    not codifying RvW as promised, not protecting voter rights, not protecting civil liberties…

    Conservatives (including Manchin and Sinema) stopped all of that. I hate the Dem party and despise neoliberals (AKA the other conservatives), but conservatives are fully to blame for those specific issues.

        You don’t get a choice where you get a progressive instead of Manchin. You get Manchin or a far right Republican. I voted for Manchin, for the same reason I voted for Clinton and Biden - they might suck, but holy shit is the alternative WORSE.

      You’re right. They’re fascists doing fascist things.

      So what’s *Biden *done about it? what action has he successfully taken against the erosion of rights americans used to enjoy?

      Don’t sit there and tell me POTUS is totally powerless to do anything. He’s not. we both know he’s not. even with a divided congress half of which is totally obstructionist, Biden is not powerless.

        This thread is about AOC. You forgot which Democratic party figure you were supposed to be railing on in this thread.

        I hope you understand that it will be reflected on your next performance review.

          for the record, I think I must have replied to the wrong thing in my notifications. deleted my comment. (however, I do stand by my criticism of Biden. AoC on the other hand would be freaking phenomenal.)

          (by the way. not a fucking bot. might want to hone that paranoia of yours.)

            You still seem confused about who you’re replying to, because while I don’t remember what this discussion was about, I can tell you for sure that I never accused you of being a bot.
