Is there anything Biden can do now to win over progressives?

Yeah that one

Let me be mod Iā€™ll take care of it

Iā€™ve read enough of your posts to know that your views are a lot more opposed to mine than you think they are. Theyā€™re going to be that way until you stop being so wishy washy on climate change and income inequality.

This also just ignores how ghoulish the rest of the GOP really is. The president in this country has surprisingly little power. The current clusterfuck that is pandemic relief has nothing to do with him and everything to do the fact that all of the GOP (and most dems) absolutely refuse to give cash to people they deem unworthy, no matter how much they need it and how much it would help the economy.

How am I wishy-washy on climate change? Iā€™m a climate change absolutist for Christ sake. Itā€™s hands down the most important issue we face and I have said so dozens of times on this forum. Iā€™ve never on e made a post opposed to climate change research or much more strict policy.

Yeah, we should just assume Trump is going to win a second term and focus all our energy on flipping Senate seats and potentially get to a Dem supermajority in 2022 because Biden winning while Republicans control the Senate means weā€™re just as fucked as we are now.

Wat? First of all, a ton of the mom and pop stores put out of business by Wal-Mart are run by those people whose first language isnā€™t English. And the efficiency of Wal-Mart is that it employs fewer people to deliver the same amount of goods. Take away Wal-Mart and more people have jobs.

Iā€™m telling you that more people are employed (or running their own business) when thereā€™s not Wal-Mart. Seems obvious to me.

Going to have to link the GOAT Utopia

What if you ban corporations or at least hold the stock holders truly liable for whatever they do - the same way mom and pop are liable for what they do?

If you canā€™t do that, or the public benefit from large corporations is too large to live without, then regulate the hell out of these fictional persons of course.

Well, if food production and distribution were nationalized, Donald Trump would be in charge of who gets to produce food and who gets to eat in the United States. I donā€™t think that would be great.

ggoreo 5d chess ITT. Remember when Walmart used to brag how much of their stuff was made in America before they put all the Mom and Popā€™s out of business? Thereā€™s so much bad about Walmart, albeit I definitely have shopped there too much in the past so I think Iā€™ll just stop.

I want to know if there are any credible potential vice presidential nominees with a reasonable rƩsumƩ who would make hardcore Bernie supporters willing to vote for Biden and make Biden very worried about standing at the top of a staircase with that poster.

Percentage of those people who would call Bernie a traitor if Biden went back on his promise to nominate a woman and named Bernie as his running mate?

From the old man fights Iā€™ve seen on YouTube, Biden probably hits Trump doing no damage, but the swing or contact causes Biden himself to fall down. Then Secret Service jumps on him.

I think they are both frail, but more than frail they probably are unsteady on their feet.

Trump is President of the United States and unfortunately that means something. Yeah, I think Biden is in trouble if he punches Trump.

Iā€™m sure Joeā€™s body is still relatively strong and Trump is a true coward. Joe would stomp a mud hole in that ass

Trumpā€™s four years younger than Biden. Honestly I think Trump could take him.

Trumpā€™s golf swing is also reasonably athletic. And he still golfs. Does Biden do anything like that? Heā€™s just a 78 year old man who challenges random obese voters to squat thrust competitions.

Iā€™d bet pretty heavily in the other direction.

It would be an absolutely pathetic fight though.

Iā€™d for sure buy the PPV though. Shit they should make it happen, thereā€™s a lot of money on the table.

I donā€™t think Trump has ever thrown a punch in his life and Joe has, so that makes a bit off a difference Iā€™d say.

But the age is definitely the biggest factor along with weight.

Trump wins without throwing a punch
