President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

This might belong in the COVID thread. I was listening to NPR's story about the health care crisis in Alaska. The doctor they interviewed said they are sending people away to die in order to treat COVID cases. He added that it was so preventable and yet it's still costing lives.

I had two thoughts, neither of which were particularly charitable:

1.) These are probably the same people who screamed about "death panels" a few years ago and now they're benefitting from them.

b.) If this was happening in a Third World country, we'd be getting out the baby blue helmets and dragging the leaders who aided and abetted this to an international tribunal.

 

They're moving to a PAC with a different name that Corey Lewandowski hasn't had anything to do with. That's what's up.

Stupidass name though, geez.

 

Probably not. Mandel isn't really that well-liked. Lost to Brown rather handily in 2012, flamed out trying to run in 2018. Jane Timken, former state GOP chair, seems to be the frontrunner.

 

Come on, man. There are a few more nice pockets...

The Dems can talk about not wanting to alienate moderate voters, but I really don't think their poll numbers would be tanking any worse if they went full on Squad and acted boldly. The tip-toeing act isn't really satisfying anyone. And yeah, I was thinking Afghanistan would be a blip, but Biden's inability to get the ball over the goal line on infrastructure isn't a good look.
