Republicans extreme. Talk about extermination of who groups.
Democratic extreme: Can you do away with student loan debt.

Alt-right Joe Biden

But Biden is a far-left extremist commie!!! How could he do this?

Can we do away with America?

Establishment Democrats are weak, spinless enablers and appeasers of fascism who put more effort fighting "extremist" progressives than they do fascist Republicans.

I mean he's right. Hate is a terrible thing.

I was wrong. Biden is right. Every sign day he shows how he and the other centrist are no better than Republicans.

Even if there are extremists, are they passing laws? Do they have a large platform? Or are they some weirdos on Reddit or something?

Alt-right icon Joe Biden

"I hate people who want to kill me" is not an irrational position.

I knew he was using reddit to cheat.

Ever since people were making jokes about dark Brandon slaying, I instantly knew reddit was involved

You've read one comment too far, sleepy joe!

Biden is still a conservative Democrat. He doesn't like people like Bernie and AOC

Oh, no. You mean one side isn't made up exclusively of demons and the other isn't made up exclusively of saints?

No, but one side's polticians are full of hateful fascists and the other's is full of a bunch of worthless jackasses who get stomped all over by them.

Biden is speaking the truth though not many want to hear it.

The majority of Republicans will continue to hate him blindly and many will make up lies to justify it. (Yes, the leader of the free world is totally a pedophile with a blood-drinking cult and lizard people for butlers. Uh-huh.) And a lot of Democrats want to believe that politics is as black and white as it could possibly be with no accountability necessary on their side. Don't get me wrong, the current state of the Republican party is fucked up. But if you think you can use "at least I'm not a Nazi" as a justifier for anything and everything, you're probably a little fucked up yourself.

Edit: This post was not in response to any post. It's just a general statement.

Biden finally making sense

On one hand, social justice and purity tests and group think.

On the other hand, pining for theocracy and irony poisoning and elimination of rights for outgroups and some wanting to exterminate like 15% of the population because fear, ignorance and laser guided misanthropy... and group think.

So really, when you look at it, both sides.

A liberal is a man too broad-minded to take his own side in a fight.

This criticism of Biden is exactly why I think the most vocal progressives are poisonous to the well-being of the Democratic party. It's completely normal for the President, who is supposed to be the leader of every citizen of this country, to show understanding that good people can come from any demographic of society. It's not like he was just trying to dismiss a travesty so don't analogize this with Trump's speech about Charlottesville... please for fuck's sake.

I'm not a centrist. I've just had enough of the dialogue among left-leaning people becoming deluded as to the mainstream mindset of this country.

I don't agree that the extremes of the Democratic party are as bad as the extremes of the Republican party so I could absolutely take issue with that part of the statement. Still, to make such a fuss over that is overly nit-picky and tears the left apart more than it helps advance liberal causes in this country.

I think the president painting his party as too extreme does more harm to those causes than internet comments.

This is literally both siding, just like Trump. There are literal Neo-Nazis at the doorsteps and he is a complaining about people want everyone to get free health care. All this did was hurt dems.

Sure, Republicans are a bunch of fascists who would gladly have the rich rule the world even more and have various minorities rounded up and murdered, but the left can be a bit rude at times. Same thing both sides.

Worse than spineless, they find a spine only when they need to stamp their foot down on progressives while not actually punishing alt right stochastic terrorism. And also, telling us to meet them midway is ridiculous when the right keeps shifting further and further right so midway keeps sliding into worse territory every step of the way.

He was acknowledging that both parties can consist of people that take their party's position way too far. Whether he's talking about any domestic terrorist who would use Democratic causes to justify their actions (just as we all know they use Republican causes to justify) or AOC/Bernie, I couldn't really say for sure from just a tweet, but I have feeling he's getting more at the former category. Maybe in hopes Republicans can take some accountability for their own. Is he misguided? I can see an argument for that. But to just jump on him over this is gross.

Yall want Dark Brandon back?

What domestic terrorist is using democratic causes to justify their actions? Cause I've seen plenty of domestic terrorists that committed bombings and mass shootings that had manifestos espousing right wing talking points but I've never seen a spree shooter saying they were murdering a bunch of people because we don't have free healthcare.

AOC And Bernie: We need to have health care for all.
Minn Dems: Kids should have free Lunch.
People at CPAC: Eradicate Transgender people.
SC Republicans: Send Women who have abortions to the firing squad .

They are so much alike .

He's a idiotic piece of shit and Democrats continue to live in the delusion of common ground when the literal other side of the aisle in Congress thinks they and "their" minorities need to be exterminated to save America and Christianity.

In the real world, the right's extremists are half of Congress and half of our state legislatures. The left's extremists? Some protesters and idiots on social media, who the Democrats will fight harder against than they will their fascist opponents in office. You almost have to wonder if they're all in cahoots.

It's less about appeasing the fascists, and more about appeasing the "centrists" who are too scared to call themselves fascists but say things like "You know say what you will about him, Hitler did have some good ideas" and keep getting cancelled by leftists who don't approve of fascists.

It supposedly started with Clinton pushing the Democrats hard to the right from their original leftist policies because communists and hippies where too icky to win elections anymore.

I'm not going to go digging for stories because the ones I read are usually the same ones people here are seeing. My point was hypothetical and to deny these people exist in some capacity is rather ignorant in itself, but the environmentalists destroying artwork (the cause I think should be the leading voting issue for everybody) damages the image of the left in the global eye, although I do like that it at least confronts people with the underlying issue itself I'll admit. Obviously that's on a global scale and not a domestic one but it's the only one I can think of right now without googling to see what dirt I can find about the party I favor.

Again, I don't think he was getting at AOC / Bernie or even the Democrats of Minnesota, but maybe I'm missing something here. If you want an actual political example, how about California's policies regarding the prosecution of theft under a certain amount? I don't think most states would like to see that become the norm. But even then, I don't think that's what Biden was getting at with his very broad terminology.

Man, I don't even know what world you're on but you already said "Fuck Joe Biden and fuck the Democratic Party" so you'll just have the understand that the other posters have kept me busy enough to try to decipher what points you're trying to make.

So the thing where people have been protesting and literally murdered by police. And the people have been lying about what happened to the protesters ? That thing. The thing where random people in block "attacked" the police. And the only people police saw fit to arrest where hippies at a picnic that had nothing to do with it.

So the best thing that have to show the extreme left. Just shows how horrible the police are, the group that Biden wants more of?
