Opinion: Biden is already letting us down

He’s snubbed Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, walked back promises about student debt, and appointed some disappointing members of staff. The way this is going, the president-elect could end up primaried in 2024

In a 2 party system, there will always be, and should be factions within those parties who have different levels of influence of policy. If each side is perfectly aligned, then there is definitely something wrong with that party, most likely a dictatorial kind of system.

Having things split totally along party lines should be a governance concern as your allegiance is meant to be towards your constituents first

To be fair, I'm happy with how it is turning out thus far in terms of Biden's selections. I don't want him to put crazy lefties in influential positions. If I had to choose I'd always be in favour of a Bill Clinton type Democrat than those in the AOC mould who I regard as an anathema to the American body politic.

Biden was never meant to do anything, title or no title... how did they put it, just stay alive, Democrats need little from the front-runner beyond his corporeal presence.... the people running things will be the hillary crowd under the guise of harris

‘Knives Out’ Exposes the Veiled Prejudice of Seemingly Nice People

Learning to understand my Trump-supporting family

Growing up, I was always comforted by the idea that my conservative family members weren’t that bad. Yes, they’d always voted Republican, but they were reasonable Republicans, the type that simply had a different way of understanding the world that led them to favor certain policies I disagreed with.

These were all valid concerns, ones I assumed were the foundations behind my family members’ conservative understanding of the world. It was shortly after watching Knives Out that I realized I’d been giving them way too much credit.

The razor-thin victory that delivered Latinas for Trump co-founder Ileana Garcia to the Florida Senate and ousted Democrat José Javier Rodríguez continues to raise eyebrows for one reason: a mysterious third candidate named Alex Rodriguez.

Alex Rodriguez, a one-time mechanic with no history in local politics, never started a campaign website, attended no candidate forums and received no donations, save for a $2,000 loan from himself. Mailers pitching his name sent to voters in the Coral Gables area were sent by a shadowy political group that, so far, has been untraceable.

When a television reporter recently tracked Alex Rodriguez down, he pretended to be someone else.

Alex Rodriguez’s candidacy appeared to exist for only one reason: to suck votes away from incumbent José Javier Rodríguez, who shares the same surname. The incumbent lost by just 34 votes, and he is now calling for an investigation into Alex Rodriguez — and whoever may have put him up to run.

Lol the Trumpets in the comments are so overjoyed, filled with new hope that these people will actually entertain the crazy conspiracy theories that Trump is pushing and even somehow get him a second term. :ROFL:

Guess we're gonna see them lose once again. Let's just hope the fails will be as funny as they were in this latest round. :ROFL:
