I do kinda take issue with a lot of people talking about (even though its regular campaign talk) Joe Biden's gonna "end racism" and all that s***

Like part of me is thinking okay hold him accountable to do all these grand things keep that same energy,

people are capping hard

I just see it as, this is an improvement albeit not that wonderful of an improvement, if Biden gets into office

I can't blame anyone for strongly disliking him and people like him,

Like the people who shut progressives out for the more moderate candidates, while pretending to be for the "people" lol

I'm just thinking: "okay whats next" if he does get elected

He only ran because of Trump tho

electing Biden is basically a drop in the bucket of what actually needs to be done to remedy and/or remove the problems

I don't want people to just relax and stop paying attention to the issues just cause they're happy to have a Dem in office again, this would be the time to push harder than ever for a lot of these issues because its a greater opportunity

Biden supports the cops and the military, the biggest fascists in the country. He isn't going to be pushed to the left either. Why would he be? That's nothing more than wishful thinking. Biden supporters need to be honest. Hes a racist conservative ghoul who's only got a chance because he's going against trump. He isnt going to tackle the oppressive mechanisms in our society

for sure. now he can run more on "im not that guy" instead of presenting a case on himself

either way im voting him but the dude is not exactly inspiring my vote lmao

9 times out of 10 the office of the presidency itself doesn't seem to tackle the oppressive mechanisms in our society so what do you think people can do to make the act of doing so a possibility?

u fw the Green New Deal at all

Like sometimes local politicians start a trend, raise minimum wage, get things done to better quality of life for people in the state or location, so theres that,

What could a progressive or socialist practically do in this situation, short of arming up and waging a literal war on elected officials

Organize themselves

And sure. Its insufficient but has some good things

Like maybe we could present any practical alternatives to just sitting around and accepting everything passively, but I'm still green to this game and belief system and learning everyday

It's obv angering when so many people are being crushed by the structure of this country people just need a way out and a way to help and they might take it

It's definitely the best attempt so far in modern day, to confront a lot of the greater issues facing us, hopefully that's able to get pushed although I'm not very hopeful of anything being guaranteed. It'd be nice.

No one is saying to just sit around

Like these terms Green New Deal, Social-Democracy, Medicare for All, are all working their way into the political psyche of Americans in the last four years or so at a high rate,

There has to be a way one could take advantage of that uptick in convo around those things to get things done

It won't get passed lol

Pelosi got me hot rn too

politico.com/news/2020/08/20/nancy-pelosi-endorses-joe-kennedy-senate-race-399447

this s*** makes me less and less hopeful

the only good speeches were the security guard and Jill Biden yall stretching it

ofc she wants to get the co-author of the green new deal outta here

It really makes me wanna say some foul s*** out of frustration but I’m refraining

Nancy I ain’t feelin ya. Foh

She’s pretty old like... why are u trying to block a chance at meaningful progress when you’re going to die relatively soon anyway based on life expectancy

One answer is that she’s friends with Kennedy even though she worked with Markey for a while apparently

It just sucks. Like any piece of progressive legislation is just brushed off oh we couldn’t possibly try that yet

F***ing kneeling in kente cloths and s***

These old democrats bro

Feel like u can't teach an old dog new tricks or somethin
