Smirking Chimp blog: Democrats need to stop self-cutting
(Poster's note: I am NOT, repeat, NOT posting this as a rebuke of DU or anything like that. It's just a good article I saw and mostly it applies to blue check cosplay libs in the social media universe, not here, so don't drag me. Thank you).
One year now, were observing the Inflation Reduction Act. But we all know what it is besides that. Its Build Back Better snipped. And thats okay, thats what we could get, and what we got is gorgeous. There is lots of clean energy things in it. Things that will build our economy long term. Prescription drug reform. IRS tax enforcement. Its already doing what it says on the tin: US inflation has beaten it everywhere in the world. Yes, buttholes: Biden did that. Bidenomics is working, though Im with Randi Rhodes, I like the Biden Boom better. Its more satisfying. Boom.
But back to the original question: Why do Democrats and/or Progressives shit all over the idea of Biden/Harris running for reelection? It makes no sense. I suspect its largely a fear of 2016, happening again. But I keep trying to explain that 2016 was a red herring. It will not happen again in 2024. Trump wont win again. Its just not going to happen.
