it's not Biden.

It's the party.

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.

If voting worked they would abolish voting. Both parties have the same masters.

Keep setting Tesla dealerships on fire, the only things capitalists respond to are forced devaluation events

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Like how suddenly all the milquetoast candidates capitulated to Biden just before Super Tuesday when Bernie was winning states.

Always weird how they use dirty tactics for the left but never the fascists...

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 days ago

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.

May as well get ready for president Ivanka Trump in 2028. The DNC is its own worst enemy.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 days ago

Oh, that'll really help.

Somewhere in DC, there's a speedbump that they should name after Biden.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Why has the left been floundering for the past dozen years? It doesn't feel like the common man has anyone to represent us.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago

Take your pick/all:

$$$/ lobbyists/ citizen united/ Dems deepthroating Corpo influence/ dinosaur leaders pruning any progressive candidates

The guy that appointed Republican Merrick Garland to AG can fuck right off forever

[–] [email protected] 167 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Oh my fuck.

get out

get the fuck out, Biden

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.

[–] [email protected] 95 points 5 days ago (4 children)

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.”

The hubris is just absolutely infuriating

30,000+ people showed up today for the Bernie/AOC rally today in Colorado.

If only there was a way forward….. Says the Democrats

Just retire already. I still regret my vote for him.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

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?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago (2 children)

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.

Bernie and AOC are the new direction. Biden wants back in to stop them. Fuck Biden!

Make no mistake:

This is not "help." This is the neoliberal fascist collaborator backlash against help.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 4 days ago

It honestly feels like the Democratic Party is doing everything they can to lose.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 days ago (3 children)

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.

Dude's figured out his legacy isn't what he thought it would be and is trying to come back and "fix" it. Fucking horrible person for his entire adult life.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I don’t think it’s that. I think he truly thinks he’s had a good career and fought the good fight. He’s so out of touch, but he wants to help because he heard there’s a problem. Probably don’t even understand how his help might not be a good thing.

Daily reminder of our planned strike. Together we'll show them all our strength. Sign your strike card today!

https://generalstrikeus.com/

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 days ago (2 children)

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.

Fuck off Joe!

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.

RETIRE YOU OLD FUCKS

[–] [email protected] 32 points 4 days ago

yea sure more of the old stuff should help

[–] [email protected] 24 points 4 days ago

Fuck. Off. Grandpa.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 4 days ago
[–] [email protected] 31 points 5 days ago

Yes please prop up the dead husk of Joe Biden on a stage like weekend at Bernie's. That'll really embolden the base.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago (16 children)

These comments smell tankie af

Biden is giving free money to the progressive party far in advance of the midterms, I say we lock in and join the parade.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Which progressive party would that be? Is there a viable progressive party? Is it in the room with us now?
