Obviously, no comment. But things have happened and other things are in motion.

Concepts of a plan, as it were

Can they not identify the solution unless they're willing to risk their life?

I guess letting Trump run out the clock on justice was the voters fault too, then, eh? Even when Biden was literally handed a way to prevent Trump from running on a silver platter by the Supreme Court that basically ruled that anything a President does is part of Presidential Duties. He and the entire apparatus around him including twerps like Merrick Garland has so many fucking options to stop...

here's something that still fucking rankles me:

think about all the billions of dollars, year after year, we put into the NSA, CIA, DIA, FBI, and so many other intel orgs - and what good did it do when a treasonous pedophile came knocking?

What's the fucking point of it all if this is the outcome?

Exactly, what the fuck are we even paying taxes for if not to protect us from this kind of shit???

He still speaks better than Trump. He is more cognitively in tact and shows better judgement as well. Always has.

He wanted to have his genocide and give Israel everything he could, and as soon as he was gone Bibi shit on him and said he did very little. Fuck Biden.

I wonder how Kamala feels about throwing the election rather than making a stand against genocide.

/we pretty much know what's in the DNC's report about their failed campaign

You're trying to place blame on an individual instead of a party that encourages policies that creates voter disenfranchisement. Why is critical analysis attacked?

This is what I hear when people blame the voters: "Instead of one candidate changing their stance, millions of voters should instead change their stances!"

And I respect your opinion, but I'm sick of the status quo of liberals capitulating and giving the elites and Zionists everything they want. I'm sick of this lie I've been living my entire life.

The DNC is a fucking scam

Remember CNN and CBS are no longer trust worthy.

True, but they like to complain about it. If Harris had pledged to defend Gaza they would have just found some other excuse.

Not without violence we can't, and liberals aren't willing to do that

Plenty of dictatorships were overthrown with no or only minimal violence, and the US isn't even a full-fledged dictatorship yet.

God that argument is so disengenuous. It basically comes to "cater to us a vocal minority or we won't play." You leftists scream about the genocide but what exactly did you accomish? Smugness? Superiority? I haven't heard a single leftist give a shit about South Sudan or Myanmar. Leftists are quiet when it comes to Ukraine. But you're incredibly loud about Gaza... you know, the crater where a p...

If this was any normal election, then I would have supported the protest voters.

The problem was that it wasn’t. Trump is trying to ethnically cleanse Latinos out of America. I knew this was going to happen and I wanted to avoid it.

Immigrants were pleading with protest voters during the election. There are Latinos who protested with them from the beginning that have now gone into hiding. I talked to an immigrant that was begging leftists to care, and they accused them of being for genocide just for wanting their family to survive.

It’s not that I hate leftism. But a lot of leftists are unsafe for POC and women. They are privileged enough to prioritize ideals over safety. I only trust leftists that are intersectional, not those who champion some mythical homogeneous global working class.

Although somehow, Trump being just as mentally incompetent, wasn't an issue. He may be a couple years younger but he is in no objectively measured way more competent. The GOP could run a sewer rat and leftists would still complain that the human Democrat was more of a problem. No, Biden, there isn't a way back. America is hooped.

We were not the ones that chose to overlook his mental decline, the fact his campaign was tanking, and his racist past. That wound of Biden was self inflicted. There was a candidate that several leftists compromised with, but not having the balls to do what's right, liberals selected the candidate that the party chose for them

Go to hell already Genocide Joe, you catastrophically failed this moment of US history in a way that dooms us all to a worse future.

I hope your end of life is full of pain and slow and you have time to reflect on how you made the world a far worse place by completely delivering power to fascism and that in your final moments it is front and center in your mind that that is all you will be remembered for.

Don't be that guy. Whatever is happening under Trump is something new. Predictable, maybe, but new and uniquely terrifying in modern times.

*Edit: New in American history. Please stop replying to tell me this is an age old issue that has plagued civilization since the dawn of time. When Biden implies that we (the US) can't come back from this, he is obviously talking about the loss of whatever is left of American democracy and the descent into authoritarian dictatorship/oligarchy. Americans have never seen anything like it except as bystanders.

I did in fact read it. I did in fact read the dissenting opinions. I did in fact listen to the case as it was being presented including all the theoreticals posed. Biden could have him killed or pushed out of a c130 somewhere over the pacific and then scotus would step in after the fact. It was literally one of the dissenting opinion points about just how far this could be abused before it’s re...

You really think SCOTUS would have given Biden a fair shot? After blocking Biden's student loan forgiveness EOs but giving Trump near full immunity. It's clear they would have skewered Biden first chance. Hell, House Republicans brought in Hillary for private Epstein testimony, leaked it against the rules they'd agreed to, then proceeded to ask her about UFOs and Pizzagate. There is no symmetry to their rule making and rule breaking.

This is the circumstance you decry Biden for not extrajudicially murdering his fascist opponents when he supposedly had the chance.

It is denial, it is shocking to these people that what they had minimized as annoying whiny leftist nitpicking was the largest geopolitical event happening on earth in terms of impact.

Would you want to be in their shoes? That isn't just a marker of cluelessness and intellectual incompetence, it is damning to their very soul.

Getting ratio’d on this site by people who don’t put up candidates, organize parties or hardly even vote doesn’t mean much.

Democrats are by far either the most popular or the second most popular party in the states in every single modern election.

Democrats and liberals are not alone in our beliefs.

Going to war with Iran today and still the Democratic leadership is in lock step with Trump. This was something they all wanted and they are giddy Trump will take the heat for it.

Going to take away their staggering momentum going into midterms and it will some how be leftists fault again lol.

Is it? Biden was actively helping run a genocide. Are we all just pretending those deaths didnt happen and Biden didnt play any role in them at all? I will not. Biden was an absolute dogshit president. Compared to Trump he was great, but he absolutely belongs behind bars, same as trump does.

No. He doesnt. You can stop lying about how feeble Biden is. Trump may be flatly and criminally insane but he can talk/ramble like a two year old. Biden cant. Thats just a simple fact, and your denying reality about Biden still highlights a huge problem on both sides. There just is no objective reality anymore. People like yourself want to claim self serving bullshit is real. We need to bring truth back.
