And...? So let's see the same amount of Gaza energy on that.

You seem upset people are worked up about wanting a Genocide to stop in Gaza and it is confusing.

Yes cool, lets get some more energy, why would I not be in favor of more awareness about human rights crisises?...?

Biden was one of the best presidents in my lifetime and he would have been for a second run too. Being a white male he probably could have pulled off the win again too.

100% a troll.

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.

Actually, you are fucking with a very engaged crowd that is by and large far more politically educated and engaged than you are, which is why you are getting ratio'd with pushback.

Glad you think a slide into fascism is a joke.

Glad you think a slide into fascism is a joke.

I think DNC centrist clownshow leadership and constant failure at everything they touch is a joke. A sad one, but a joke nonetheless. At least they got paid by the zionists for selling us all out. Taking bribes sure wasnt a joke, was it u/Devolution?

The only joke jokier that that is your continued warpath in support of them.

I’ve had more pushback before plus I’ve seen what makes the leftists cheer so I’m not exactly looking for their approval just trying to get them to open their eyes a bit.

No, that would have made all the difference in the world, Harris would have won.

I doubt it.

They were looking for any excuse to not vote for her. The fact that the wedge issue they picked is still worse off under Trump is evidence they never really cared about it in the first place. If they actually cared about Gaza, voting for Harris as the imperfect but better and more readily influenced candidate would have been the right answer.

If she had said the right words on Gaza they would have moved to not being good enough on trans rights or something.

Cool narrative, provide evidence leftists by and large don't actually care about Palestinians or it is just that, an abstract narrative.

So by your logic you are admitting you have no evidence of the massive claim you just made?

My piefed client voyager put this reply in a different place than the website browser so I feel the need to reply to this again.

.ml thinks Ukrainians are nazis and are actively cheering for Russia’s genocide of them.

This is clear if you spend any time on .ml’s instance.

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...

The point is that it wouldn't matter because the issues could be solved before the court cases matter. He was the one everyone was told would be able to fix things "because he's been in politics longer than most people have been alive, he knows all the levers to pull to get results".

He should have been able to recognize and ignore the asymmetric shit going on just as trump does, and actually work to reset things. Instead he sat around and did fuck all that will last longer than his lifetime.

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.

Name a president who wasn't dog shit? America was always picking fights with people to push their agenda.

Are we participating in those genocides like we participated in the genocide of Palestine? Are we the worlds police?

The answer is No to both questions. So the question becomes, why are you running interfernce for the genocide of Palestine? Personal for you, is it?

we can still mend this

I think thats Wishful Thinking. Who is going to fix it? the courts? the DNC? the judiciary? Congress? Some people we need to eventually elect through a rigged system and get a majority with that overthrows the "left-leaning" party? You'd have to fix every single part of government simultaneously, with a left party with no interest in doing so, thats top-to-bottom bribed by the government of Israel who wanted the right to win. And a rightwing party thats openly violent and fascist. I'd argue that history shows us that whats always next is a rise of a violent autocrat followed by a lot of carnage before they are violently put down, or the failed state conquered or puppeted by a foreign power. Or we can split power into a triumverate to slightly delay the inevitable.

This situation has played out time and time again. When Jefferson said the tree of liberty has to be watered by the blood of tyrants this is what he meant. Humans repeatedly forget our history and do exactly this same thing.

Joe Biden and the Democratic Party leadership are part-and-parcel to this. The downfall of Iran has been continuous American policy for over 40 years, and the party has acts as a honeypot to capture and neutralize progressive policies and politicians, and stop the Overthrow Window from moving leftward. No more opposition to war, no more economic populism, no more social safety net. All they do is run “block tackle” for neoconservatives. The uniparty could not be more obvious right now.

I’ve explained this before.

I used to be much more left than I am now.

Spending time on this site and seeing how the leftists keep gatekeeping and infighting lead me to believe they’d never be a useful political bloc so I became a liberal so I can help defeat the republicans.

