Biden calls for unity, but some fellow Democrats contradict message with spite toward Trump supporters
The message of unity in the president-elect's victory speech was consistent with much of the rhetoric of his presidential campaign. It was also in line with how Biden comported himself during his many years in the Senate -- he was a dealmaking moderate, not a rancorous partisan.
"Is anyone archiving these Trump sycophants for when they try to downplay or deny their complicity in the future?" Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., said in a tweet. "I foresee decent probability of many deleted Tweets, writings, photos in the future."
Yet another threat of putting those that disagree with you on a list, like countless other authoritarian governments.
"You can't heal or reform the GOP who are now an extremist party," Wajahat Ali, a contributing writer for the New York Times, said. "They have to be broken, burned down and rebuilt. When Biden is in power treat them like the active threats to democracy they are. If those who committed crimes aren't punished then they will be more emboldened."
Crimes? What is he talking about? If there were crimes they should have addressed them during the sham impeachment trial.
Michael Simon, who previously worked on the 2008 Obama campaign and in the former president's administration, pledged the project would provide a "record of every staffer, appointee, donor, [endorses] and enabler."
Yet another communist type “list” maker.
"Whether Trump supporters are hostile or misled makes no difference to victims of gun violence, an uncontrolled pandemic and heartless immigration policies -- all of which are choices," Brandon Friedman, a former member of the Obama administration and columnist for the New York Daily News, said. "We should reach out to *those* families long before attempting to reconcile with deplorables."
I wonder why he didn’t put the “protesters” in the same category as the “deplorables”. I don’t recall “deplorables” ever setting anything on fire or raping, murdering or looting local businesses.
"I won’t empathize with, support, forgive, understand, make amends for, reconcile with Trump supporters. Not a single one," tweeted Preston Mitchum, a liberal community organizer in Washington, D.C. "He was a proud white nationalist who proudly raised up many white supremacists. That’s who supported him. And I make no apologies for saying this."
Trump as a “white nationalist” is an opinion, not a fact. Everyone who supported Trump as a “white supremacist” is a damn lie.
"A band-aid approach won’t get the job done. We have a mandate for action on bold plans to meet these twin health and economic crises," she said. "That’s what Americans deserve—and that’s what I’ll be pushing for every single day."
A mandate usually means several congressional seats are won in addition to the presidency. Biden will wind up losing congressional seats when the dust settles.
"My party is me," Biden said during the first presidential debate, as Trump accused him of being at the helm of a party that wants to eliminate private health insurance, a position held by many Democrats who lost to Biden in the Democratic primary.
"I am the Democratic Party right now," Biden added.
You are a petty, vindictive, misguided and possibly dangerous authoritarian, Joe Biden.
President Trump is being proven right when he said, “In reality, they are not after me they’re after you. I am just in the way.”
