If the democratic party was at all interested in the opinion of the general public (which includes you and me), they would at least run some primaries and go through the motions of a western liberal democracy. Instead, they've decided to rerun 2020 on the hope that the bold message of "He's not Trump" will work again.

The election is in eleven months - if Biden loses the fault lands squarely on the democrats for covering their ears and saying "lalalala" any time someone suggests maybe actually doing something resembling democracy. Or hey you can continue to pre-blame the left for an election that hasn't happened yet and accuse us of actually being conservatives, certainly that will convince us to line up behind Genocide Joe.

Trump winning (because progressives refuse to vote)

Gotta love how liberals portray progressives as simultaneously a large enough voting bloc to sway entire elections, but not large enough to ever enact a single progressive policy even when it's a campaign promise.

It's an article literally saying that "leftists can push Biden to the left" while pointing to these accomplishments as proof:

[Biden's administration] embraced massive government intervention to stave off the worst economic impacts, including handing millions of families monthly checks (by expanding the child tax credit), giving all kids in public schools free meals, boosting unemployment insurance and extending health coverage to millions.

All of those policies were temporary and have now expired. Truly the most progressive president since LBJ.

 

It's a show where a group of office workers have their memories surgically separated between their work and personal lives. It's like sci-fi/mystery/anti-work horror and unambiguously portrays the megacorporation as torturing their employees. So basically as anticapitalist a product could be coming from a trillion dollar phone company.

The first season just ended and set up what should be an equally thrilling second season, so check it out friends.
