Oh my fuck.
get out
get the fuck out, Biden
You lost the whole show, you simple fuck. You handed the republic to the fascists. You did NOTHING to stop them. You shook his fucking hand and gave him tea. You couldn’t campaign to save your own fucking life, and your meddling played a major role in your successor failing (though Harris does not get a pass here either). If I never see your name - or the Clinton name, for that matter - ever again in my life, it’ll be too soon.
No, no. It’s worse. They did more than nothing. They specifically held back from prosecuting him because they wanted to run against trump. So Biden could attempt to stay in power by saying “oh it has to be me I’m the only one who’s beaten him.”
The hubris is just absolutely infuriating
Agreed.
It’s wild that Biden’s arrogance and conceit was a more important concern than winning the election. Everyone around him knew his brain was fucked.
He’s probably more like a young child emotionally right now from mental decline, shouldnt have been allowed to be president.
It’s not hubris though. They know what they are doing and they don’t care because they won’t be the ones hurt by it. They would legitimately rather Trump be president than win by having to adopt any kind of actually progressive policy. This is what all of their actions have shown us. Don’t give them a pass for incompetence, they are just as culpable for the situation we find ourselves in today.
Do we have proof or is this conjecture that fits what we can observe?
It’s been a while and searching for old news including the words Biden and trump is basically impossible, but I do remember seeing a like DOJ memo or something to hold off on persecuting. While it did not say the reason I listed above, I can’t imagine much other reason to do so and it’s not like they’ll come out and admit it was for that reason.
Edit: and post I remember commenting on about it two months ago was deleted from politics…. so… can’t find it that way.
Thanks for the added context. If they did intentionally delay prosecution (plausible considering how much time they had to do it but didn’t) then that’s pretty hard to excuse regardless of the reason.
What a weird coincidence that, just as AOC and Bernie begin a wildly successful tour of the country, we start hearing about the Biden’s wanting to help lead the party or Kamala being the the top choice for 2028.
Like how suddenly all the milquetoast candidates capitulated to Biden just before Super Tuesday when Bernie was winning states.
Always weird how they use dirty tactics for the left but never the fascists…
Or how they delayed announcing a winner in Iowa, rigged at least one delegate coin flip, and eventually anointed Buttigieg the winner even though Bernie received more votes.
May as well get ready for president Ivanka Trump in 2028. The DNC is its own worst enemy.
30,000+ people showed up today for the Bernie/AOC rally today in Colorado.
If only there was a way forward…… Says the Democrats
Bernie isn’t what I would call a spring chicken
It would be nice to have someone who doesn’t look like they are going to die any second.
Bernie the sheep dog is not the way forward.
Can’t even bring himself to say the world genocide.
That horrible regime party can’t be fixed.
As long as Americans don’t vote 3rd party they get what they deserve.As long as you hyperfixate on a single issue that’s over there, it’ll be hard to win over here.
It is only genocide, no biggie. It is not like Palestinians are people.
Just remember this the next time you wonder why certain demographics don’t want to vote Democratic anymore. Someone’s single issue is another’s family and friends.
By your logic why “hyperfixate” on anything? The environment, democracy, human rights and so on, are each a single issue. By the looks of it [some in] the Democratic Party aren’t stopping at abandoning Palestinians either: Gavin Newsom breaks with Democrats on trans athletes in sports. “It is a single issue, don’t hyperfixate on it”, will be the rallying cry in 2028 I’m sure.
The USAID that used to feed Gaza is gone, nothing is coming into replace it. People are going to starve to death. Not that you cared about that. Doesn’t run with your narrative. Just like hamas stealing the USAID to sell back to starving palestinians. Doesn’t fit the narrative.
If you understood how government worked and cared about palestine you’d be VOTING for a senator and house rep who will defund isreal. But noooooo lets not have any strategic goals in mind when elections come around. Lets virtue signal and seethe and concrete the genocide you’re screetching about.
Israel is intentionally blocking aid into Gaza. Hamas has nothing to do with it. The termination of USAID also has nothing to do with it. Aid trucks are stuck at the border not allowed in.
FYI I voted for Jill Stein. No Democrat, at least on my ballot was going to defund Israel.
Edit: I missed adding that the Biden administration already cut funding to the UNRWA, so starving Palestinians is bipartisan:
The president does not authorize spending. He just executes the spending. Congress has power of purse, they are the only ones that can cut funding for Isreal. Which i fully support. I would be happy to cut aid to isreal and increase aid to palestine. Happy to help protect palestinian land from Isreali encroachment. I am an ally you are alienating with your harsh views. We probably agree on a lot of things that would benefit palestine. I think without a practical method to acheive them you will never see your goals fullfilled politically.
Mostly because you voted third party for president not knowing that you meant to vote for congress.
Oh. You voted for a different Putin puppet whose post has made no attempt to run a real campaign in the US and clearly (and vocally) had no intent on winning. Very helpful.
It’s not a single issue, he is also a warmonger and cheerleader for all the US wars among other things.
Or do you mean everyone should just ignore al that inconvenient horrible stuff bcs that’s somewhere else and doesn’t affect them personally?
The true lib way.
