Hmm. Is this the first shot in Drumpf's new attacks against Joe?

I spoke to the NYT about increasing scrutiny of the many corporate lobbyists who are in Biden's inner circle. It's very worrisome - and this story is well-done, but because of space limitations is really only able to scratch the surface.

about all the "crooks" and con artists trump has in his administration. And don't forget all those "Russians" he has done business with, and most of all his "man crush" on putin.

I also want to know how many millions if not billions of taxpayer dollars trumps and his gang of thieves have stolen!

Granted, many people on the left don’t like Biden but many have made their peace with him. Still can’t touch Trump’s ties to corporate lobbyists.

After all the talk about Bernie/Biden working on the platform together, and how much Biden moved to the left, I'm seeing a lot of "DNC betrayed us!" from the left. Also suddenly seeing Rose twitter ramping up it's attacks, demanding that Nina Turner be VP, and lots of former Bernie surrogates taking aim at Biden.

Curious...

whom are “Never Bidens” whom have never gotten off the rape allegations and somehow think that electing Biden is literally as bad (or worse) as electing Trump. I would figure that their numbers are negligible at best. Most sane folks understand that another 4 years of Trump would clearly be worse.

There go the Bernie Sanders voters. Give'em a reason not to vote for Biden... and it's like voting for Trump.

No offense to anyone on DU who voted for Sanders who is planning to vote for Biden.

I still don't know if my husband will vote for Biden. He really should join the Green Party.

There are so many things wrong with our government, but jeezus...we've gone off the cliff and haven't even landed yet. Get money out of politics...absolutely! But can we concentrate on getting the government before there's nothing left to get? Or not. Dissolution can't be so bad.
