You misunderstand. I'm quite worried people will dismiss everything they dislike about him as not mattering because it doesn't matter to the conservative next door. Biden winning is inevitable in that case.
The biggest reason people are going for Biden is because they are going small-c conservative after Hillary lost.
PoliEra meta potshots are so baked in that I barely notice them most of the time.
Some are only interested in using "Identity Politics" as a vector of attack because they fundamentally don't care about those issues and believe everyone else is really as insincere as they are. This attitude isn't restricted only to people nominally on the right.
We are the shadowy evil donut neoshitlib corporate identity feminazi hivemind /s
AUMF is fucking horrible, but congress abdicated that role waaaaaay before that.
This I also wonder. Also, if someone opposed war with Iran back in the day why the hell would they support it in modern times?
No one. I think Bernie was just anticipating it but it comes off like an old person thing to do, not unlike Clint Eastwood talking to an empty chair. TYT has a theory though.
Probably the closest thing to it on Era, though I imagine most of the regulars here are pretty firmly left, just pragmatic.
Oh right, Arm Van Dam has the Manchin av. And course RustyNails's Ted av and the Rudy avs. And I had a Rod av at one point.
I thought the same thing. Like, the prospect of another war in the Middle East is deeply unpopular among the public. Who the hell's asking you to apologize for opposing it?
No, it's a place that aims for rational thought and productive discussion.
Chapo folks think their enemy is liberals and all that conservative shit is just background noise people would rather listen to than identity politics or some shit
Wilmington Delaware smells like absolute dogshit because of the pig farms might be what's going on with that one too.
No, it's full of pretty progressive people who want to ensure that everyone is equally protected under the law and has a decent standard of living, but who are sensible enough to acknowledge electoral and political obstacles and recognize when something won't work or will be difficult. To ignorant people who just started following politics maybe in 2010 at the earliest, haven't done their homework, and think that Democrats could make magical progressive things happen but just haven't because they're corrupt centrists, such an attitude reads as "They're just spineless establishment shills who hate the ~~~true progressives~~~/They don't want better things."
Joe Biden is awful, even my good friend and great person Kim Jung Un agrees!
