Bernie, AOC, Ilhan Omar, Cori Bush, they're all steadfastly supporting Biden, when now would be the easiest time for someone to publicly say that they think he should step down.
So, am I missing something? As in, have they all made a calculation that Biden is less bad compared to a Kamala Harris / Gavin Newsom etc?
Or am I over thinking it? I was mulling this over last night.
Political strategy made by babies for other babies. They simply think its best to not leave any room for the dems to blame the "left". Its a win-win. if Biden remains they'll earn some cheap pol capital by keeping their record as good faithful little babies and if he drops out they wont be blamed for it.
This is of course best case scenario and giving them the benefit of doubt. It may just be they're all mostly coward fucks dropping the mask, in Bernie's case I doubt he needs much incentive or strategizing to side with his "friend" Joe.
I feel like this is more about self preservation. AOC in particular has gradually been shifting to more 'acceptable' positions over the years, and I feel like if you're not willing to actually make a stand here, about a genocidal loon that is getting lampooned by the press from all sides, you're never going to do so.
Sad part is Hillarys lost already showed they can do everything to help them win but will still get thrown under the bus the 2nd they lose.
That must be it. And/or that Biden could owe the loyal progressives something, where as they'd be totally lost with another candidate. And/or that they avoid associating themselves/their policy commitments with this shit show.
AoCIA introduced articles of impeachment on justice Thomas and Alito. They think they can scream about the non possibility of replacing 2 supreme court justices before November in a Republican house. Cover up the genocide. Gaslight the public. Score shitlib points by not holding their own party accountable.
