Joe Biden's time is up

but they were picked to go into it because they were trumpers. they only showed backbone once they got involved in the nitty-gritty. the ones replacing them are trumpers who, when they get into the nitty-gritty ...

i'm not unconcerned mind, but the next election is the democrats' to lose. they won in 2016 (they did), won by the biggest margin ever in 2020, and if they get the messaging right etc. in 2024 it should be no contest. they've won the vote in every presidential election since 1992.

what the rightwing is doing is establishing a parallel country, but that's a separate question from the outcome of the next presidential election.

What happened to the woman who asserted that Biden sexually assaulted her?
 
The cancellation of Keystone, the superb diversity of Cabinet picks, the excellent stimulus package, Biden's caring and humility and open talk of Structural and systemic racism. His solid and efficient roll out of the Vaccines. Trans rights too. Biden is more Left than we ever could have hoped and we are less than two months in. I wanted Sanders for sure but am delighted with Biden.
The Republicans are utterly crushed and will forever be associated with January 6th. Next I am looking for an assault weapons ban and movement on Healthcare and more racial equity. Only good times ahead for the Left in America.
As of 29/12/2020 61.7% of Americans were fully vaccinated (Two doses ), if that is success a la Biden, I wouldn't like to see his failures.
 
possibly true, although most of those are going to be republicans who aren't getting vaccinated on purpose aren't they? Not much he could do about them.
 
Not at all. I see the present situation with crystal clarity and the modern Democratic Party is clearly moving leftward and has built a winning coalition that is representative of all working and middle class Americans. The alternative is the fascism of Trump and the Republicans which was clearly rejected last November. We even saw off an attempted coup.
The Democratic Party are clearly the only vehicle of Progressive left wing change in America (as Labor are in the UK). That is realized by Sanders, Abrams, AOC and the rest of the excellent "Squad". These are the best of the political forces and are firmly inside the Democratic tent. Even BLM as an organization are now close to the Party. That is good.
Anything else is just shrill Ultra Leftism from the sidelines and ultimately the abuse of the Democratic Party just helps the Right.
You are the US equivalent of the SWP. :)
 
Christopher Whalen, a postdoctoral researcher at the AMNH's Division of Paleontology and author of the study, said the syllipsimopodi bideni is the first and only known vampyropod to have 10 functional appendages.

 
Voting on sending another 40 billion dollars to Ukraine (with Nancy Pelosi quoting the bible as an explanation) while a baby formula shortage is ravaging the country. Genius move. And then Pete Buttigieg actually argues against capitalism (without meaning to) in trying to defend what the govt have done (ie. leaving it all down to a few corporations to provide the baby forumla).

👍

Republicans: How dare Joe Biden approve a $40 billion aid bill for Ukraine when Americans are suffering shortages of baby formula?

House Democrats: Here is a bill for $28 million in emergency spending to respond to baby formula shortages.

192 out of 196 House Republicans: Fuck off.

The baby formula bill came too late though. Fuck off.
 
Better late than never. Which is what would happen if the Republicans got their way. They tried to stop it passing.

What really needs to happen is that we need to go back to enforcing anti-trust laws. This wouldn't have happened if there were more than two manufacturers with over 75% of market making formula. Break them up. Then, break up all the other monopolies.

A bit OT, but I had to help my mother with her television provider. I got so disgusted with them that I looked at their only competitor. When I dug a little deeper, I found that both companies are owned by the same large entertainment conglomerate. Break them up too.

I don't see it happening any time soon. Congress doesn't have the will and the Obama administration actually did less of this than previous administrations. I don't see Biden's administration doing any better.

If you look at a lot of the problems in the US, you'll find the Chamber of Commerce behind much of it.
 
I get bad vibes about this


he's substituting 450 (per the NYT) permanent troops for the same number of troops coming and going on a rotational basis. so a net increase of zero from curent numbers and maintaining the reduction from the number beforehand (750).

concerning instead is the authorization to target islamist leaders for assassination.
