      He’d be rounding out his second term right now. He was clearly up to the task. I hope he remains in the Senate until he passes. He’s an exceptional person, who should be treated as such, like RBG.

        I’d prefer if he leaned more heavily into supporting upcoming socialist politicians throughout his state to help lead the next generation of leftist politicians into power.

      Sanders is doing right now, exactly the right thing. Its the thing Biden should be doing but is seemingly incapable of. Its being on the right side of history as history is happening and not accepting some fatalistic inevitability about the future.

        Heard on the news today that Biden said that it is not genocide in Gaza. He really wants to lose I guess.

        I voted, donated, and knocked on doors for Sanders. He should be our president not the fucking lesser evil Biden.

          I’m still going to vote for Biden. He is wrong on the Gaza situation, though has made strides elsewhere.

          Unfortunately it is also either him or possibly THE Idiot Savant. Would prefer ol’ Bernie, even today.

          Literally today.

            I voted for Biden once I will do again to keep Trump out. But after that I am done. Either progressive take control of the party by 2028 our this country can burn for all I care. Done with this bullshit.

            Wake me up when we are ready to riot.

              Honestly? I agree. Biden will give us a few years to get our shit together. Though I hope there will be people who are able to pull others together for that exact reason.

        not accepting some fatalistic inevitability about the future.

        He is describing an inevitability; Socialism or Barbarism.
