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.”
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.
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.
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.
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.
Christ almighty, no. It's bad enough that the Democratic consultancy didn't tell him to go fuck himself when he thought to run for president a second time.
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.
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.
We desperately need new blood in the Democratic party - people who understand how to actually work for working class voters and to communicate that and earn back people's trust.
Joe's a good man, but his brand of 'actions speak louder than words' does NOT work in the Trump era.
The man who ran against school desegregation and busing, was the architect of mass incarceration and considered Strom Thurmond to be his friend is a good man?
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.
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.
Governance is a thing of the past, it's all campaigning all the time now. Why do you think they fail so hard to accomplish anything? If they actually fix things they have to find something new to run on. It's like studios who focus on sequels and reboots, it's a known quantity. They know people will show up for those platform positions, so they don't want to remove them as an option.
I suppose he had to offer, it was his support of Israel murdering Palestinian women and children that lost Harris the election, but I think it's best for Joe to have a quiet retirement.
Maybe, in time, we'll remember him fondly as Obama's VP.
I really want to get into this opinion. You really believe the 2024 election broke to republicans favor over Palestine? If you are one of the voters that advocated for not voting, are you happy with the result? Is palestine now better off due to trump?
You're getting downvoted but your comment prompts a thought. Would trump 2020 be as dangerous as 2024 trump? The time spent planning and organizing on their part has led to an extremely quick response in destroying this country compared to what happened in his 1st term
I've been saying this and it's an unpopular opinion... it honestly would have been better if Trump had just won in 2020.
Yes, COVID would have continued to be a disaster but we wouldn't have the J6 experience, he would still have a few of the old guard people keeping him in check, and he wouldn't have Elon Musk on board with him.
Most importantly: he would be blamed for the post-COVID shit that was his fault, rather than Biden taking the heat for not fixing the disaster Trump left him. The selective amnesia that settled over half the population from 2021-2024 would not have happened.
And we would be fucking done with Trump by now. My god, imagine that. He flies away on Jan 20, 2025 and we never have to hear from him ever again. Wouldn't that be heaven?
If Democrats were the opposition party during the genocide you wouldn’t get online liberals justifying it and ridiculing anyone opposed to it. The Democrats would have probably won in 2024 too.
They already have chosen a new direction.
Unsurprisingly and in their tone-deaf character they have chosen the worst option.
"embrace patriotism" ban far-left candidate questionnaires and refuse to participate in forums that create ideological purity tests” , etc...
I really hope this wakes up people to vote 3rd party, they do not represent working class people and never have.
Fark off. We're not giving you guys a goddamn thing. You are WAY too comfortable with doing nothing and compromising with 100% concentrated evil. I'll be voting for candidates who were born AFTER the Battle of the Bulge.
