    RCV is the next carrot to keep idiots voting Democrat. The Bernie plan got exposed and Biden is not much lesser evil than Trump anymore. We have to give them a reason to be stupid enough to keep voting blue.

    When RCV almost takes hold they will both sides a bullshit authoritarian move out of their ass and ban it.

        Bernie almost won so the DNC turned against him.

        Now everyone has given up on getting a progressive Democrat in power so a new carrot is needed. Which is RCV.

              So the emails, hacked by Russians, revealed that a lot of Democrats didn’t like Bernie. Big fucking deal, a lot of people didn’t like Bernie. What did the DNC supposedly do to hurt Bernie?

              And the DNC chair resigned because Democrats always resign. See Al Franken. Doesn’t matter if they did anything wrong, Dems are just spineless.

                I have to wonder… If the Russians had hacked Bernie Madoff or Sam Bankman Fried, would Reddit Liberals think they were heroes, too?

                Doesn’t matter if they did anything wrong

                It does though. It matters quite a bit.

                  It should, but it doesn’t. Dems resign all the time because of a “perception of impropriety” or whatever the fuck. Dem officials are spineless, and social justice warriors are bloodthirsty vampires.

                    I wish they did. Guys like Cuellar and Menendez cling stubbornly to their seats. I wouldn’t be surprised if Eric Adams needs to get dragged out of the mayor’s office before too long.

                    social justice warriors are bloodthirsty vampires

                    Advice to Dems who keep getting in trouble. Maybe stop doing crimes.

            The DNC rigging the election against Bernie is a well established fact.

            Your lack of knowledge but overconfidence symbolizes everything the DNC hopes their voters are.

      Trump: "A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.” (Truth Social post, Dec. 3. 2022)

      So what has Biden done that is “not much lesser evil” than trying to terminate the Constitution?

        He’s been sponsoring a genocide in Gaza for the last six months, just for starters. His federal agencies helped coordinate violent police crackdowns of peaceful student protests, from Columbia to UCLA.

        He’s continued Trump era immigration laws and even tightened them, resulting in the deaths of dozens of lawful asylum seekers in US custody and hundreds more in the wilderness along the US-Mexico border.

        He continues to keep War Criminals like Elliot Abrams in his cabinet, and sponsors their efforts to inflict more coups and banana republics across Latin America.

        He’s accelerated climate change by approving record new oil leases on public land, in exchange for O&G kickbacks to his party.

        He bailed out Silicon Valley and Signature Banks to the tune of billions in order to protect depositors who had explicitly sought to avoid the cost of FDIC insurance, and received more kick backs in kind.

        He kept Louis DeJoy at the Post Office, giving Trump’s man another four years to dismantle the largest non-military government employer.

        I can keep going…

          The problem is that as far as I can tell, in every last thing you mention Biden is completely dominated by Trump’s policies in terms of deplorableness.

          For example, Louis Dejoy - Biden has merely refused to exceed his constitutional authority to fire DeJoy, something he has utterly no power to do and would immediately be overturned by the Supreme Court, helped along by the 3 extreme conservatives Trump put on the court. Meanwhile he’s started the process by ousting DeJoy’s allies. And of course, it was Trump who put DeJoy there in the first place. It’s like refusing to take the side of the Allies over the Axis because they’re not moving quickly enough to defeat Hitler. Yeah I get that it’s frustrating, but logically if you don’t like DeJoy, take the one side that’s anti-DeJoy. Trump obviously plans to keep him in as long as possible.

          Or Israel. Biden’s policy is to continue funding Israel, and he’s backed by Congress and Trump in doing so. But Trump has gone much further than Biden or any other Democrat, having rewarded Israel’s oppression of Palestinians by recognizing Jerusalem as their capital, and giving the Medal of Freedom to Miriam Adelson, who openly supports Israel annexing the West Bank and has continued supporting Trump in 2024, donating him $100 million

          Or climate change, immigration, etc. There’s a lot of hopeful fossil fuel CEOs spending tons on Trump, who wants to roll back all attempts to transition away from gasoline-fueled cars, there was that whole family separations thing, etc. Talking about war criminals, Trump actually pardoned a bunch of them including one convicted of first degree murder in the deaths of 14 Iraqi civilians, at the behest of his rich friend Erik Prince.

          Point being, even if we limit ourselves to just looking at the bad things Biden has done, they’re still much lesser evil.

            They’re all continuations of Trump’s policies. Biden didn’t reverse them like he campaign on. In many cases, he made them worse.

            For example, Louis Dejoy - Biden has merely refused to exceed his constitutional authority to fire DeJoy

            Yes. Because Biden’s perfectly fine with privatization and always has been.

            Or Israel. Biden’s policy is to continue funding Israel, and he’s backed by Congress and Trump in doing so.

            Yes. Because Biden is perfectly fine with the genocide of the Palestinians and the reclamation of Gaza by Israeli settlers.

            Or climate change, immigration, etc.

            Yes, because Biden is beholden to the O&G lobby and perfectly happy with mass incarceration, etc.

            Point being, even if we limit ourselves to just looking at the bad things Biden has done, they’re still much lesser evil.

            They’re the same evil because they’re the same policies.
