I know some won't be able to get past the speaker.

Joe Rogaine isn't making the point he thinks he is. We can say Joe isn't 100% mentally sound due to his age and some of his behavior but neither is Trump. He says stuff then 15 min later claims he never said it. Dude is delusional and has made countless nations lose respect for America.

I don't think Biden is an A1 candidate and he's done a lot that I disagree with but we gave Trump and Pence four years to prove their abilities and COVID aside, their biggest impact was the performance of the stock market that was already surging towards the end of Barack's final term.

If the great Bernie Mac were still around he could’ve run and got more black votes than either of them.

He has dementia, he clearly has dementia........I'm no doctor.......He clearly has dementia

Joe Rogan is a ****ing jackass

 

[rexanglorum]

How can we know until Biden studied for and aces the the dementia test that Trump aced?

Person, man, dog, magaphone, person, that’s the pattern, jack.

Trump is in the top 80% percentile on the senility test.

 

[whywesteppin]

Joe Rogan has mental issues. He's suffering medically. This is a real issue.

Biden up 10 points but apparently he's being destroyed by Trump?

 

[Sharpshoeter13]

Trump camp posting videos upon videos

 

[RustyShackleford]

If you’re over 30 and live in CA, you’re good to go, king.

It’s about being told that you’re racist because you wished more people voted for your candidate.

Again, that was NOT what happened, and I don't know if you want to go through what was actually said by you. If you want to be disingenuous to throw one last Bernie pity party, then have at it.

My mistake, there won’t be a truly open Senate seat as the governor, Gavin Newsom, gets to appoint someone to finish Harris’ term.

That’s actually good news because there will be a US Senate election in 2022 in California. I’d estimate that you’d need $4,000 or about 4,000 signatures to get on the primary ballot.

The primary in CA is open to all. Voters of all party affiliations and independents can vote in it and candidates from all parties and independent candidates are on the same ballot. The top two candidates get to be on the general election ballot.

I don't think we've given Biden enough credit. Or his campaign team. But even that, he's done a good job of conveying a down-to-earth, old-fashioned campaign, even though his team is probably heavy on the analytics.

From what I've seen today, the more suburban-type Democrat or middle-ground person who wants to vote against Trump is pretty ecstatic about Kamala Harris being VP. For better or worse, for a lot of people this election is about returning order to our institutions while also embracing progressive values (for example, BLM but don't defund the police). Kamala Harris fits that niche pretty well.

I think this is why many progressives like myself are disappointed. We are returning order to “our institutions”. These institutions created cavernous inequalities in america. Trump exacerbated these issues but he did not create them.
I guess people find consolation in going from -10 to zero when in reality it is more like going from -100 to -20.
Here in CA only the limousine high net worth liberals were for Kamala. Biden and Kamala will let them continue to amass wealth put together a patch work safety net for the working class that continues to grow into an impoverished class.
I guess at this point seeing The Squad succeed gets me excited. The Bidens and Kamalas are just riding their coat tails and sponsoring their bills but they have no intention of transforming the system.

If you gonna declare, I would delete all dem post in the Stimulus Thread.

Nah I’m for the people
I’m not ashamed of my past

 

[RustyShackleford]

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are way left of most people realize.

I guess all things considered, that is a good thing.

 

[nawghtyhare]

Hows the thread about tipping looking these days?

Look man people don’t want hand outs
They wanna lift themselves up by the bootstraps

 

[Upptempo]

Trump gonna post a photo of this on twitter to gain some Black votes

If the left were orders of magnitude stronger and could provision mutual aid, conduct general or sectoral strikes and generally smash the state, I’d be in accelerationist mode because we could finish off the racist, capitalist, imperialist Empire. As a result, we do need to maintain and restore existing infrastructure and public service and the basics of liberal Democracy for now.

I agree that even now, many Institutions like the police, military, CIA, would be better off failing. Certainly we would be better off without most “norms” like the Senate filibuster and judicial review. But until we have the numbers and organization to provide a superior alternative, we need state institutions like CDC, DOJ civil rights division, USPS and Medicare/Medicaid to survive and thrive.

If there is a total collapse now, the military and/or capital would be able to exploit the collapse more than the left. Hopefully, the left will be in a position to exploit a total collapse in fact, we better be.

Dems with the desperation play by picking Kamala. No one wanted Biden in the first place.

Dems have effectively given Trump a second term. The party is a joke
