Oh 100%
Manchin and Cinema are Dem in name only, their actions are GOP at every turn.
Don't forget, 3 of the 5 SCOTUS were appointed by Trump, so everything happening with them now is from that and Biden doesn't have power to stop that.
And either way, both Dem and GOP are Right Wing parties and their goals are more or less to maintain the status quo, benefit corporations and elites, keep power, etc.
Neither party has interests or incentives to truly progress things that benefit people, except in maybe a scrap or two to get votes.
We don't really have a government by the people and FOR the people right now. If we did we would have Ranked Choice Voting, no more Electoral College BS, no more Gerrymandering, Voting Day would be a federal holiday, mail in ballots would be universal and accepted, etc etc etc.
Friendly stranger. I do not know what we disagree on.
The only thing I can see is I think Biden should have done more to pack the court and for not doing that. He is now partially responsible for the things we were seeing come from them. I've seen people arguing that doing so when he had that slim majority in the Senate wouldn't have been effective and been political suicide but I disagree. I think a lot more people would be willing to vote for him if he had done it. I would be much more enthused about this candidate if you had done it. I believe the real reason he didn't is because he didn't want to. I don't believe there is a way for us to prove this one way or the other. I respect your opinion. I just disagree with it.
I believe we want the same things. My original comment was only to point out that a lot of people are acting like Biden is doing all the things we want and is actually good instead of just a less right-wing candidate. I just want more straightforward and honest communication around this.
My original comment is just saying I do not like this false narrative that Biden is killing it when he is really not doing much good and continuing a lot of evil. Totally agree, he's better than Trump and I think that should just be the end of our messaging. We're honestly the Democratic party needs to find a way to make someone else the nominee. I don't think if we stay coarse the Dems win.
