I don’t think this analysis is 100 percent accurate but I agree with most of it.

Now would be a good time to be collabing with Biden on adopting various virus related policy ideas. The thought of dems winning the senate and having Bernie and Warren heavily influencing a Biden admin's first stimulus bill should have liberals wet. You won't get everything you want (I'm assuming dems won't be close to 60 votes) but a dem house, president, and senate would get most of what they want in this situation.

I'm not sure who Biden is intellectually. He's never struck me as smart or thoughtful on policy, and instead kinda just existed in the senate. On foreign policy he was more intellectual but often wrong (Iraq). I'm not shytting on him, I'm gonna vote for him with zero reservations...but my point is that he is a president who can be molded by the legislative branch. Similar to Trump in the sense that he'll have his pet policies and directives here or there but I don't see Biden being a major obstacle to short term change. He's gonna have to come out the gate swinging in those first 100 days, and that means a major stimulus bill and beefing up Obamacare (return full funding, public option, etc). I'd imagine those things will consume his first term, but maybe he moves on free community college and infrastructure. A lot of spending. Driven by Pelosi in the House, with the opportunity for Warren and Sanders to dominate influence in the senate.

If you're a leftist that should be your main interest right now. Win as many seats in the House or senate as you can and start going to work, because Biden's time is gonna be forced entirely on fixing this mess and getting re-elected...which means spending a LOT of money.

If Dems win the Senate, then Justice Breyer and Ginsburg gotta retire immediately after the 2020-21 term.

Biden and Bernie have talked about putting a black woman on SCOTUS. And with the filibuster for judicial nominees nuked by Reid and for SCOTUS by McConnell, 51 votes is all you need

Wow. Rogan said he'd vote for TRUMP over Biden :dead:


1:15:01



ERIC WEINSTEIN: I think that in general people, when they are given no choice at all, express themselves moronically.

JOE ROGAN: When they are given no choice at all — How so?

WEINSTEIN: I want a choice of an actual president that’s viable. I don’t have one. Now you’re going to ask me which of the none-viable people do I like best?

ROGAN: This is the real issue with the Democratic Party. They’ve essential made us all morons with this Joe Biden thing.

WEINSTEIN: Can you imagine?

ROGAN: I can’t vote for that guy.

WEINSTEIN: I can’t vote for him, I can’t vote for Trump

ROGAN: I’d rather vote for Trump than him. I don’t think [Biden] can handle anything. He’d be entirely relying on his cabinet. If you want to talk about an individual leader who can communicate, he can’t do that. And we don’t know what the fukk he’ll be like after a year in office. The pressure of being President of the United States is something than no one has ever prepared for. The only one who seems to be fine with it is Trump, oddly enough. He doesn’t seem to be aging at all or in any sort of decline. Obama, almost immediately, started looking older. George W. [Bush], almost immediately, started looking older.

AOC was right :whoo:

Yea which is good (or bad, depending on who is president). I'm talking about the legislation super majority requirement though. Biden doesn't seem like he's gonna break it. Both him and Bernie have said they don't want to get rid of the filibuster.
