The left needs to challenge Biden, especially on US involvement in Gaza. But to do that, we need to keep him in office.

    I was with this article until the accusation that the Biden admin “stoked tensions” between Russia and Ukraine. It was Putin who invaded Crimea in 2014 and Putin who started backing and staffing separatists in Eastern Ukraine in 2018 and Putin who was talking about getting the USSR back together in 2020 and Putin who massed troops on the Ukrainian border in mid to late 2021, not even a year into the Biden administration.

    It’s absolute bullshit to blame those tensions on Biden. Complete brain dead, clownish buffoonery.

      Yeah, the article is pretty tankie on that point, the author’s far-left credentials are pretty well established though. I thought it was a good argument why people who are way left of the current Democratic Party still benefit from continuing to vote for democrats because it allows them to keep pushing for change.

        Yeah. The title is a bit clickbait, though. The “enemy” being Biden in this election is pretty disingenuous when we have a literal fascist opposing him.

          Neither are not the enemy, just in their own way. Comparatively, there’s no contest. One’s a wobbly sac of fetid pus, and the other’s more like a knuckle slipping off the tp when you wipe. 🤷🏼‍♂️ There’s nothing to learn from the former, just huck it off a cliff and forget about it. Wash your hands.
