't know what to say.

He said the right things to the right people while he had oligarch support because he promised to cut their taxes and take away the Obamacare they were subsidizing. If he ran on some kind of populist platform advocating single payer healthcare and a UBI, he'd have never made it out of the Republican primary and you're being dishonest if you claim otherwise. By no stretch of the imagination did he take on corporate America, and the essence of what you're arguing is that Donald Trump somehow proves that a presidential candidate taking on the corporate establishment and winning is possible.

He got himself in as a rich oligarch masquerading as a populist working class advocate. It's the same formula every Republican president since Reagan has used. I'm legitimately mystified as to why you think a billionaire charleton getting elected to office by claiming trickle down economics would strengthen the middle class somehow clears the path for a populist to get elected advocating for single payer healthcare.

I agree with a ton of what you state politically.
But it is going to be someone our age who changes the democratic party.
The old entrenched people will die.

And after I have seen what the red team is now, I am blue unless someone can think of a way to start a viable 3rd party. So for me this means changing the blue team, because the red team has totally lost its way. The hard work, integrity, nose to the grind stone, rely on yourself, appeal for me has totally exited the red team. Tax breaks, I can sit on my ass and make money.... red team must go.

Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country... meaningless words. Too hopeful.

It is not even close to the same formula imo. He alienated himself from the RICH Republican hierarchy early on. The Republican party tried to get rid of him in so many ways.
He made divisiveness work for him. He never stated the party needed to grow with the changing demographics like the others, and yes they tried, especially the Bush brothers. The others were NOT divisive populists.

Trump as CLEARLY taken advantage of white fear. Unabashed straightforward. The other Rs did not come close to that.
Trump has made incredulous attempts to take over the Justice system. Nixon tried this and his party revolted.
This is a totally different beast.

Donald fn Trump won the presidential election in 2016 most impressively AGAINST a huge amount of Republican money.

Anyone care to explain this?

Trump stumbled blindly into the Truth. The core of the Republican party did not give a single shit about the principles of the party.

What they really care about is hatred of the left.

Not truth, not God, not morals, not fiscal responsibility, not personal responsibility, but naked hatred of the other.

You can have all the fancy ass bullshit platform statements you want to paper over some intellectually vacuous facade over that hatred, but it is the single unifying issue for the bulk of the fascist party.

and make no mistake, that fascist streak that has always been there... is right up front on display.

1) Crowded GOP primary field that was too disorganized to align against him the way the Dem field aligned against Bernie before Super Tuesday.

2) He had his own warchest to spend. You're being ridiculous pretending that Trump winning had nothing to do with him being a billionaire who could self fund.

3) The part no one talks about, he had Roger Ailes and Fox News giving him free advertising and air time to the base via significantly more coverage than other candidates got. It's undisputed that Roger Ailes (who before the sexual assault shit came out was effectively the Republican Party's most influential power broker) wanted Trump to win and directed Fox News to help Trump in the primary. Trump doesn't win without the help from Fox News, and the help Trump got from Fox News cancelled out any disadvantage he had for ostensibly being "non-establishment". The biggest issue non-mainstream candidates on the left run into is glib media coverage about how they're "unelectable," Trump had the opposite. Fox News was actively trying to normalize Trump and get primary voters behind him.

:lmao we lose again.

:lol america first

Funny thing is Putin vaccinated his daughters but not himself :lol.

Fuck that vaccine shit. Ill wait 1 full year from today to even consider one.

This is an untested vaccine. Neither tested for safety... or effectiveness.

Odds are pretty high that it will either be unsafe... or ineffective, hell it might even be both. This shit is, in all probability, going to blow up on Putin, and make him look like a fucking dumbass.

Fox "news" is the single most corrosive force in US politics, due to its reach. The only saving grace is that its view base is getting old and fucking dying off.

I'm not trying to take credit away. Trump ran a great campaign and won fair and square, all I'm saying is it's ridiculous to act like Trump faced all the obstacles that a truly anti-establishment progressive candidate who wants a UBI and universal healthcare would face.

Media coverage is really fucking important, just look at this year. The Dem primary voters nominated a coma patient who's only form of communication comes from a staff-operated twitter account and they don't even know what they like about him :lmao. That was the byproduct of constant, unrelenting commentary on CNN/MSNBC about Biden being really "electable."

"Trump showed us that a billionaire can become president by self funding his campaign "

that's bullshit.

more proof that rightwingnutjob assholes are ignorant, gullible fucks

Trash lied that he was worth $10B and lied that he didn't need any external financing,

when in fact he's worth about $2B but we don't know how many $100Ms of debt he has.

He was broke so sold Trump U crap, steaks, wine, etc, etc. trying to get some cash when US banks wouldn't touch him.

He's total fraud, a FAILED businessman, and an easy mark to be compromised by Pootin's loans and money laundering.

1 The organization against Bernie took into account the belief he was unelectable. The Republican party did the same with Trump. He put himself out there for target practice.

2 should have swept Bloomberg in who entered late in an already whittled field.

CNN basically held a coronation of Hillary on 3

And the Republican party was absolutely resigned that they HAD VOTED an unelectable candidate up BEFORE the election.
Let Trump be Trump now. He won the election. And it may take a pandemic to stop him. He found the right way to display appealing hatred.
