      Approaching climate change by not doing anything dramatic about fossil fuels is an awful long term strategy. So is framing the existential crisis of humanity as hinging on Joe Biden.

      Biden wants to be President of the United States. That's a pretty powerful job. Not all of climate future hinges on him but he'd be a big player (along with leaders in China, India, Europe etc). So: is his "middle ground" approach right?

      I don’t even know what it is. I assume people are correct that it’s awful by trying to please everyone, including nullifiers, as he always does. But it doesn’t interest me as much as the kamikaze moves of Bernie’s campaign, the constant bad faith arguments, against anyone…

      …perceived as a threat to Bernie’s candidacy. BTW, I love how all the Bernie people all of a sudden fulminating about Biden are twelve years behind me.https://m.dailykos.com/stories/2007/8/7/368407/- …

      Why is criticizing Biden even a pro-Bernie thing. There are lots of Democratic candidates who are better on this than Biden. Beto came through with an interesting climate plan. The whole point of a primary is to argue politics.

      Uh, what were we talking about? A very pro-Bernie event where pro-Bernie ppl spent a lot of time attacking him, just not by name. The bad faith is hard to ignore. I’m making a political argument. You know it doesn’t follow that therefore I’m ok w Biden’s candidacy & policies

      Biden is the front-runner so criticizing him is the logical thing for another campaign to do. I wish the other Dems were also criticizing Biden on this, maybe it would get him to change his stance.

      Like I said, you’re not they good at punditry. 1. Tout your own candidacy 2. Do opposition research & get it on the hands of reporters 3. Wait until debates start to worry about knocking down the supposed fromtrunner 4. Give the opportunity to hit Niden to others…

      I don't have a candidate, I don't do oppo research, I think there's plenty of time before debate for candidates to stake out contrasting policy positions, & Bernie is doing a favor to the other non-Biden candidates by being the one taking on Biden.

      I agree with the last part. Why I used the word “kamikaze.” Thing is, kamikazes understood what they were doing, & didn’t blame their crashes on “centrists” or the Democratic Party.

      If you hate Bernie, you should support him using kamikaze tactics.

          I don’t much like Bernie, or hearing everyone is compromised but the 30 year veterans no accomplishments I who I like is irrelevant to what matters, which is who has power, who will use it most justly & effectively, & how the actions of me & others affects those answers.
