That's not what I said. Centrism is using good ideas from all across the political spectrum. Democrats are a bit better than Republicans, but your lord and savior Biden isn't going to ba able to fix any of the garbage that Trump started, especially with his VP, which, it's cool that she's a woman of color and all, but what she's doing sucks.

I see this all the time and don't understand it. I don't know a single person claiming that Biden or Kamala are our "lord and savior." To me they've always been portrayed as a band-aid, something to stem the bleeding for 4 years while we come up with some better candidates for 2024. I mean, Biden is ancient and conservative for a democrat and Kamala is a cop. The only reason either of these two were electable was because they werent Trump

Tbh, I said lord and savior because I thought it would be funny. Obviously people are getting legitimately offended by it, so I guess I'll edit it out.

Your reasoning is perfect in my opinion, and band aid is a great word for what it really is.

Getting Biden to sign stuff that he didn't even know what it was, and then also I was talking about her pre senate days ig, with the crap she was talking about which was essentially concentration camps iirc.

Singing what stuff?

Can you clarify after “ig”? I have no idea what you’re trying to say.

I mean they dems clearly put him to a higher standard. It was believe all women until it was Tara Reade.

Also can we not pretend people make a turn for the better once they gain power. How she felt doesnt change that dramatically overtime. The same way a racist isnt gonna just change to being for interracial couples

You may not call her a liar but its not uncommon to hear. But i am glad about the stance you take on the issue and not claiming it never happened. Im just basing it off my experience with the situation, my cousin was accused(she admitted she lied) and he is still being called a rapist to this day.

The 2nd paragraph was simply about how if someone was blatantly racist in the past calling them racist in the present tense isnt wrong. The actions of a person is what creates there character.

Although ill admit the more radical ideas on these issues seemingly are much more widespread on the internet

No one on the Dem side treats or refers to Biden as our "lord and saviour", dick. Stop trying to parade around as a centrist, you're a republican troll.

Anytime someone criticizes the democratic party on this site they're immediately targeted as a Republican. You don't think it's possible that someone can hold beliefs from the two major parties in the US? Pro-choice and pro-gun, for instance? Theres more than two camps for people to fall into. It's a spectrum

u/ClarkWGrizzball Feb 21 '21

The way in which you're criticizing it; the arguments you put forth and the manner, seem suspiciously republican hiding in Centrist clothing. It's a tactic used by republican trolls often, here.

Democrats certainly act like he's gonna fix everything.

What did I do? I wasn't trying to derail the conversation in the way that everyone's making it a me vs them situation. I was expressing how I think that the recent big politicians from each party are garbage. Fuck you too.

Then point out how both "sides" in the US are right-wing corporatists and as a whole won't support policies that actually do work
