In reply to the discussion: Okay, who agrees with Biden's idea that there will be a Republican "epiphany" if Dem wins. (poll) [View all]Celerity
(53,332 posts)The only way the Rethugs will move at all will be to take 6 steps further right, demand the Dems meet them halfway (so 3 steps rightward) then, after we foolishly do that, take one further rightward step and say, one more Dems and its a deal.
If we start trying to make 'comprehensive reforms' with them, the country will go full-blown corporatist oligarchy. It is a recipe for decades of disaster. Banksters and defence contractors, de-regulators and austerity ghouls gone wild.
Biden is delusional if he thinks he will get a fair shake out of McConnell and the rest of the RW. They have nothing but corpo-grift and rapacious erosion of any and all social welfare state underpinnings on their rotten little mind. They also will be 100% invested in destroying Biden so they can ramrod Tom Cotton or some other madman down the nation's throat in 2024.
The only hope we have is to take the Senate as well, and with Bullock (MT), Hickenlooper (CO), Susan Rice (ME), Abrams (GA), Beto/Joaquin Castro (TX) all saying no to Schumer and Cortez Masto that possibility is rapidly diminishing.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
