Joe Bidens numbers have been dropping lately. When most democratic contester were gathered in California last week, he chooses to not be there. He also chooses to not make many rallies, and the ones he has done is pretty small.
Joe Biden has a lot to answer for, and its gonna be downhill for him from now I think (and hope).
Joe Biden is in a shitstorm right now, having to flip flop on issues, and there will be more in the near future.

He is also being attacked from the right (yeah, you heard me) on the crime bill

Biden is a terrible candidate, far more right-leaning than Clinton, and look how that went down :!:

The really good news is that when Joe Biden tanks in the polls, it's my bet that Sanders will win most of those votes. It's pretty exciting, going forward, girls n boys ;)

On the other side, the side where most Americans are right now, we have excitement and HOPE for things to change.

Nah, it will not be Biden. I think Biden will be gone when the Iowa caucus does not go the way he is hoping. Let's face it, he is a quitter, and do not have the courage or endurance necessary to become the nominee.

Hereā€™s the thing weā€™re all gonna have to contend with- letā€™s say Bernie wins the presidency. Thereā€™s a decent chance he will. What will follow is a complete and total capital strike, wherein the business interests in pharmaceuticals, energy, weapons, and agribusiness will immediately unite with republicans and pro-business democrats to brutally oppose any attempt Bernie might make to get free healthcare or free college or to tax the rich in any meaningful way. Hell, if he actually gets anywhere close to winning serious reforms, I have no doubt they will try to kill him.

Look up what happened to Allende in Chile in the 1970s. He was elected as a socialist but he was quite moderate, he just wanted things like free lunches for kids and to control the mining industries in the country for the good of the people. He wasnā€™t doing a cultural revolution or anything. The US and Chilean business interests immediately created a military coup, killed him, and executed something like 15,000 of his socialist supporters, and completely reversed his reforms.

Now, if big business wonā€™t let them get away with socialist reforms in Chile, do you really think theyā€™ll let you vote them in in the USA?

So my question for you Bernie crats is, are you ready for the reactionary backlash? Is the base radical enough to crush the capital strike?

Are you prepared to go to war the day after Bernie is sworn in?

Gommunism is a stage of guckery in which the produgtive infrustrugture runs away from gommie country, and no goods are produced and beeple starve. XDDDD

Gommunism in full form is obressive, statist society dat follows maxim "gib gib gib!" :DDDD

To achieve gommunism we must replace broduction with murderous obressive rulers liek me, fug working glass beeple. XDDDD Struggle while I liquidate you all lol. When capitalists run away we win and I kill you all. Eventually the functions of state cease and state becomes murderous and indistinguishable from other gommies. Da state withers away liek da people.

Da sdages of gommunism.

>Sdage one
Bourgers aren't allowed to vode :DDD but otherwise da system is digtadorshib of gommies. Everything is stole by digtadors and digtadors rule all.

>Sdade two
Withering
All beeple who aren't digtador glass starve. XDDD Once glass disabears and we steal everything more beeple wither away. Bolice begome unnecessary as beeple are dead lol :DDDDD Central blanning begomes unnecessary begause sgarcity caused starving. Money is all ours.

>Sdage three
Gommunism.
No beeple. No food. My money. Much benis.

>Sdage four
Nod real gommunism. Move on to nexd goundry :DDDDDDD

I don't want to send the topic on another tangent, but this is really worth mentioning.

This is related to the earlier discussion on whether reverse discrimination exists. This USA academic, Camille Paglia, has wrote some books on art issues, in which "he" dismisses a great deal of tenets upheld by the feminist/PC "Nazi" regime from the US academia. So, they are now trying to catapult her out of her academic position:

Article about the whole issue (it's long but you can still get an idea even if you read the first third of it):
https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archi ... rm/587125/

Petition launched by the snowflake zoomers who want her out of the academia, just because "his" opinions hurt their feelings:
https://www.change.org/p/uarts-presiden ... al-assault

What are their demands? This one is the funniest:
Here is what we demand of UArts:
1) Camille Paglia should be removed from UArts faculty and replaced by a queer person of color.
No reason whatsoever was offered for why a person with those qualities would be better qualified to teach at this university. Why not just hold a contest and appoint the best qualified professor?

But well, reason is too much too ask from the typical, rabid PC crowd.

He will prolly not be, too much baggage, and he will quit if it's not ez. As I said, Biden is not a long distance runner, and he has proven that 3 times before. :idea:

I think you are drawing the status quo here. Nothing new to that picture. The new thing is when the corporations and the Government ties are no longer gonna cut it. And when the polecies will be made by the public, for the public, as it should be. That will bring change.
Get smart dude :idea:
