Tribal thinking is a sign of lack of maturity. If you don't think being, "better than TFG." is a pathetic excuse for a party platform, you're either a child or utterly incompetent at governing, or both.
Similarly, if anyone assumes someone attacking Democrats, a center-right party, MUST be coming from the right ... they're painfully ignorant of politics in general.
Too bad this country is full of immature children that managed to reach adult age... Regardless of how bad the Dems are, they're still the only valid choice for someone making moral decisions. No, Biden is anything but perfect, but literally no one else can win that isn't outright evil ... partly because Democrats run a pathetic party and don't actually fight for democracy.
Yep. That's what makes it so downright abusive for them to dangle fascism over our heads like a threat if we don't get behind their milquetoast bullshit half-ass glad-handing fascists fuckery. They know we don't have a choice so they don't even fucking try.
The job of a US politician seems to be convincing their donors and constituents that they will protect each from the other.
Campaigning on policy that benefits the voters goes against the class interests of the donors, but campaigning on "the other guy is bad" keeps the donors happy.
"Not Trump" isn't a pathetic position, it's a smart one. There's plenty of Republicans that don't like Trump (See 43% Haley in NH yesterday), and getting into specifics will only remind them that "Not Trump" is a liberal commie Democrat.
If you want to know what Biden is running on other than that, you can find it here:

That's a nice list. Let's see what Democrats actually do in office.
Oh what's that? Sit on their hands and complain about how Republicans won't play nice?
Again, pathetic party.
That was a quick shift away from "Democrats don't have a platform"
They don't have a real platform. You have to fight for your positions, not give them up before anything is even in committee.
When they CONSTANTLY pretend Republicans are acting in good faith when they are not, how is someone with a functioning brain going to expect them to deal with reality? They cannot even see how they're being manipulated on the daily.
Democrats are useful idiots for Republicans. Little more.
Weird, I don't see record oil production there. Record as in more than any country to ever exist.
