When there's a choice between a Republican, and a Republican-light, people will choose Republican.

The Harris/Biden ticket has repeatedly said they are committed to doing nothing. The critical line from George was that Obama care let's people buy insurance. Buy it with what? They just did a video saying that 90% of businesses that have closed are closing permanently. Nancy wants to fund cobra payments, but how are you going to pay the deductible if you have no job.

Nothing like a person that worked for the Clinton administration monitoring a debate

[deljs]

Lol I'm a white 53 year old independent and I voted for Bernie 😂

[tommyknocker]

I must admit listening to Saagar laughing in the background makes my day!

I implore you, listen to The Intercept podcast episode “We Need To Talk About Joe, ”
where Jeremy Scahilll discusses Biden’s horrendous foreign policy and racist crime bills.
TLDR: Biden basically wrote The Patriot Act.

To quote Noam Chomsky “People would rather vote for something rather than nothing”

[AQuietNight]

Every time you hear "Joe Biden" you should replace his name with "Kamala Harris".

[mattsmitchger]

Republicans gonna vote Republican. Period. And Demexit is real.

[jayboegs]

Biden is a Republican at heart and in the record.

[sawyer]

I'd like to see Joe Biden go on a question show with a right wing moderator. Biden and Trump, two sides of the same doesn't-get-my-vote coin.

Howie Hawkins, Alyson Kennedy, Jo Jorgensen, Mark Charles, Joseph Kishore, Steve Saylor, Don Blankenship, and Gloria la Rivas are also presidential candidates.

"She worries that [Biden] might successfully get back into the Obama era Iran deal, which was actually one of the brightest spots of that presidency." I'm an independent that's been watching The Hill but that's honestly the stupidest thing Krystal Ball have ever said. The awful, atrocious Iran deal was one of the several factors I went from Democrat to independent. What a stupid comment.

[christineherrmann]

All this tells me is everyone was terrified of Bernie.

[lighthouse]

Can't believe Crystal is pretending that the Iran deal was a good thing

[anon]

How can you characterize anyone that is pro-war as "moderate"?

[GalacticNewsNetwork]

I got my marshmallows ready
So I can make s’mores while
The country burns 🔥🤷‍♂️🚶🚶🚶

[tjmul]

Krystal: Why are these ”centrist” democrats SO obsessed with moderate republicans?!?

Me: do you tell them apart?

Corporate dems ARE moderate republicans, my dear lady. It’s as simple as that.

[areascoda]

Biden’s recent ads on this “disenchanted 2016 trump voter” thing are just awful and I don’t think they will work

[gevdarg]

Imagine that...you can't take people for granted, except that has been the Democratic Party's stated and successful strategy for over 30 years now.
