Not a single person voting Democrat does so because they thought Biden was a great candidate.
It appears nobody has learned anything from Hillary's loss in 2016.
Establishment ghouls are not popular Democrats. Conservatives will vote Republican anways, appeasing to the right is worthless.
Only progressives get independents to vote blue.
This is where you lost me. As if boomer Democrats are not a thing. But let's keep on reading...
Lost me again. I don't know why people keep forgetting about 2020.
It's unlikely that they forgot about boomer Democrats. Many of us have parents or grandparents who qualify. I can't think of a single person who told me how great of a candidate Biden was. I don't remember anyone who was extremely excited by the policies he wanted to enact. Of course I can only talk about people that I met, my friends and family and community.
Were it not for Israel, I'd be telling you about how great Biden has been domestically (except the boarder). His administration has by and large been very progressive with the policies it's enacted. Biden's abhorrent sucking up to Israel during an active genocide is the huge dark spot on his presidency.
It is a bit dumb that "he's too old" is what got him out.
Hm, no. Neither of those arguments got him out.
"I'll tax the billionaires" got him out.
Unless he did some 4D chess with the whole bowing out after the RNC.
Nah, he turned deeply unpopular right after the debate with trump. He was hemorrhaging in the polls. His backers abandoned him because they feared trump winning. Several polls about biden dropping out had something like 75% of democrats wanting him to drop.
Kamala has ran to the left of biden on a number of issues. If this were a "billionares fear taxes" situation she wouldn't have been the replacement. There are some rumors that establishment dems didn't want Kamala to be the pick because of her policies.
Good info. Thanks.
You're correct in your last sentence. In many communities, everyone thought that everyone was voting for Hillary Clinton in 2016.
Biden won marginally because he was marginally better than Hillary and was the Obama guy.
Bernie would have won by a landslide.
That's a hell of a prediction for someone not even from the US.
Is it? Do you presume I was ever pro-Hillary? You'd be wrong.
Sorry, man. Honestly, I commented because I thought I was replying to the troll. I deleted my comment because that's not an argument I want to pursue anyway.
It's all good.
It's not wrong. Free healthcare is a hell of a selling point.
Having healthcare (or saving $5,000 if you're lucky enough already be paying for health insurance), every year would have gotten every single millennial and gen-z to the polls.
Dems would have a 1-party state if they threw in housing too.
Don't move the goalpost. Are you an AI bot?
Tell me you're unaware of his achievements as president without telling me...
Propagandists are fully aware, and choose to ignore said achievements as it fucks up their narrative.
I am aware Joe Biden is complicit in Genocide and performed like a senile geriatric on CNN.
Tell me you don't live in America without telling me.
I understand it's hard to see a whole picture when onde side of a single issue occupies 100% of your brain capacity
Some people find it a little hard to ignore Genocide. Good to see the average Democrat has no issue with it and willingly admits it.
The same logic and reasoning as conservative single issue anti-choice voters, it's good that America is healing its divides.
Comparing the need to Genocide brown children to need for abortion is a new low. Blue MAGA in full force.
I wasn't comparing the two issues. I was comparing your single issue voter approaches, which are the same.
Do you not see the similarities in how you argue for your "one true cause" justifying being a single issue voter?
Also, do you have a reason to call me blue maga besides pointing out that being a single issue voter means you have like-minded brethren across the aisle, or is it just because I disagree with you?
Trying to not start WW3 does not seem like a single issue to me but to each his own.
The escalations that have been warned for 9 months are getting closer and closer and Biden is sleepwalking us into a nice big war.
Ah, so when confronted with evidence of being a single issue voter, you now claim that Israel/Palestine is not a single issue.
No, buddy, you've conveyed that you're fine with ignoring all of the administrations other actions and policies, choosing to zero in on this. That's being a single issue voter.
At least the conservatives are honest with themselves. Though I guess some can mentally delude themselves into thinking "I don't think preventing the genocide of the unborn is a single issue.". You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink. I'm likely not not going to convince an account with 6000+ comments on the same issue to change your mind, and you clearly have much more free time than me, so I'm just going to stop here.
Have a good day!
Ah yes the "single issue" of foreign policy.
Is Project 2025 a single issue too?
Who are you to call someone out on not living in America? lol
So you don't live in America.
I've never been disingenuous about where I live. MI my whole life except 5 years in VA. Those are states, in case you're not familiar with them.
How am I supposed to believe you if you dont post your social security number?
I mean, no one knows you're from America either.
Oh, they aren't. That was established the other day. Which is why it's so disingenuous for them to be calling someone else out.
Who has established that, you?
You did. Right here: https://lemmy.world/post/17966612
Did you find the Unabomber?
How are they supposed to believe me if I don't post my social security number?
I would rather say appeasing to right wing voters with right wing rethoric is worthless.
