          Useless? Why? Because they are choosing party unity to prevent the country falling into the hands of a fascist criminal?

          Give me a break. I don’t like Biden one bit, but NO ONE was going to dethrone him in a primary, so it’s better that they go into this with a united front.

            i mean sure, but that doesn’t mean it’s not depressing that BIDEN is the most progressive we’re allowed to be until january 2029

              Biden is the most progressive we’re ever gonna have until something is done about Congress (specifically the Senate) and House representation re: the Apportionment act and gerrymandering.

              As long as it still takes Dems 60%+ of the vote to get a bare majority in Congress, it’s not going to get any better.

            Useless is useless. Only reason we were for him was to fight against the blues to push for real change.

            Instead he gives in to the DNS/Biden/Obama democrats and demolishes the grassroots movement many of us put a lot of time to help build.

            He is now just another politician pushing for the lesser of two evils spiel.

        That’s way too harsh. Pete is an opportunist, and opts for politics over principle to a degree that made me dislike him in the last primary… but he’s not incompetent.

          Have you seen what he has done with the airlines and train disasters?

          Did you miss all the news going on with airlines/trains?

          He is incompetent and just like any other politician with no real values, just like all the democrats and republicans.

          They give in to the fame and the wealthy class.

            Sorry, what do you think a transportation secretary does? Do you think he’s an air traffic controller?
