I donβt know how many times anyone can explain that Joe Manchin did 1000x more damage to Joe Bidens presidency than anyone on Chapo. No one on the left has any power! We canβt throw anyone out!
Aaron has mistaken his clips and videos for Doing Politics, and online leftists can seem powerful. Dude should maybe try to organize a union drive or even just get a beer with normie libs right now. This is not a leftist worry about Biden, it is universal.
I was told breathlessly that it was essential that Manchin keeps hold of his seat. Now he is consistently used as a βparliamentarianβ-like excuse as to why nothing can get done. Iβve had enough of it. Iβve voted their way every time. I demand better, & itβs their fault if they canβt organize that.
You don't understand that 2 things can be true at once?
It can be true that:
1) We needed Manchin's seat so that the GOP didn't control the Senate with a firm grip on Biden's balls
AND
2) The slim majority placed Manchin in a position where he had a grip on Biden's balls and half of his shaft
Yet you still don't understand that a shitload of judges got confirmed because Manchin voted for them, and the whiny leftists contributed the square root of jack shit.
It's wild that libs think this is convincing. If Manchin, who is effectively just a blue republican going on Fox News and everything, is the ONLY way the party can maintain power, then maybe it shouldn't have that power.
Correct. These people donβt think I understand their calculus. I do. I reject it. If this country is ever going to avoid the Republican blockade and the descent into fascism, it needs to do something different than play razorβs edge politics with goons like Joe Manchin and Krysten Sinema
And because I am one guy in one of the bluest states in America, who has voted their way every single time, it is THEIR problem to solve. If I am truly to believe that they are the essential opposition party and the only thing standing in Trumpβs way, then itβs time for them to make the big changes
You've got a weird cognitive issue where you think someone stating the way things *are* is a statement of how they ought to be:
"Hey man, the roof is on fire & we're gonna have to crawl out the window cause the doors are blocked"
"Oh, you think houses shouldn't have doors? I reject your calculus!"
What Rupar sees as leftists going "easy" on Trump and hard on dems is just us not wasting our time screaming "Trump bad" all day. Everyone on the left knows Trump is a monster. Biden claims to not suck so when he does bad things we get pissed off and yell about it.
this guy is going to be fighting out the 2016 primary like those Imperial Japanese soldiers on islands in 1973. Like itβs not 2020 anymore buddy, nobody gives a fuck, we have to deal with Scranton Joe vs. the grim reaper
We were literally the ones saying "smash nazis through any means necessary!" in 2018 and people like him were the ones telling is to stop being hysterical and calling everyone we don't like nazis!
I don't think the bluesky leftists are who you have to worry about with harris
the misogyny and racism from your Concerned Centrists in the suburbs will be plenty
(I'd vote for Harris happily)
Aaron Rupar has never talked to a leftist in his entire miserable fucking life and he makes that evident everytime he opens his stupid gob. I loathe him.
"People who have spent five years saying Biden won't, can't, and doesn't adequately oppose Trump are now suggesting Biden is replaced by a candidate that sucks slightly less"
Where is this narrative coming from that progressives are the ones trying to push out Biden? Why didn't I get the memo on that? AND FOR THE HUNDREDTH TIME WHERE IS MY SOROS CHECK???? π
Speaking for my (leftist) self: I JUST WANT DEMS TO STOP WHINING ABOUT OLD AF BIDEN AND FIGHT!
