    A democratic pollster interviewed on NPR repeated a great quote from a focus group participant: “My hood didn’t get any better under obama, or any worse under trump. What’s biden got to do with me?”

      I dunno. Maybe the hood got some infrastructure. Probably not but they came closer than any time since the 70s.

        I dunno if ‘you came closer to being helped then ever before’ is a very persuasive argument, but without knowing where they were it’s just like, an opinion man.

      How about quoting how evil Biden is from the mouth of his biggest haters regarding equity.

      Biden has been an adamant supporter of the vile act of abortion. Earlier this month, he stated that he would make Roe v. Wade “the law of the land,” which would guarantee that the practice of abortion would stay legal for years to come.

      Furthermore, Biden’s stance on Obamacare further reflects his desire for all demographics to rely on the government for their well-being. Biden’s plan for Black Americans includes expanding Obamacare to address the “systematic racism” within healthcare. Many agree that expanding Obamacare will assist in improving the health care situation for Black Americans.

      Biden further upholds socialist thinking in other areas as well:

      • The Green New Deal

      • Racial Equity

      • Economic Reform

      In each of these areas, Biden relies on the government to fix the problem by redistribution of funds from one area to another.

      Joe Biden doesn’t call what he’s doing “socialism” because he knows it would be unpopular. Democrats and their media partners also reject that moniker, noting that socialism has historically been defined as collective ownership (usually spearheaded by the government) of the means of production. And that’s not what Democrats are doing.

      How about just straight up facts instead?

      If Mr Biden returns to the White House for a second term but Republicans retain control of the House or gain the Senate, or potentially both, advisers say that his focus would be on defending his legislative accomplishments. Although Republicans would be unable to overturn his investment packages if they did not hold the presidency, they could chip away at them.

        Because biden’s not evil, evil is silly concept and I prefer not to quote crazy people?

        I’m honestly not sure what your point is. Are you trying to say biden’s actually an evil socialist, or a that he’s really doing the good work of socialism by stealth? Cause both of those arguments seem quite outlandish.

              It’s exactly as they described by pointing out what Biden has done for the little guy lol. Which are good things.

              Hard to fuck up not saying he’s pushed a socialist agenda when both Bernie and AOC were Dick riding and nearly all his executive orders were mainstream issues for them.
