I mean the Jim crow literacy test thing was used against voters. These are people that are supposed to govern. I kinda draw a distinction there.

Yes I do believe that voters and the press should be caring more and asking more revealing questions, but media literacy in this country is low, voter involvement is low, and our press is nothing more than arms of the ruling class so they rarely ever ask the necessary questions to allow voters to truly understand who's on the ballot.

Yea I'm so elite. That's why I barely survive paycheck to paycheck, don't have healthcare, don't have much with regards to retirement funds, and have to ration my food. And I'm fucking 33.

Fuck you, you elitist old man. Democratic elite are showing their true colors, that they don't give a fuck about us. We are trying to tell him that he's going to lose to a fascist with his shitty debate performance, and he's pretending it didn't happen and trying to gaslight us. It's not that we want trump because we don't. But we are worried that his shit performance will depress the vote into not voting, which is a very real threat and will lead to fascism.

If we fall into fascism it won't be the voters fault, it'll be the fault of the elite ruling class. We didn't have to go in this direction, but we have been going here because Republicans keep going further authoritarian and the Democratic party barely tries to push back.

That should instantly disqualify her from holding office. You should have a basic understanding of American history in order to govern properly, and it's obvious she doesn't know shit about the history of this country despite arrogantly acting like she does.

Reagan and Bush senior told Israel to cut it out when they were overstepping and Israel straightened the fuck up.

If conservative presidents can do it, so can Biden.

Probably didn't stop her from being some fraternity's favorite invite to parties

Crawls back out from under her stuffy old bridge to make a buck and stroke her own ego.

And yet she still can't fathom that she lost in 2016 to a reality TV host because of her unlikability. Nope, couldn't be that. Must be sexism, the Russians, Bernie bros, hell throw bigfoot in there somewhere.

Yes as a long time PC gamer, I don't understand why people act as if steam and valve are gods. Like ok cool it has the most games and whatever, but they've been going downhill. There's so many random asset flips and porn games now, and their sales have been shit for years now. I remember games going on sale for 90% off during seasonal sales, and all the % off coupons they'd just randomly give out. That never happens now.

So solid that polling says the opposite, the media is starting to catch on, and there is a report that dem strategists are freaking the fuck out over how shit Biden's chances are. CNN miraculously figured out that, surprise surprise a lot of it has to do with Biden's handling of Gaza.

Sry, but you're delusional if you seriously think that the Israel thing isn't a huge factor towards why Biden has lost so much support. We are literally seeing a democratic president aid Israel in commiting a genocide.

US presidents have told Israel to cut the shit and stop or else multiple times in the past and Israel has listened. The same can and should be done here. Eisenhower did it, ford did it, Reagan did it, and h w bush did it.

Trying to voter shame people when they feel so strongly about this really isn't going to work or help you. I agree, Trump really should not be allowed to get into office, but at the same time you can't act as if these voters don't have a right to be angry. For these people, it goes further than just voting.

They spoiled each other, sure. The only reason I state her as the spoiler is because by that primary, sanders had the name recognition from his previous run. He already had a movement behind him. Warren has to build hers from scratch.

Unfortunately warren also played spoiler to sanders, helping Biden win..
