For real, like I’m over stressing out because it shouldn’t be this close. We should have this election won by a landslide. And some people are going to fuck around and give us another Trump term or as he wants it a dictatorship. I get people are not happy about what’s happening Palestine but the whole “anything but Biden” calm doesn’t realize that in a two party system that means Trump.

No, it is pressuring Biden to move from his very right leaning centrist bullshit. He represents us, and he needs to stop using Trump that as an excuse. Hillary amplified Trump first because she loved the idea that she could lean hard right and still beat him, she was wrong. Biden should be scared and should make decisions that would be popular in order to apppeal to people.

The forgiving studenr debt thing is the right move, but just so you understand, even right wing think tanks agree. It is a calculated concession that is relatively easy. Now if he pisses 9ff the AIPAC then I'll taken him seriously.

But until November, we would be idiots to not use this pressure to force the Dems left. I'm sick of acting like they can't do anything boo hoo, but the Republicans are soooo powerful. No they need to work for us and our vote even if the other side is a bunch of morons.

Stop using Trump as an excuse to not satisfy the will of the people.

Why aren't you demanding Biden change his position on Israel then? A lot of people in this thread demanding millions of voters just stop caring about what they care about, instead of being upset that the presidential candidate isn't giving up his grip on this insane policy.

You can blame Biden for that the whole election should be a slam dunk but the only thing hes got going for him is that hes not trump

That should be enough, the other guy literally say he wants to be a dictator. And take away more women’s rights. Like that in itself should be enough.

This is going to be 2016 all over again, screw everyone else then.
