Thank You, still_one! I don't know if you've seen
this or not..?
It's from BlueGreen Alliance who Biden's Team was supposed to have "plagiarized.. https://twitter.com/BGAlliance/status/1136028046002184193
It's too bad Greenpeace is trying to gaslight with their grading system.. I used to like them a lot. Bought their calendars every Christmas for my loved ones when I lived in New York.
Yes, the facts on the ground are vital!

Thank you for your OP, MineralMan
Biden chose to be at the Human Rights Convention..
Vice President Joe Biden was the first sitting Vice President of the United States to express his personal support for marriage equality and helped lead the most pro-LGBTQ administration in our nations history. After leaving office, Vice President Biden has continued to champion the rights of LGBTQ people in the United States and globally through the Biden Foundation, which built on the Bidens lifelong commitment to advancing equality, including fighting for equal treatment, inclusion, acceptance, dignity, and justice for LGBTQ people.

Also..
Alexandra "Alex" Gallardo Rooker, acting chairwoman of the California Democratic Party, said at one point during the event, however, that she and Biden spoke last week and the former vice president said he had already committed to the Human Rights Campaign Dinner on Saturday night in Columbus, Ohio, and therefore could not make it to the convention.
Biden, Gallardo-Rooker said, assured her that he would visit California "many times."

At that California convention, Warren said Some Democrats in Washington believe the only changes we can get are tweaks and nudges. If they dream at all, they dream small. Some say if wed all just calm down, the Republicans will come to their senses. But our country is in a time of crisis. The time for small ideas is over.

This OP lists a lot of what was going on in 1994..

Thank you for this from Clarence Page, Vidal..
Democrats, among others, would be wise to follow the advice of Rep. James Clyburn of South Carolina, who during an appearance on Chris Cuomos CNN show cautioned fellow Democrats to temper their anger and do a little more research and see exactly how we got to where we are.

Thank you, question everything
This is Key.. and what many of us have been saying since 2018..
Democrats may not have moved as far left as widely thought. Many observers put together the very real energy among the partys liberal base and the partys success in the 2018 midterm elections and concluded that the first was responsible for the second. That has emboldened the liberal wing of the party to try to push the partys agenda well to the left. This almost certainly represents a misreading of the 2018 midterm election, when the most important victories werent by candidates on the left, but by 21 House freshmen who won in districts President Trump carried in 2016. They were centrist candidates, and represent where many Democratic and independent voters are: on the center-left.
Thank you, question everything
