The poll found 50% of Democrats approve of how Biden has navigated the conflict while 46% disapprove — and the two groups diverge substantially in their views of U.S. support for Israel. Biden’s support on the issue among Democrats is down slightly from August, as an AP-NORC poll conducted then found that 57% of Democrats approved of his handling of the conflict and 40% disapproved.
I mean, that’s kind of the biggest complaint about Biden and the whole moderate wing…
They act like nothing ever changes and they don’t have to react. There’s a shit ton of urgent problems they just won’t address because they don’t give a shit.
They don’t honestly have any goals or things to accomplish other than being elected.
So why are we still electing them? The only positive to electing a moderate Dem is a Republican doesn’t win. It’s why America has been steadily backsliding for decades, and if we keep electing them it’ll keep happening.
Best case scenario, politicians like Biden are a “pause button” on America’s collapse. And for the people who still have decades of life left, that’s just not good enough for us.
From out here, we don’t follow US politics all that closely. But it seems that the extremes (republicans and religious, they go hand in hand I suppose) in your country are so wild that it’s probably also quite difficult to get anything done.
What exactly do you mean?
Like, the far right obviously.
But whose the other extreme? The progressives wanting the same shit every other developed country already has?
Since you said “from out here” I’m curious what you meant.
You have a choice of extremes, nazis, christian extremists, republicans that want to destroy the planet “just because”, a variety of other lesser far rightwing political subgroups… And no, progressives aren’t a part of it. As elsewhere, the troublesome ones are all on the right.
I’m not in the US, I don’t know the intimate details of what goes on over there.
“Out here” is the wasteland that isn’t the US, as seen by US people.
