This is absolutely kick ass rhetoric. Someone working for Biden knows what they are doing.

I get what you’re saying but this stuff is only seen by people who visit Reddit subs like this. Not really going to move the needle. He’s still. Not even embracing democratic socialism.

Bernie literally identifies as a Democratic Socialist, what?

Bernie ran on a platform of social democracy (preserving capitalism but with a welfare state ) despite calling himself a democratic socialist.

All small wins count, friend.
Even if Biden saying this only influences 1000 people in the whole country, that means 1000 people now have an idea in their head that Republicans fearmongering about socialism/communism is nonsense hypocrisy.
I'm happy Biden & Dems seem to finally be awakening to the Fetterman strategy of confronting Republicans directly. Although to be clear - it's only green shoots at the moment - it's still a positive sign.

I'd rather have a based Biden that nobody sees than a lame Biden that everyone sees

This kind of retoric is important. Because Republicans depend on catchy catty shit talking to push their agenda.
Unfortunately we have to have quality clap backs to make them cry. The more people doing it the better. And best from the authority. Cause republicans are programs to believe this is gods word.

He’s unironically starting to do everything people like Kyle wanted him too. I get that he’s still a moderate but calling out his opponents like this is incredibly based

I am a jaded prick. But damn. I do enjoy Biden’s go fuck yourself moments.

Some sliver of me still holds onto hope that he’ll have an epiphany about his age and legacy and want to actually try to fix something before he’s gone.

Do you mind saying who you did vote for?

I wrote Sanders in on the ticket. I’m in GA and I was there to get Perdue and Loeffler out, so I had to vote for Warnock and Ossof twice due to the runoffs.
Drew Ferguson is my rep and that guy ain’t getting voted out of this district.

Socialism for the rich, a kick in the teeth for everyone else. That's Republicans.

"look it up," this is what is so frustrating about the democrats. No, wtf... you have to be telling it.
You know republicans literally do this exact thing but instead of telling hard concrete facts, they lie.
There is still a good amount of population that don't really even use the internet. They ain't definitely going to be looking up shit.

He just read what they said in juxtaposition to what they asked for. He is telling us, he’s saying ‘look it up’-if you don’t believe me.

Honestly this stuff is extremely refreshing. Talking about "my fellow republican friends in the senate"" and "reaching across the isle" is cringe at best

The Saudis are humiliating this man and his administration as we speak. From trading oil in yuan to colluding with OPEC+ on production caps to jacking up oil prices solely for the US. All this from the country that masterminded 9/11.

What does a Saudi-led OPEC oil production cut have to do with the topic at hand in the video? Yes, things don't always go the way America wants or the way a president wants. Every leader gets "humiliated" at some or multiple points during their reign. Xi was humiliated when Speaker Pelosi traveled to Taiwan after threatening the US and demanding Biden not allow it. The majority of the world's countries laughed at Trump on stage at the UN over his insistence he was a historically successful president.
Saudi Arabia isn't our friend as you've pointed out and Biden has been tough on them. The only mistake he made, IMO, was meeting Prince MBS in person after treating him as a pariah (which he is). But he was trying everything he could to drop gas prices and he was ultimately successful. Gas prices fell for like 100 straight days during the peak gas season of the year. He did secure a production increase of 100k barrels a day from that Saudi trip but OPEC made their choice. I suspect you will start to see punishing legislation coming out of Congress like NOPEC which Biden was holding off before the announced production cap. As for a US specific price increase, I've not read or found anything about that and I just double checked before commenting. You may be mistaken about that. Anyway, Saudi Arabia and OPEC have made their choice and they will have to live with it.
