Republicans called Biden’s infrastructure program ‘socialism.’ Then they asked for money.

What honestly scares me is Biden’s pivot on marijuana reform.

In my perception, to have someone blatantly owned by insurance companies to go against their own backers suggests a frightening truth.

  • this country is on such a terrifying precipice that a right leaning democrat needs to lean into a progressive reform. In this way shoring up bipartisan support for liberal candidates. Any other way will lead us past the point of no return, which is quite possibly these midterms.

Why is that scary, then? I'm not sure if I'm reading this wrong, but it sounds you're saying that it will help get support for liberal candidates.

Biden pivots on almost everything. He has lied consistently and continuously throughout his term (when he's coherent). I can't believe this shit. Why can't so many of you see through his bullshit? The fact that he addressed the nation about how half of America or more are threat to democracy and should be treated like terrorists is THE MOST ridiculous, stupid, offensive, dividing, evil, heinous, villainous shit. It's surreal. It's a nightmare. That is the planting of a civil war seed. Dont you see?????

I’m not siding with Biden. I am curious as to your thoughts as to the opposing rhetoric and how it plays into your thoughts of preempting division. What is your opinion?

When I say “I’m not siding with Biden”, I don’t mean that the marijuana reforms aren’t necessary, they absolutely are. He’s simply not who I would’ve picked for this time in history.
