Biden’s alliance with the left has worked, but will it last?

Joe Biden wasn’t progressives’ first choice for the White House in 2020. And he wasn’t their second or third, either.

But defying expectations, liberal Democrats have emerged as the president’s most loyal allies in Congress during his first two years in office, helping to pass a massive COVID-19 relief package, a historic investment in American infrastructure and billions of dollars to combat climate change.

Their alliance was as fruitful as it was unlikely. And it could soon be put to the test.

Democrats are bracing for losses in Tuesday’s elections that could cost them their majorities in the House and Senate, an outcome certain to fuel questions about the party’s direction as Biden considers another run for the White House. Republicans, bullish on their chances of winning back power, are preparing an onslaught of investigations into Biden’s administration and are certain to try and unravel his legislative achievements.

The dynamic between Biden and the liberal flank of his party is one that lawmakers insist will end up uniting Democrats behind Biden, even as some openly say they don’t want him to run for reelection and others complain the president is too prone to compromise. …

AS IF he is running or is aware of anything! Joe Biden is a puppet for a cabal of radicals who run him and Jill.
There is no alliance, because that would take two parties to agree to act in concert, and there is only one party.

Don’t think it will last when the voting public gets hungry, cold and have to pay $10/gallon for gas or diesel.

Biden’s handlers alliance with the left has worked, but will it last?

The basement dummy is not in charge of any policy. They pump him up with some cocktail each weekend at Delaware and send him out to repeat talking points. Talking points he frequently screws up

--- "Biden's alliance with the left has worked, but will it last?"

This bilge from the ASS-ociated Press is a lie layered on other lies. In order to gain a larger understanding and to keep that Overton Window wide open, I read the real Left as well as conservative voices. Such as NEO and Worldwide Socialist Website do NOT validate all the lunacy and enormous corruption of the "Biden alliance." This alliance is of the very deep and very corrupt administrative state and its true corporatist stance, far more akin to Fascism, which aligns so well with the Big Pharma cabal, the military-industrial complex and repetitions of failed military adventurism, and the siphoning of money from the productive in society to the corrupt through climate alarmism and "gender affirmation" and more.

Simply to posit that somehow Biden and his party handlers were merely an "alliance" with the Left is such an egregious lie that this sort of media is running out of narratives of any power. Biden only "allied" with the Left? A howler of an assertion.

The truth is that the Democrats (and RINOs) like their kin in Europe are corrupt beyond belief. They depend on our perception of them as a defense against exposure. Currently that exposure stands at well over $31 trillion dollars of debt because they "care...."

The solution to so many things is a real and abiding conservative governance and fiscal policy, which persistently culls the "public servant" herd of the corrupt and rights the ship of state. Government was the problem, and the problem grows.

The ASS-ociated Press wants to serve their masters and lick their boots.

The dolts at AP must think Biden makes decisions for himself. He is told exactly what to do and then he does it. He is a useful idiot in the classical sense of the word. Perfect for the Commies. (BTW, they are not progressives.)

Biden won the nomination because dems are inherently racist, and after 2 nominations for a half-black guy and then a woman, they were going to nominate an old white guy no matter what.

And Bernie Sanders was too crazy to be nominated yet, and Petey "Pierre Antoinette" BootyGlib was too homosexual.

Bidens’ cerebral cortex needs to form and alliance with his frontal lobe.

Which none have worked.

That’s what caught my eye right away, too. There is NO OTHER “flank.” They are all communists who openly want to destroy America.
