Persuading voters means making a case for the policies you intend to carry out.

And you, of all people in this comments section, are criticizing Biden for not making a case for his ideas?

Heh... check your mirror!

Persuading voters you are going to do things and not doing them when you could is actually deceiving voters- not persuading them.

So what's your excuse for the abject failure of your "things"? Obviously you could be doing those things, except you're clearly not doing them because you're a Deceiver® and not a Persuader®.

Governing responsibly would be doing things like a BMI, medicare for all, cutting the military budget at least in half, banning fracking and a host of other things that Biden, the corporate Deathocrats and the alleged Deathocrat progressives have no intention of doing.

As if they could "be doing" all those "things" by snapping their fingers and/or issuing orders via presidential edict, except they just refuse to do that!

This is why no one takes or need ever take you seriously, Don.

Evil is not "lurking" in the Deathocrat Party.

It IS the Deathocrat Party.

And with that ignorant nugget, you need never waste your time ever again arguing that your bullshit is not a Purity Test®. :)

Shocking. Positively shocking.

Thoughts on your girl's concession speech?

It was the "evil money" that did Nina Turner in.

Nina Turner referred to Mike Bloomberg as an "oligarch" while working for Bernie Sanders, himself a millionaire with multiple homes and a member of the 1%. I'm not a big fan of Bloomberg, but referring to money in those terms while working for Bernie? Duh.

It defies logic, in my opinion, the way the progressive movement in one breath will criticize money as inherently evil and those who have it as "elitists," "corporatists," "warmongers," etc. and then in another breath sing the praises of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, a former Assistant Secretary of the Navy and one of the richest presidents in history from one of the richest families in America (adjusted for inflation). Franklin's wife's uncle Theodore (26th POTUS) was the original progressive of the wealthy family (despite being even richer) and a definite influence on his niece, Eleanor Roosevelt as well as Franklin.

So the whole progressivism rhetoric insinuating "money is inherently evil" and the disparagement of "millionaires and billionaires" combined with the FDR worship is a giant honking contradiction that seems to have escaped their notice... but I digress.

"Evil is lurking in the Democratic party."

Well, Nina is definitely the Democrat who outspent her opponent, and that meets Nina's own definition, does it not?

It's like saying to somebody, "You have a bowl of shit in front of you, and all you've got to do is eat half of it instead of the whole thing." It's still shit.

I don't expect a member of any political party to be forced to endorse any other member of their Party or even to vote for them if they are so disinclined, but this type verbal diarrhea is nothing if not proof of a candidate's possessing "shit" where there ought to be brains.

Well, maybe she'll learn a thing or two befor then. :)

When does AOC have to run again?

Even years... all of them.

Thank the gods she lost!

Can we talk about naivete?

Good God. I do detest being on the same side as the Clintons.

What kind of ads was the Turner campaign running??

This is what I'm talking about.

They always seem to want what they want when they want it the way they want it, and to heck with filibuster-proof Democratic majorities in the US Senate - or House, for that matter.

It's one thing to move policies in the right direction. Quite another to persuade voters and govern responsibly.

Progressives could learn a lot from president Biden about all of that, if they stopped long enough to listen and work together for progressive change.

Yeah, most progressives rub me the wrong way ... maybe I'm just too old. :)

When does AOC have to run again?

You can't always get what you want.
