    Biden has to have more to offer than to be the alternative to Trump, and because even bringing up his age causes condemnation, I’m not sure there’s actually much else being considered about Biden as a candidate.

      I’m pretty excited for the Amtrak expansion myself. It paves the way for actual urban transit options.

      Sure would be nice to know what the Republican platform is, besides being not Democrat.

      At least the Dems have a platform, and they work towards it.

        and they work towards it.

        You mean where they’re pro-union but they block strikes?

        You mean where they’re against genocide but support Israel?

        You mean where they want to raise the minimum wage but set the Treasury and the Fed on a warpath against American workers?

        You mean where they’re pro-choice but refuse to codify it?

        Establishment Democrats do not work towards their platform. They intentionally self sabotage.

        EDIT: I forgot one: You mean where they claim to take climate change seriously but then force thousands of federal workers to return to offices?

          Every 4 years Republicans move 6 steps towards fascism, while dems only move 4 steps towards fascism and tell us they’re our only hope to avoid fascism.
