VERY STABLE, in all caps, apparently. Because that's how stable people type all the time. You're also not supposed to take anything he says seriously, y'know...like every other stable and speaking person. That's how that works.
Right? Who takes what one of the most powerful people in the world says seriously? If you don’t like it it’s just a prank, bro! Comedy is so back! You’re being sent to Libya or Rwanda or El Salvador for a sketch! Why aren’t you laughing?
Yep an Administration is more than just the president. It's the competent people that surround him. Instead of having a president suffering from lapses surrounded by some of the best most competent people. Now we have an idiot surrounded by sycophants and sociopaths. This is so much better/s
As opposed to the sycophants that hid biden's mental decline?
That you think the two are remotely similar, shows how disingenuous you are. That you imply that this was unusual or even noteworthy at this point. Implies your ignorance of even relatively recent history. You do realize you've breached your instances echo chambers.
I never actually advocated for either candidate. But we told you it was going to be a Democrat or Republican regardless of what we wanted. But people like yourself actively ignored what was actually on the ballot. Instead campaigning to assist the fascist. Which is unsurprising. Someone from a pro authoritarian instance feeling more comfortable getting a fellow authoritarian elected.
We all want better. But we'll never achieve it. Because so many of you fail to understand the basic assignment or options available. Doing more harm than good in all the uninformed flailing.

He's trash, but liberals refusing to see the obvious led to where we are, refusing to hold them accountable led to where we are now
Liberals played their part, that's true. The problem is people like yourself don't acknowledge your part in it.

You will not be content until everyone to your left and only your left is silent so your parties can move right like you want.
You're not to my left. Not by a long shot. Your just ignorant or disingenuous.
Though please do tell. What part of pointing out that the genocide in Palestine wasn't on the ballot. And that regardless of who we wanted or what we wanted. It was either going to be a democrat or a republican that would win. And we would definitely just like one of them winning more. What part of that makes me economically right wing?

I don't really believe that centrists have a preference as long as they got their genocide. As far as I'm concerned, this is just gloating that you have two parties representing the interests of the genocidal.
What part of that makes me economically right wing?
It's neat how you have to add "economically" because you know that it doesn't get much further to the right than genocide support.
Be consistent in something other than your hypocrisy. How is someone a Centrist or right wing economically simply by acknowledging the outcomes of right wing systems?
How is genocide support anything but right wing?
How is acknowledging reality, acknowledging the only possible outcomes of a right wing system, supporting anything? Can you be any more cringe?

the significance here is that one of the 2 major parties attempted to push him as a presidential candidate until his mental condition became publicly unavoidable and would lead to further questions of why the genocide was allowed persist.
this also explains why trump was never prosecuted and barred from becoming the next president and sweeping these questions under the rug to re-frame the focus of discussion on trump is a clear appeal to the pointless and neverending culture war that prevents us from fighting the class struggle that tried to push biden into the presidency and allow trump to take it.
K, but he’s no longer the president.
And since centrists are determined to keep making the same mistakes, we can't talk about his mistakes.
Are you talking about steering a ship or randomly dictating ideology?

> We tried to warn you
> .ml user
You’ve made 10 posts on Lemmy and 6 of them are shitting on Biden by name. 2 of the remaining 4 are shitting on Harris by name. Kind of sounds like an unhealthy obsession, in multiple ways.
Shit needs to be called out, Democrats sure as fuck won't do it.
Trump admin just announced they're ethnic cleansing 1m Palestinians from Gaza, but thank you for holding the memory lapse thing to account 🫡
You mean the ethnic cleansing that Biden also supported?
Yeah, maybe Biden should be called out for that.
Ethnic cleansing enabled by democrats that claim they supported a ceasefire when they did no such thing. An ethnic cleansing enabled by liberal voters parroting those lies to people that were calling them out

Why not shit on a terrible president, and a terrible candidate that directly led to Trump getting re-elected? Maybe if the dems had been willing to call out their own, we wouldn't be where we are now.

Warn us about what ?
I mean ... so what did Biden do as a response ?
Didn't Biden step aside instead of threatening to invade allies ?
Biden was given the same unlimited power from a SCOTUS ruling for any official act the POTUS could not be criminalized. And Biden put aside power and force for the greater good of the Republic.
But then again Biden has always been more a new Cincinnatus than a new Caesar.
Democrats refusing to see what was in front of them led to trump running and winning. They lied about his mental capacity, they lied about a ceasefire, theyve endlessly lied. And those of us pointing it out were accused of helping Republicans. Turns out VBNMW helped trump.

People talk about Biden's mental decline as if it matters. Trump has mental decline too. One President's handlers were able to pass laws and get shit done, the others' well...

He only backed out because the donor class forced him out
