Everything but Biden.

Thank God the Daily Boulder is covering this.

Do a poll asking Americans their political alignment and the balance will be center right. Poll them again on specific issues and the average end up well to the left of the Democratic party. For a prime example, look at how all the abortion referendums have turned out in red states.

Applicability of the 2nd amendment is highly selective. All it took for Reagan to push through gun control in California was the Black Panthers arming themselves.

The whole plot of the Captain America Civil War movie was built on the impact of collateral damage. For another franchise, The Watchmen movie was full of super hero atrocities and even the destruction of entire cities.

There is no dropoff of EV purchases, just Teslas, and just barely. One contributor to that is that there is a wait-list. A bigger contributor is that being associated with Elon isn't as cool as it once was.

The more despicable Trump is proven to be, the more pathetic she looks for losing to him.

For thousands of years we shit and drank from the same rivers. That wasn't the most dangerous thing around either, but I'm kinda glad we stopped that too.

I'm not a tankie, and it's not a good thing, but this isn't exactly a great time for the US to puff it's chest out about our right to protest and protections for whistle blowers.

I wonder which half.

This is an extremely common trope from establishment Democrats who like to pretend the left is just naive children. Let me make this perfectly clear to you. Yes, we get politics. Yes, we understand that Biden can't get everything he wants. Yes, we get that Republican obstruction is a thing.

Now, here are some things for you to try and grasp. Most of the time, Biden and the Democratic establishment is leading the opposition against the left. The establishment also plays dirty to get their unpopular candidates past the primary, then blames the left when they lose in the general.

It's not generally the politically active left that doesn't vote blue. Most of us are well practiced at holding our noses at the ballot box. It's normal non-political Americans who see no point in getting engaged when neither party even speaks to their problems.
