3 days ago, it was going to be the last election, the ultimate election, the end times, the end of democracy. Now we'll be fine?
Pre-election Dems and post-election Dems cannot both be right. One of the two is lying.
And this is exactly what's wrong with the Democrats, and why Biden never should've run. They're too comfortable in their big houses with all their money and privilege. They have no fucking idea what it's like for most Americans, and clearly they don't care because they've never had to. There is no party in the US to fight for regular people, so they didn't vote.
Says the neoliberal shitbag who appointed a conservative traitor to NOT prosecute Trump. The same shitbag who should NOT have run in the first fucking place. And now the DNC is going to tack even further right.
Historically, fascism is only defeated through violence, but in this case, that violence needs to happen inside our own house. The DNC needs to purge itself of neoliberals and conservatives just in case there's another shot at salvaging democracy. DNC neoliberals are the deadly threat closest to us.
Biden needs to shut up and get back to work appointing judges.
Narrator: they would not be ok
Does Biden seriously think Trrump will let him retire in peace? He needs to flee the country before Trump is sworn in or he and his family will be arrested. There's no way Trump will let go the man who beat him, the man who made him look like a fool, the man who was going to have him arrested during his presidency.
Even Taylor Swift might be facing issues.
Trump cannot commit crimes as a president. There's no such thing as murder for him anymore.
Thanks, Joe von Hindenbiden
Right, for him when Trump or Harris wins, the election is fair and transparent.
I'm sorry for the conspiracy tone, but they do keep playing you for fools.
What a fucking tool.
Good job, Biden. You care so much about your legacy? Guess what: your legacy is now “one of the hubristic egotistical dipshits that made so many unforced errors that you basically opened the fucking door for the fascists to take over”. You’ll be remembered alongside the likes of Neville Chamberlain and Paul von Hindenburg. You absolute fucking chode. You lost the fucking republic.
Easy for his old, rich, white ass to say.
My immigrant ass is terrified.
How's the rest of your body doing?
My overstay torso is horrified
Thoughts and prays to your overstay torso, what ever the fuck that is.
"I know people are still hurting, but things are changing rapidly. Together we've changed America for the better. Now we have 74 days to finish the term, our term. Let's make every day count."
Jesus fucking Christmas. Nothing will penetrate his perfect shield of fantasy.
Well I mean, what would you say in that position? It's hardly going to help any to come out and announce that everything is fucked and you'd probably also be pretty disinclined to say nothing of note was achieved in your own administration or that there isn't really enough time to do much of anything in the remaining period.
He could resign right now and let Kamala finish the term, ruining the millions of dollars of "47" merch on the market.
The beginning and end of Leadership is accountability. The Dems refuse to accept their part in this loss.
The President and Vice President have zero outward indications that this is personally painful to them, at all. If anything, they seem relieved to be passing the potato. If they are so out of touch, or so insulated from the pernicious outcomes of their doleful stewardship of this country, then WHY should voters place their trust in that party again, considering it's been helmed and staffed by the same obstinate members for decades?
I don't see Leadership, I see a kind of craven capitulation, at a time when America most need its leaders to have fire in their bellies, and compassion in their eyes.
Rich old white dudes are going to be ok.
"nothing will fundamentally change"
Aw man......I'm just a broke middle aged white guy........
Hate to break it to you, we're still near the top of the heap.
Honestly him getting re-elected is the first time in my life where I felt the absolute gravity of "Oh, THIS is white privilege" like theres no fuckin nuance to this. I'm straight, white and middle aged. If I say the right things I'll probably be fine, not much is going to change for me.
I cant say the same for a lot of other people.
