The second that happens though, I don't want the 'brunch liberals' to think that's mission accomplished and go back into hiding. That's when the pressure needs to start to push him left. Holy crap, if we actually had a Democratic president who turned out to be half as badass as the Fox News fearmongering tries to make out, I would possibly die vaguely contented.

This is largely where I am. The idea that Biden is a socialist, or fascist marxist as Trump called him today, is laughable.

Yes. With that.

Yeah, I mean there is an argument he might at least be fascist-adjacent because he's a puppet of the oligarchy, but the closest he comes to Marxism is standing next to someone who once sat in the same chair as a person who watched Citizen Smith by accident once.

Well, after all, he is appealing to folks who are too stupid to know what pure Socialism is. Those same folks, by the way, would raise hell if you took their Social Security or Medicare away from them because it is Socialist. Moronic jack asses they are. I have lost all patience for the stupidity some idiots display.

I was hoping at least the senate might go D but looks less likely.

So nothing really changes it seems.

If they paid any attention to what the actual socialists thought of the likes of Biden they'd get a rude awakening.

But for that crowd, socialism is when the government does things, and the more things the government does, the more socialisty it is.
