    This is the same tired line we have to hear every 4 years. It’s been a substitute for concrete policy and it’s gotten all of us nowhere.

      Let’s pour some concrete then

      Did he deliver on everything? Of course not, campaign promises are as much aspirational as anything. But speaking of concrete, he was part of the badly needed infrastructure package, which had reached the point of a joke under the Trump administration (infrastructure week!)

        The issue with Biden is that he represents the greater issue with having different flavors of Capitalist parties, and nothing else, within American electoralism.

        Leftists will never be able to be satisfied with a lukewarm liberal president, whereas fascists get to gleefully vote republican and have their views validated.

        As such, elections are a matter of harm reduction for leftists, while meaningful change must be done at the grassroots level.

      Definitely not the same. Please cite when this concern was raised in a previous election?

      Any prior candidates encouraged a mob to attempt an insurrection?

      Any other candidates collect classified material and refuse to hand it back?
