Man, I hope this doesn't come across as me sounding like a doomer, but it's too late. That one rant has most certainly radicalized so much of his audience. A temporary band isn't going to do anything to fix the damage that he's caused.

It's not offensive to a country. It's offensive to a group of people, particularly dark-skinned people. It is a form of mockery. Unless you're trying to tell me that the Dutch people who partake in blackface aren't doing it to mock black and dark skin people. If that's the case, please educate me

I'm not saying that the examples for your point don't exist, but it feels like every time they do this it bites them in the ass super hard. These moves alienate people and are a great way to kill energy on the left. Unless we're just saying that left-most voters don't matter again.

Unless you're wealthy, you probably not. If anything, they'll probably go up for all the money they're not taking from the wealthy

And I will remain blind to them. America is about to live in the context of the Coconut Lady. (I will support whoever gets the nomination at the end of the DNC.)

All the way up until this past Friday I was certain he was going to hold on with a feeble death grip until the very end. While I'm extremely excited about this, I hope that liberals leftists and everyone left of center realizes, now that he's out, you absolutely have to support Kamala. She may be a cop, and all cops are bastards. But we can save the criticisms until after we've blocked the hyper fascists

So you haven't observed any of her work as White House press Secretary, and the only argument that you can make against her is to invalidate her credentials and education? But hey, if they hired a woman that means that there must have been someone more qualified that they overlooked. There's absolutely no way or any reason a black queer woman could ever get into that position on merit /s

That being said, I'm not saying that she shouldn't be subject to criticism, but why not compare her performance to that of previous Democrat administrations?

Why would he drop out? His racist and nonsensical ramblings are what Republicans/conservatives/the wealthy and his base want. It's leftist and some liberals who don't want that. Which is why there are calls for Biden to drop out. That's not complicated. I barely even understand how this is a question

I'm not talking about messaging to the average voter. These articles are directed at leftist and leftist communities.

Why is it every single day I'm being inundated with posts of "biden's not that bad" "if you don't vote for Biden you'll get Trump" Wouldn't the messaging be much better if it was "Hey, you may not like Biden, but it's easier to form progressive coalitions under liberal governments" stop trying to make him look good. He's still a genocide enabler, much like every other president would be, I can admit that. Liberals really need to give up on getting people to like him.
