Score one for Joe Biden

Dear readers, we've just launched the Palmer Report 2025 Operating Expenses Fund. If we can fully fund this, it'll bridge the gap and ensure that Palmer Report can keep fighting now and forever.

An age-old problem that we have to deal with in just about every election (typically itโ€™s just in presidential election years), is a group of voters critical of the Democratic nominee โ€œbut from the Left.โ€ These people will act as though the Democrat running for president will have to earn their vote, while claiming that they have failed to deliver on whatever happens to be their own personal cause, yet has no qualms about voting for a third party candidate that few people have heard of and probably has no experience in public office.

Generally, you might argue in good faith to convince these people to vote your way by saying โ€œIโ€™m not the biggest fan of Hillary (or Biden, Obama, John Kerry, etc.,) butโ€ฆโ€ This is always a mistake. Very few critics โ€œfrom the Leftโ€ are actually undecided when you speak to them – and this kind of rhetoric only makes people who are genuinely on the fence worried about who to vote for, as it demonstrates you lack confidence in your nominee – thatโ€™s why we need to abandon any โ€œlesser of two evilsโ€ rhetoric entirely.

While there are those acting in bad faith criticizing President Biden from the left, heโ€™s actually the most progressive president weโ€™ve had in a long time and his actions on Tuesday are one prime reason why this is. The Biden-Harris administration announced drug price negotiations for ten major pharmaceutical prescriptions – due to provisions first introduced under the Inflation Reduction Act, which not a single Republican voted for, even though theyโ€™ll almost certainly take the credit for its effects. With just a 50-50 Senate, President Biden has successfully accomplished something that Democrats have had on their agenda for decades and will save the government tens of billions of dollars as well as the taxpayer, regardless of what arguments right-wingers will make against it.