Any sane political movement would welcome me under their tent but leftists spend most of their time telling others they aren’t good enough to be there until it’s a thousand small tents with one or two people under each one.

SCOTUS gave the presidency unilateral powers for official acts. Biden could have easily threw the bad Supremes into the slammer, release the PDFiles, have Tulsi shot for being a Russian agent, and more.

Abusive, yes. But at least it would force all the bullshit into the light.

He should shut the fuck up. That fucking hump is responsible for this.

When he took over, he immediately launched a Covid Vaccine program and an Economic Stimulus program that were both far more successful than predicted. For that, he could have landed in the top 10-15 of presidents.

But he had to do a decent job for the rest of his presidency, which mainly included dealing with MAGA as the National Security Threat they are. He had just seen Trump launch an Insurrection. That would have been enough for him to step off the podium after being sworn in, and say "Round them ALL up, and ship them to Guantanamo for interrogation. We'll sort them out there."

If he'd done that, we would have found out about the False Electors Plot, AND his Stolen Classified Documents Operation. That's THREE separate cases of sedition and treason, and more than enough for him to get the noose.

Rounding them up would have suppressed the Conservative Propaganda Machine, and allowed the Dems to better control the messaging going into the 2024 election.

Instead, Biden basically checked out of the job after announcing his Covid and Stimulus programs, and stupidly appointed the most feckless Republican to be his AG, perhaps the STUPIDEST Democratic Presidential decision in modern history, who dithered and slow-walked Trump's treason cases as long as he could, giving him a two year head start to run out the clock, which he did, successfully.

In addition, he ignored the many warnings, many coming from the mouths of the criminals themselves, that they intended to rig the election and steal the presidency, and Biden allowed them to do it in front of the entire world, without any interference at all. And when they did, he went along with the ridiculous concept that Trump won the election "fair & square."

The American voters fired MAGA decisively, and expected the new Democratic administration to clean up the mess. Instead of getting justice for America, they tried to make friends with feral animals, and got eaten alive. For his weakness and cowardice, allowing MAGA to rise again, Biden's legacy is in the toilet, and will he will be buried in the bottom 10 of all presidents.

Biden betrayed us, and he's lucky that he won't be joining the MAGAs against the wall with the rest of them. He deserves the firing squad as much as any of them.

Who cares? Trump, and MAGA, would be dead, and that's the objective. What's SCOTUS going to do? Talk about it? Fuck'em.

Like Aldo Rayne in Inglorious Basterds said, when told he'd be shot: "Shot? I don't think so. More like chewed out. I been chewed out before."

Those organizations exist to enrich and protect the elite. We need to erase them from existence, and start over with new services that don't have any personnel from the old ones. If nothing else, starting fresh would allow us to instill good character and priorities into our intelligence services.

There is NO excuse for allowing Trump and his henchmen to roam free after Biden's inauguration. He would have been well within his presidential, constitutional, and legal duties to round them all up and detain them in Guantanamo for extensive interrogation.

Trump had attempted a violent Insurrection only a couple of weeks before. What kind of a NEW national leader takes over, and doesn't do ANYTHING about a serious, active National Security Threat running actively destroying their nation?

Easily the worst case of negligence and incompetence by a Democratic president since WWII.

"We tried nothing, and that didn't work. I think we might be screwed here." - Old school Corporate Democrats.

Yeah, we can come back from this, one way or another. The fact that he can't figure out a way, is why he was a terrible president.

One way was to fire MAGA, and elect an experienced Democrat to be president and get justice for America. Which we did. And then he went on to do literally NOTHING to stop them from rising again.

Why are you pretending like Biden isn't talking specifically about the collapse of whatever is left of American democracy into outright dictatorship? Hungary, North Korea, Russia... whatever you think about America, the crony capitalism of the last 40 - 50 years is nothing compared to Russian oligarchy. In all of American history, nothing even close has existed. And since the beginning of post-war American hegemony, these systems of democratic oppression have always existed "over there". For the very first time, the full dictator experience is coming to America. It's entirely, undeniably new.

I tend to agree with the former president. There is no coming back from this.
