    Well that’s unfortunate. Wish we could find someone other than an old fucking white guy to represent us.

      The fact that someone like Biden and Bernie exist in the same party tells you how awful the 2-party system is.

          Too be fair - the Biden administration isn’t all bad and I think when they do something good we should acknowledge that so that maybe they keep doing good things. That doesn’t mean I don’t think there are better options, though.

            You can hope for better options, but it says something that the Progressive leadership doesn’t see a reason to challenge Biden in the primaries. And as some didn’t like hearing, the Progressive leadership has found Biden to be an ally in passing significant legislation. The problem of moving forward isn’t the Presidency, but Congress.

              I wish more people understood that. Biden might be centrist, but every single progressive policy that has come his way he has endorsed. He would go even farther to the left if we had the right Congress.

      For real. Even as a white guy, I’m tired of this shit as well. Wish we could get someone younger and more progressive on the ballot. It’s time to get those old ducks out of office. They have no grasp on how shit really works these days.

      I’m hoping for Newsom 2028. In the meantime, Biden will probably be infinitely better than the alternative in the general election.
