This would be amazing if he can do it. At least he's promising good changes vs trump promising judgment day on day one...

Didn't he literally say he would take vengeance on all his political opponents day one? Then the Supreme Court gave him absolute immunity?

[–] [email protected] 32 points 5 months ago

Yes. He said both what I wrote and wanting revenge, saying he will be a dictator for one day, day one. This video has both clips, if you want to skip to 8:17 for the revenge and judgment day after that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNzzOwiebvM

It is weird that they dicked around for 4 years on this, though.

Still, vote blue, your vassals beg you (Australian here).

4 years of daily Republican sabotage of the US government. Democrats are not perfect. They are also not the problem at hand.

Undoing the amount of damage they caused takes time. Biden inherited a spiraling economy, hundreds of thousands of people sick and dying, and a coup attempt that nearly got a bunch of people killed.

Not to mention all the idiotic shit the prior president had done while in office, such as austerity cuts that fucked social programs, legal systems, and low and middle income Americans.

It will take 12-16 years of unified democrat rule to fix corruption, regulatory capture, anti-trust for monopolies, universal healthcare, infrastructure investments that don't get slashed by idiotic presidents, etc.

Four years of chemotherapy isn't nearly enough when we have policy tumors and R&D funding cut abscesses from fucking idiots like Regan, Bush, and Trump.

Hmmm, genuinely improving the lives of Americans vs fire and brimstone and a dictator. Tough choice for Americans in November /s

Get everyone you can to vote in November, seriously. Trump's faction is barely scraping by. We can do this.
