    In a bizarre turn of events, Joe Biden admitted that he’s hoping a decent number of Republicans win reelection next year because he believes that we need the Republicans to balance us out. There was a time in this country where that statement could have been true, but that is in the distant past compared to where we are now. The pendulum is swinging back to the left, and that is where it needs to go in order to right the wrongs of the past few decades.


    Joe says he's worried that dems might get too much power while campaigning in Iowa.

    This is infuriating to top lefties, who apparently feel the dems should "swing the pendulum" to the left.

    Moderation and Compromise have been made into dirty words. Joe was one of those 'reach across the isle' guys when Bohener still had some semblance of control. I don't know if that kind of thing would ever work with the Republican party (or even the Dem party) as they stand today.

    Biden is entitled to his opinion.

    Good for him.

    PS--I am surprised that it took So LONG for this story to get posted.

    This story has been floating around (at least) since Saturday.

    Usually, the Biden-Bashers have this sort of thing posted minutes after it hits the wires.

    well that is always true, if repubs control everything, goes to far right
    if dems control everything it goes too far left

    I have said that many times

    the Senate is now a issue though as only required 50 votes to seat a SC judge, 60 was much better for both parties

    Then somebody mentioned his kid's name, and Joe got into the old timey boxer's stance and threatened to clobber 'em good.

    AJ there is just so much Biden material out there, its important to prioritize.

    Up soon-how Biden helped create the student loan crisis, and Warren telling poor parents to fix their own schools.

    Well, I know why that is happening. For many many years the Republicans turned to their base after the Tea Party Revolt forced them into orthodoxy or risk being Primary'd. And it seemed to work out well for them. The Dem base wants to entrench and reverse the shifting of the Overton window to the Right.

    That wont' include bipartisanship unfortunately :(

    but maybe it's what they need. I'm hoping that this period of the Rs time is their 'rock bottom' and they can move away from their base and back towards the Moderates in the near future. I think the Dems need about the same. Get this 'lets appeal only to the base' mentality out of their system.

    Wish I had the chart handy but most states have moved to the right over the last several years. Its only a few, like California that have moved further left.

    Yep. Everyone is entrenching. It's not just the States either. Its happening up here (Doug Ford, Jason Kenney, Andrew Sheer) and across the globe (Johnson and Corbyn in the UK, that guy in Brazil).

    And Russia and China just laugh and laugh and laugh (while they do everything they can to destabilize our democracies)

    It's meaningless, because I suspect that 2020 is going to end up with the GOP making massive gains across the board plus Trump easily getting re-elected. Biden can't even remember the current decade half the time in his campaign speeches and Nancy Pelosi sounds like someone suffering from long term alcohol poisoning. The Dem Party is in huge trouble and is making it worse on themselves by playing
    with the Constitution with a bogus impeachment bid.

    Yes, I saw that in polling data yesterday; a fact that our leftists have mysteriously avoided discussing.

    So did Trump 4 Years ago.

    The Presidential Campaign is rigorous (with a lot of twists and turns). :salute:

    After witnessing the Nadler-Schiff for Brains three ring circus, I doubt the Democrats will get too much power. If they vote to impeach, they just might lose the house with 31 Democrats up for re-election in districts Trump won in 2016.
