If the senate is flipped, he can claim "bipartisan" all he wants.

Tbh not interested in justifications for enabling a trump reelection
"We're gonna move the country to the left by working to keep a right wing oligarch in power!"
What's this then?
Biden fans: "we gonna move the country left by working to elect a different right wing "democratic" oligarch to power!!"
Biden wants to keep:
Obamacare
Balance the courts
Police from murdering blacks unchecked
Trump wants to get rid of:
Obamacare and replace it with seemingly nothing
Throw the courts into a tailspin that favors him and only him
Give police even more authority to kill without interference
How do you still not get it? Lol
i actually understand the working theory. i just think its stupid.
its accelerationism. socdems, but more often outright socialists (not sure where IM falls on that, i'm in the former category), dont believe that we will ever reach the desired outcome through incremental reforms, and think we need a shock event to inspire sweeping changes/revolution. the idea is that under a biden presidency they will become complacent, not make meaningful changes... but its chaos and harm that creates the conditions that make a political "revolution" more likely, and trump represents that necessary danger.
i just dont think it necessarily follows. i just think 4 more years of disastrous trump will feed into "orange man bad" or "republicans bad" and we just need any dem to get in there and fix things. in the meantime, we are putting millions of people in suffering during what is effectively a cruel experiment... so these affluent internet socialists dont mind because they'll be fine (they arent going to lose their healthcare, etc), while millions of people are suffering directly under trump, not to mention irreparable harm to the climate, our political ins utions, public trust in the scientific method, etc
The two aren’t mutually exclusive. I can be annoyed about the fact Biden won’t prosecute Trump for anything but still think voting Trump over Biden is stupid.
It’s also not a guaranty that a shock event leads to progressivism or left wing reform.
America got lucky that the Great Depression spawned a (now dismantled) socially democratic government that protected the middle class without destroying the economy the way pure communism would. Germany got hit with the same Great Depression and it led to ultra right wing authoritarianism.
Even with Biden in power we’re already going to have a shock event with tens of millions of people kicked off their healthcare and courts that will agree with every imagineable argument to gut new healthcare reform.
of course not. and i think the current political climate of the US would be more conducive to people caving more towards a fascist strongman to save us than a socialist revolution
too-old-school ins utionalist, archaic Joe Biden is for maintaining the filibuster.
Even if Biden gets a Senate majority, it won't be solid, with some Dem Senators voting with the minority Repugs to block major legislation.
Wait 'til the left finds out that Hunter's company made money!
From people!
Yeah!
Definitely the people who control a senate/electoral college majority.
Trump also wants to defund Medicare.
This thread aged extremely well. OP
yeah but biden doesnt want to de-commodify all housing so he's literally the same thing
these internet socialists arent affected by like medicare cuts or mistreatment of immigrants/refugees
Trump gives speech at a rally in Minnesota praising the crowd for their great genes, talking about racehorse theory... when earlier in the speech talking about how bad Somali immigrants have been and how he's glad to deport them back.
But Biden isn't behind medicare for all so he's literally the same as trump
... and Medicaid.
Privatize everything, delivering ty products so Capitalists can vampire-suck Americans dry.
