PinkSlimeIsPeople comments on Biden: There is a place for Haley supporters in my campaign

Message: going to once again shift to the right and ignore the left. Has anyone actually seen Nicki Haley's policy stances? They are almost as bad as Trump's, but let's just ignore that and pretend adopting those policies is the only way to win the general election

He never said he was going to adopt her policies, he said there's a lot they won't agree on EXCEPT rule of law, American democracy, standing with NATO. Are those 3 things too right wing for you? Jesus Christ read the shit he says before you start bitching.

Why did I even bother clicking the link. The people who dwell in that shitheap sub are hopeless.

Do they realize that they're literally a parody of themselves?

They get so desperate

Actively calling for codifying abortion protections

Oh thank fuck he's not merely calling for them. Good thing he's actively calling for them. What if he actually did them.

Same shit for the weed. Oh he's pushing baby that's why it's no better then ever

Very good move by Biden. It’s almost like the guy who’s been forming political relationships for 50 years is good at this stuff.

Wouldn’t know it if you only listened to progressive media.

I am begging and pleading for a list of these progressive media outlets.

What Russian propaganda? Joe himself is a Zionist. He’s been pretty open about that.

What the fuck lmao, go to bed grandpa. When Joe calls himself a zionist it's a very different meaning than what reddit thinks that means.

Why do people keep saying things without explaining themselves screm-aaaaa HOW THE FUCK DOES HE MEAN IT AND HOW DO YOU THINK REDDIT MEANS IT

Because Biden is the most centrist candidate in modern history.

Love reading about leftists willing to ruin American democracy because they think Biden is a “centrist.”

(another comment) His voting record was squarely in the center of the Democratic party, not the country as a whole, which means his voting record was roughly more liberal/progressive than 2/3-3/4 of the rest of the country. His Presidential term has been the most progressive in a 100 years

Genuinely unhinged.

I kind of love it when the libs try to outcompete each other with their "it's complicated sweaty" dogshit takes. It's like watching children playing pretend, except more smug.

It's not about left wing or right wing. Its more than policy. It's about democracy versus dictatorship

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 10 points 8 months ago

I thought that was unironic libspeak for a sec. Well to be honest - more than a second.

Ninja edit: In fact - is that actually a quotation from the thread?

[-] FuckyWucky@hexbear.net 14 points 8 months ago

Yea having Mrs. Austerity supporters is a great idea

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 11 points 8 months ago

I'm just going to say, 90+% of voters can't tell you the policies of any candidate, included who they vote for. I don't think this has to shift him right. It just indicates he's going to cater to them in appearance, but they wouldn't notice if he adopted her policies or not.

That said, the democratic party does have a tendency to shift right no matter what, so it probably does mean he'll shift right on some things at least, as if he wasn't far enough right already.
