    Dude comes so close, but then blames dem voters instead of the politicians or political system that represents capital ahead of people.

    It’d be one thing if Biden was listening to the base, but he does all this in spite of the dems, not because of them.

    Despite what the republicans say, Biden is not swayed by money (hence why Obama had to pay for his son’s medical procedures) or what anyone tells him, he always does what he knows is right. Unfortunately he has the kind of moral compass that tells you to oppose desegregation and write 100:1 laws.

      We can’t change the system unless we vote en bloc. For president, there are two choices, but there are thousands of downticket races for state and local governments where there are valid progressive options. Conservatives have been extremely successful getting their base to consistently back conservative candidates in those local campaigns, and they are getting what they want because politicians fear their unified wrath.

      Progressives can be torn apart and distracted by absurd thought experiments and false equivalencies.
