    But, the media sounds it’s like Joe Biden don’t have a friend in the world and Democrats are not engaged in the election.

      No ones excited and we’re in an era where excitement wins elections.

      And no shaming people for “not being excited” isn’t going to work either. Biden needs to give cause for people to show up to the election, and the fact that the vast majority of working class recognize that their needs are not being met by the current economy… welp. Biden’s got work to do.

        I’m not excited by Biden, I’m excited by Trump. Anything to make sure Trump loses again in November.

                More people were excited enough to vote, weren’t they. Unless I m8ss my guess, I’d say more than one person didn’t read the full string.

              I love how centrists scream that progressives don’t know how government works when we’re upset that centrists have once again blocked progressive legislation, then turn around and demonstrate that they don’t know how elections work.

                You know if you can’t keep up with the subject, you shouldn’t respond. I won’t attempt to explain it to you. Do better.

                  Unearned condescension is the closest centrists ever come to admitting when they’re wrong. Concession accepted.

      I don’t know anyone who likes Biden. I know people who are pleasantly surprised. I know people who would prefer anyone but Biden’s predecessor (me included)

        I don’t like Biden. That being said, he’s definitely exceeded my admittedly low expectations. The fact that he’s been able to get ANYTHING done with the GOP controlling the house and the barest majority possible in the Senate is impressive. I think he’s easier to push left than I expected and has generally surrounded himself with reasonable people. Having to compare Biden to Trump is absurd. There’s nothing that comes close to making Biden a worse choice.

          Oh, 100%. I would rather be disappointed in Biden than horrified at Trump.

          That being said, I’d prefer someone else.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The League of Conservation Voters, a leading climate organization that is among the biggest spenders on progressive causes, announced its plans for backing Mr. Biden on Tuesday, at a moment when his Republican challenger, former President Donald J. Trump, is struggling to raise funds.

    “We will be communicating with voters in the battleground states and in the key races about the stakes, why President Biden has been such a champ on climate change and the obvious and extreme peril of having Donald Trump and his MAGA acolytes and big oil pleasers back in office for another four years.”

    Nor does the $1 billion account for an expected influx in the tens of millions — if not more — from organizations that support Democrats including Planned Parenthood, and the political groups backed by Michael R. Bloomberg, the billionaire former New York mayor.

    Mr. Biden’s campaign announced on Sunday that it, along with the Democratic National Committee and affiliated fund-raising organizations, entered March with $155 million in cash on hand.

    “These are real and meaningful investments that we expect will go to reaching the voters who will decide this election, while Donald Trump and a cash-strapped Republican Party continue to show zero interest or ability to build a winning coalition,” said Julie Chavez Rodriguez, Mr. Biden’s campaign manager.

    Ms. Muller said the enormous expenditures by outside groups could, if Mr. Biden is re-elected with Democratic majorities in Congress, lead to long-sought limits on the flow of such large sums into the American political ecosystem.

    After an article about how Repub donors aren’t there for Cheetoh-man, this seems pretty noteworthy.

    Not that I like Biden. He can’t stop sucking Israel’s cock long enough to notice that innocent people are dying. He only notices that their deaths seem to hurt his chances of getting elected. Shithead.

        No Biden just magically finds wads of cash, even more than last time when he had to beat incumbent Trump.
