The Democratic Party’s propping up an obviously declining Joe Biden is one of the greatest political disasters in American history.

Once again. Best president of my lifetimes (comparison is based on actual presidents we had in office. Not ficticious ideal ones). No disaster here to me. kamala was fine mainly because she came out of that decent administration and biden did well partially from his experience in the obama admin (he knew republicans had 0 sincerity). Further kamala's vp was an awesome pick. Im sorry some idiots voted for trump and others did not vote. I remember all the complaints about gore but wow I still can't imagine what we would have been like without 911 and a stronger paris accord.

It's not the democrats who need to learn this lesson, it's voters. We all need to learn that the democrats and the republicans are two parts of one entity, and their priority is to the status quo and the protection of capital. The people's needs are in direct conflict with the corporations needs to make as much money as possible. Which makes "left" and "right" voters allies, they can't have that so they divide us with culture war in the hopes that we won't see this.

We're not going to vote our way out of this.

Umm isn't the GOP "propping up an obviously declining" wannabe dictator?!? Sure looked that way last time I checked. And didn't the Dems do the ol' switcheroo, and run Kamala Harris? I'm really surprised that this is coming from Jacobin. wtf? Did I switch timelines?

The way the republicans learned off the first Trump disaster, it is generally high expectations to have to the voters.
