B.S. Biden has done or said--time to start worrying Dems about your nomination

He's a lot better than any of the weak field seeking the Dem nomination so far. So, I might.

Well since there's only one guy in that "field seeking the Dem nomination," have fun with Bacteria Boy.
 
Cool thread bro. Now do a long form one about Trump.

Any party planning to nominate Joe Biden for president needs all the advice it can get, especially advice trying to talk them out of it.

What about a party that nominates Donald Trump?
 
sailordeac said:
Why even bother with policies Biden may at one time have advocated or had a part in. By election day he won't even remember what policies he may claim to stand for today.

If the Dems have any sense at all, they will nominate Andrew Cuomo. Biden is a joke.

Healthcare: Just look at Biden’s stances on healthcare. Health insurance industry stocks have jumped thanks to Biden’s recent success in the primary, and early on it was reported that the industry seemed “to see Biden as their best chance to stop Sanders, or Warren or any of the other Medicare-for-all supporters.” It’s not surprising: Biden has promised to save their profits, while Bernie Sanders has said that healthcare financing should not be conducted by a for-profit industry in the first place.

Biden & Wall Street fat cats: Biden’s willingness to do the bidding of the rich and powerful in ways that hurt ordinary people has extended across many areas, and makes his claim to be an ambassador for the “middle class” seem sick and perverse. Consider his relationship with the finance sector, which invested millions in him. As good government advocate Zephyr Teachout has written, “‘Middle Class’ Joe has perfected the art of taking big contributions, then representing his corporate donors at the cost of middle- and working-class Americans.” He “supported banking industry consolidation and Too Big to Fail Banks” and “supported the elimination of protections that limited Wall Street speculation.”

As Teachout notes, while “bankrolled by the credit card industry… [Biden] delivered for it by spearheading a bankruptcy bill that made it harder for Americans to reduce their debts and helped cause the financial crisis.” The Consumer Federation of America said that he “provided a ‘veneer of bipartisanship’” to stripping bankruptcy protections “that eventually helped the credit card companies win over other Democrats” and Biden “provided cover to other Democrats to do what the credit industry was urging them to do.”

That bankruptcy bill led to an infamous clash between Biden and Elizabeth Warren, who was then a law professor specializing in consumer bankruptcy issues. Warren was scathing of the way Biden wanted to make it harder for poor people to get out from under crushing debts and start fresh, and concluded that “senators like Joe Biden should not be allowed to sell out women in the morning and be heralded as their friend in the evening.” In a scathing New York Times op-ed, Warren did not hold back.

Women's rights & reproductive rights: Since 1974, when Biden gave the rather shocking quote that he “didn’t think a woman had the sole right to say what happened to her body,” Biden’s record on women’s issues has been deeply disappointing. In the 1980s, he voted to let states overturn Roe v. Wade, which the National Abortion Rights Action League said was “the most devastating attack yet on abortion rights.” In 2006, Biden described himself as an “odd man out” among Democrats on abortion because he held a more conservative position than Planned Parenthood/NOW, and said he “did not view abortion as a choice and a right.” Instead, abortion was “always a tragedy” and “we should be focusing on how to limit the number of abortions.” In 2019, he was still saying he supported the Hyde Amendment banning federal funding of abortion, which Toni Van Pelt, head of the National Organization for Women, called a “shocking,” “unacceptable,” and “unsupportable” position. The NOW president did not mince words: Anyone without clear opposition to Hyde “should consider leaving the race… the girls and women of our nation deserve better.” Last year, Biden’s spokesman “declined to detail Mr. Biden’s current views on specific policies he once supported, including banning all federal funding for abortion services and research.”

China: And last month in Iowa, Biden seemed to dismiss Beijing by saying, “China is going to eat our lunch? Come on, man! …They’re not competition for us.”
“It’s wrong to pretend that China isn’t one of our major economic competitors,” tweeted the Bernie Sanders’ campaign, which has criticized free trade deals Biden supported while serving as No. 2 to Barack Obama.
”Joe Biden, incredibly, dismisses China as an economic competitor, so it’s little wonder that while Biden was in office he welcomed China’s rise and sat back and watched as the Chinese ate America’s lunch.”
Biden used the phrase “xenophobic” in reply to a Trump tweet about limiting entry to travelers from China which has since been proved that Trump was correct in doing so and Biden has backtracked and saying that was 'his stance' also.

All this sounds like your perfect candidate- so why not just vote for him?
 
Biden will probably do stuff like hand out blank checks to businesses that don’t even need them!

SOCIALISM!!!
 
All I can say is it looks like it’s going to be one hell of a next 6-7 months on the Tunnels.
 
What a dumb thread.

Conservative rubes lost the ability to critique other politicians when they sold themselves out to nominate and elect Donald Trump. Y’all (and my old self) don’t believe in shit these days except for confirming your own biases and sucking the teet of dear leader.

Here’s an inventory of what you all used to care about prior to 2016 and what you now tolerate:

Then —> Now

Family values —> “Grab em by the pussy”; Paying off porn stars

The Constitution —> The President is above the law and cannot be subpoenaed for anything while he is in office

Personal Responsibility —> Has Trump ever taken responsibility for anything? Honest question...can someone point to a time where he took responsibility for something?

The National Debt —> Add another 3 Trillion to it (and that’s before covid19)

Drain the Swamp —> Tolerating the most corrupt administration in US history (see corrupt. as. fuck. thread for numerous examples)

A strong national defense —> “I believe Putin when he says he did not meddle in our election.”

Strong border controls —> Let’s separate 4000+ kids from their parents and lock a bunch of them in cages

A strong economy —> Due to a complete inability to properly manage anything, Trump just placed a stick in the wheel of a 10+ year economic expansion.

Support for the middle class —> how much cheese did you get from the 2017 tax cut?


And you know the worst thing about what I just listed above? You could substitute almost anything in the “Now” field and you’ll still unapologetically support dear leader.

So congratulations for ignoring your principles and making policy issues a complete afterthought in presidential elections. You can try throwing rocks at others in that glass house but good luck not breaking any windows.