Bernie is 3rd party…
He’s a sheepdog for the dems.
And whatever he is, he’s certainly no alternative.His main motive was the oppose Trump because Trump was the greater evil.
The DNC knows Bernie wasn’t petty enough to try and split the vote like Trump threatened to do to the RNC.
He has a carreer of sheepdogging long before Trump.
Is this supposed to say something?
Support alternatives to FPTP first
Bernie and AOC are the new direction. Biden wants back in to stop them. Fuck Biden!
Make no mistake:
This is not “help.” This is the neoliberal fascist collaborator backlash against help.
it’s not Biden.
It’s the party.
it needs a culling. absolute decimation. vote nearly all of them out. you know the very few that should stay. erase the rest from history.
dude if a republican unwittingly says something that doesn’t call for death of trans people they’ll be immediately ousted. democrats out here capitulating to nazis. be a little republican. get them out.
If voting worked they would abolish voting. Both parties have the same masters.
Keep setting Tesla dealerships on fire, the only things capitalists respond to are forced devaluation events
They are trying to abolish voting, see voter suppression laws and pretty much every voting rights case the Supreme Court has seen during Roberts’s tenure.
It honestly feels like the Democratic Party is doing everything they can to lose.
They must be saving Hillary for when things get really bad
Michael Dukakis is their ace in the hole.
I would joke about Al Gore but he’s definitely too far left
I mean if Trump were to attempt to run for president again, I’m sure the Dems would put Obama on the ticket with the same reasoning for a third term.
Is Kitty Dukakis still on drugs?
I hear she’s now mainlining a mixture of formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, and methanol.
Edit: spelling
They’re not quite sure if they want to rock us yet.
Somebody call Howard Dean. That’s the level of enthusiasm we need right now.
I mean, I wouldn’t mind some Hillary right now.
^~not an endoresement~^
The fuck would you want some sort of that even handed well educated steady hand at the wheel?
Why the fuck would you want that? Compared to now? Cause GeNoCiDe?
^~not an endoresement~^
You forgot to turn off the signature when you switched sock puppet accounts
Whu???
JiLl StEiN 2028!!!1
\s
Fuck off Joe!
Anyone over the age of 55 needs to be in an advisory role, not a leadership role. It is literally the same fucking leadership today as it was 20 years ago.
RETIRE YOU OLD FUCKS
Daily reminder of our planned strike. Together we’ll show them all our strength. Sign your strike card today!
I read through that whole thing. What is the demand? It’s just general hate against the trump administration? I’m all in favor but unless the strike has specific legal actionable demands what is the point? Even under the “demands” section of their FAQ it lists a bunch of vague “good” things that they want (all of which I’m in favor of) but says it won’t get into specifics until later.
You do the strike, it panics the ruling class, and then what? There’s nothing they’ve been informed of that they can do. No line that tells them “you can put an end to this if you do XYZ”. Nothing to tell the people whether the strike succeeded or failed. What will that get? A bunch of people who conclude that the strike didn’t work and they need food so they go back to their jobs. Next time the strike comes around, even if it has demands this time, the obvious thought is that it didn’t work last time so why would it work this time and distrust in the people and political ideology that started this strike in the first place.
In my opinion, a movement like this is defined exclusively by their policies and demands. Without those it’s just people throwing a tantrum.
Their documents specify that they will have meetings with their sign ups to finalize the list of demands.
So join the discord and join their meetings and ask away.
Its just some tankie astroturfers celebrating the fall of the entire USA and all its people.
I understand that they probably don’t want to lock themselves into a timetable, but arranging a general strike without a date chosen seems like it is an uphill battle at best.
They have a timeline they want to work with.
0-6M signatures is just organizing/coalition building and figuring out skillsets.
6-10M signatures create demands and plan events, work on strike dates, keep organizing, more outreach.
11M signatures strike on the chosen day, mutual aid networks work to support strikers, educate new strikers and volunteers.
I already quit my job because the manager was shit :/
Why has the left been floundering for the past dozen years? It doesn’t feel like the common man has anyone to represent us.
Take your pick/all:
$$$/ lobbyists/ citizen united/ Dems deepthroating Corpo influence/ dinosaur leaders pruning any progressive candidates
yea sure more of the old stuff should help
Fuck. Off. Grandpa.
Dude’s figured out his legacy isn’t what he thought it would be and is trying to come back and “fix” it. Fucking horrible person for his entire adult life.
I don’t think it’s that. I think he truly thinks he’s had a good career and fought the good fight. He’s so out of touch, but he wants to help because he heard there’s a problem. Probably don’t even understand how his help might not be a good thing.
I think he wants to help out of self preservation, because he still sees himself tied to the democrat party. If it implodes immediately after he loses an election (arguably his loss as well as Kamala’s), it will tank his legacy. He will be a big part of why the party died.
So sure, yeah he wants to help the democrats, in a round about way. Its hilarious he thinks he could help at all though, rather than hasten its implosion.
Maybe he should offer to help Gaza instead. Fuck Biden.
He could do anything selfless and it would work, I’m just not sure he’s capable.
Yes please prop up the dead husk of Joe Biden on a stage like weekend at Bernie’s. That’ll really embolden the base.
