Perhaps you think I should spend an hour researching ALL your posts before daring to respond to you.
Still, I'd prefer if you could find a way to complain without declaring me to be a liar.
I think you should at least research the posts about that subject, yes. The forum has tools to search Jarhyn for Nader, and you would have the sum total of posts about the subject, all replies to you or Jimmy or Harry or whoever I have been arguing with; I ended up reading this and responding to it separately and it feels silly to respond to it or, honestly, any of this at this point?
Biden and his Congress successfully enacted a rather leftist agenda, no?
No, he didn't. He enacted a very conservative agenda, which was ironically opposed by everyone claiming to be conservative, and this was sold as something other than "conservative".
I would have more respect for them if they didn't even ask for our votes.
Hell, just using the office as a public platform to openly criticize the Republicans and their loud culture war bullshit, making the "culture war" "the fault of the Republicans", doing literally anything of the many things legal scholars suggested that would have stopped any of this.
He could openly criticize the biases of the news media, which actually existed.
Hell, just behaving differently would have helped, but just like I have said repeatedly that this is not about Nader, this is also not about Biden.
This is, in fact, stupidly and ironically about Hillary, because Biden existed as an election for "please let's be boring and normal again". That was his platform.
Frankly, he shouldn't have been run. Maybe Walz, though he entered the national stage a bit late?
AOC would have been firey enough, and since Trump is also inexperienced, experience wouldn't have factored?
My criticisms of that whole debacle start at much earlier unforced mistakes but the Dems, but Nader, Biden, those are symptoms of the trait, specifically, of the Dems being a fiscally conservative party that has sold itself as "liberal" whatever that is supposed to mean to whoever; It is full of old people who disdain taxes and holding power accountable, at the top, despite seeking the votes of younger and middle aged folks seeking change.
Then, part of the problem is that
she, Hillary Clinton, working with the Democrat party, fucking rigged a primary she was going to win anyway; don't do THAT. It's political suicide.
She didn't need to do that. She did it to reduce the political capital, and influence within the party, of progressive representatives, of the people who represent people like me at large.
It means a seat on committees for lawmakers like AOC and Bernie Sanders through party organization and connections to the congressional whips and leaders.
It means looking at spoiler party platforms and describing why the changes or differences exist and how the big tent way is better, not just "because you know better" or "because it's electable".
The reality is that electability can apply to anyone. Electability is about belief, and belief is about salesmanship.
Biden had the electability of a corpse and Trump had the electability of a forceful sentient bowel movement, but people will elect a forceful bowel movement over a still corpse any day; just as long as it's forceful is the important part. The first time he ran, at least he wasn't so much of a corpse yet.
Select. Forceful. People.
