    Apply more pressure. Like, put all of your power toward getting them replaced if they don't fall in line. The Bully Pulpit.

    Problem is, nobody really likes Biden. Nobody really supports him.

    It was always going to be this way. Nobody really voted for Biden. They voted for the idea of getting back to normal.

    But because Biden lacks actual support he's weak. This was always going to happen with a president like him.

    But he IS less damaging than Trump... At least we've slowed our roll, even if we're still going the wrong direction.

    When someone praises Hitler it is appropriate to call them on it. But lying sack of shit isn't specific. I think you know the difference.

    “Hold the Line!”: Can Progressives Force Passage of $3.5T Package to Expand the Social Safety Net?



    It is clear that Joe Manchin isn't even a democrat. But I find too many democrats to no longer be liberal, and therefore IMO no longer democrat.

    They Voted For Trump And Then For Biden. Here's What These Swing Voters Think Now

    Many moderate Republicans switched allegiances in last year's election and backed Joe Biden because they could not abide four more years of Donald Trump.

    These voters, who swung from backing Trump in 2016 to Biden in 2020, helped make the difference for Biden in places where the margins were close — often, the suburbs.

    So today, about eight months into Biden's presidency, how do these voters view him?

    In a pair of virtual focus groups NPR observed last week, featuring more than a dozen such voters from key states, a picture emerged of disappointment with Biden — but no regrets that they helped send Trump packing after one term.............................


    Not thrilled with Biden, but absolutely not missing Trump

    These two focus groups consisted of all Biden voters, but overwhelmingly they still consider themselves Republicans. They haven't yet left the party, even though they're disillusioned by Trump's ongoing presence and the control he still holds.

    In contrast to the majority of Republicans responding to polls, none of these voters falsely believes the 2020 election was stolen.

    None said they regret their 2020 vote. And while they may be disappointed in Biden, they absolutely rule out voting for Trump if he runs for president again....................(CONTINUED)

    Democrats aren't liberal or conservative. They are anti-Republican. Meaning they will try to raise money and gain votes from people who are not Republicans.

    I guess "nobody" was too strong of a word. I should have had a qualifier like "almost" in there.

    Was Biden your ideal presidential candidate?

    Biden was my fourth or fifth pick but all of the candidates were preferred over that asshat, Trump.

    Probably picked it up from the crowds shouting Fuck Trump for the last 4 years. Unimaginative and boring.
