Joe Biden's Frantic Defense of the Status Quo [View all] BeckyDem Nov 2019 OP

If I, a regular citizen, said this, I would be laughed at and mocked for being naive and/or stupid. LonePirate Nov 2019 #1

So Biden Is The Same As Trump (Status Quo)? TomCADem Nov 2019 #2

Not stated nor implied but that is your take nevertheless. BeckyDem Nov 2019 #3

Trump is the status quote right now sweetloukillbot Nov 2019 #5

Nonsense. BeckyDem Nov 2019 #8

Headline is misleading WA-03 Democrat Nov 2019 #6

Apparently that's nonsense. sweetloukillbot Nov 2019 #21

The status quo is not IQ45; Agent Orange is a horrid, dangerous anomaly. Magoo48 Nov 2019 #72

You should look up the definition of status quo Hav Nov 2019 #102

Biden bashing is not hard to miss...and of course it appears as if your candidate Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #37

Agree!! Thekaspervote Nov 2019 #41

I wonder how many attacks Biden has endured from Trump, here and elsewhere? Yet Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #105

Biden showing everyday, that he can withstand Trump's attacks. Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #111

And Bernie surrogates' before he even entered and Harris's debate hit which MSM crowed emmaverybo Nov 2019 #118

I am also very proud and think some who search for attack articles and post vicious commentary Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #124

meaning the biden years SterlingPound Nov 2019 #14

Why not post something positive about your candidate of choice. Negative posting does nothing Thekaspervote Nov 2019 #44

because this is a thread about biden being for our failing status quo SterlingPound Nov 2019 #60

You mean like during the Obama years? Sorry most of us would kill to return to that time of sanity. Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #106

This is your opinion...and that's all it is...an opinion Thekaspervote Nov 2019 #46

Why not list bills Warren successfully passed during her time in the Senate...and perhaps you could Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #125

Biden didn't even invest with Wall Street when he as in the Senate, so as not to have Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #113

And you don't think your endless tongue in cheek negatives aren't bashing?? Really?? Thekaspervote Nov 2019 #79

Logical fallacies are better than crystal balls. LanternWaste Nov 2019 #87

Crystal ball? That's your term!! Thekaspervote Nov 2019 #98

The last couple days there were threads going after Warren, now today there are threads going after still_one Nov 2019 #10

Its called a primary. BeckyDem Nov 2019 #11

It's the disingenuousness sweetloukillbot Nov 2019 #24

Republicans are not going to work with Biden. BeckyDem Nov 2019 #27

Giving lip service to attempting does no harm sweetloukillbot Nov 2019 #38

You believe OP is equating Biden with Trump. BeckyDem Nov 2019 #52

Yes, and I also believe that you can't attack Biden for his time as VP without attacking Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #119

My comment stands on its own, I don't need to justify it still_one Nov 2019 #62

Which has no meaning in the context of the OP. BeckyDem Nov 2019 #64

There's a "new one" apparently BannonsLiver Nov 2019 #23

The New Republic USED to be worth it, and I subscribed; elleng Nov 2019 #12

Are you serious? BeckyDem Nov 2019 #13

You know I almost put on the hipwaders to get through that pile of crap Peacetrain Nov 2019 #17

Because you believe you are objective on Biden. BeckyDem Nov 2019 #20

Probably no more or less so than you are with Warren BannonsLiver Nov 2019 #26

lol BeckyDem Nov 2019 #30

I know right? BannonsLiver Nov 2019 #31

You are funny, yes. BeckyDem Nov 2019 #39

Keep pounding ... I'm sure you are changing a lot of voters minds!! Thekaspervote Nov 2019 #50

More people are now for Warren than Biden here at DU. BeckyDem Nov 2019 #56

The polls here on DU are far far from or reflect the nation and how they will vote Thekaspervote Nov 2019 #61

Alrighty then. BeckyDem Nov 2019 #67

No no no.. its "Alrighty Now".. don't make me lose faith in you Peacetrain Nov 2019 #71

Yes, I heard you the first time. BeckyDem Nov 2019 #76

Thank you! Thekaspervote Nov 2019 #80

You betcha!! Peacetrain Nov 2019 #146

The poll at DU does not reflect a number of polls in a number of states where Biden leads. That emmaverybo Nov 2019 #112

Funny how it is consistently been Biden supporters who say that. BeckyDem Nov 2019 #115

You can predict whatever you want. People may well change their minds. Right now Biden leads emmaverybo Nov 2019 #120

The polls. ok BeckyDem Nov 2019 #122

The point is that people are not changing their minds about Biden...maybe Warren. Is she slipping? Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #121

I think she has surprised a lot of people and will likely BeckyDem Nov 2019 #123

Warren needs to win Iowa and New Hampshire or come damn close...neither Sanders nor Biden have to Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #132

In the new HarrisX poll, yes. She has gone down to third place. Biden gained 4 points. Sanders emmaverybo Nov 2019 #126

I did NOT say that, but I don't have to subscribe when I think it lost its way, elleng Nov 2019 #32

In a divided Congress, Biden makes perfect sense. And this is not status quo. beastie boy Nov 2019 #25

Makes sense to his supporters. BeckyDem Nov 2019 #42

Yes and since he's the front runner with great poll numbers it makes sense to a lot of voters!! Thekaspervote Nov 2019 #54

Maybe, we'll see. BeckyDem Nov 2019 #58

Here's some eye popping numbers you should consider NYTsienna poll Thekaspervote Nov 2019 #73

Valid question. I believe it begins with not suggesting Trump's departure will equate BeckyDem Nov 2019 #104

do you think biden doesn't want to do that? Otto Lidenbrock Nov 2019 #109

I can't speak for why Biden has taken the issue of Republicans BeckyDem Nov 2019 #114

What do you mean Biden didn't fight hard for the public option? betsuni Nov 2019 #159

do we have a public option i dont know about? questionseverything Nov 2019 #168

Bingo! No one among the candidates is more steady than Joe. onetexan Nov 2019 #150

That about sums it up in my view. KPN Nov 2019 #108

Neither Warren nor Sanders are younger...they are both above 70. In fact Sanders is older than Biden Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #128

No, but they are supported by younger. Harris KPN Nov 2019 #152
