Yeah, nah, it's not Jacks fault.
Oh it sure the fuck is. And also every fucking imbecile who provides excuses, cover, and interference for Democrats who fail to deliver. Making excuses for the bad-faith management on the part of Democrats is as bad if not worse than just outright supporting fascism, because it precludes us our ability to actually do anything to stop this rightward shift.
The Democrats are not your friends. They are not your buddies. They aren't even on your team, in-spite of their ever present marketing to the contrary. They use the fact that you think they are on your team and fighting for you to sit on their hands. Then the worms crawl out and defend their inaction as if its some forgone conclusion and they are merely victims of the environment that they find themselves in. They did not pursue Trump in any meaningful way that would disturb the system or the sensitivities of the neoliberal managerial class because they never intended there to be real justice. If justice came at the cost of upsetting the status quo of how power is brokered in Washington, then justice gets a back seat.
The rise of fascism, the failure of justice, the fact that Trump is coming back to power: Its 100% due to how Democrats have (failed) to govern, and failed to engage in a meaningfully democratic way.
Nope. Jack Smith did a good job. His boss Merrick Garland fucked it up by waiting way to long to appoint a special prosecutor. And Biden deserves some blame for that too in appointing Garland and it not wanting to appear to "interfere".
Yes it is 100% the fault of the police that burglars broke into your house and stole your stuff! /s
Well, at least Palestine is going to be okay now that genocide Joe and Kill'emAll Kamala are out of office...
Biggest /S ever.
Yeah garlan fucked up, Biden fucked up, Jacks name is on this, but he wasn't the person calling the shots. It could have been anyone else's name on the docket, but he got the short end of the stick. The democrats as an entity failed, absolutely, they aren't your friends, I agree, Mueller, Smith, aren't to blame for the collapse of the American justice system. That is my point.
Forget about how badly the fumbled all the Trump charges. They are still "looking" for people 4 years later who they got crystal clear face shots of. Every aspect of it is a disgrace. Agree with everything you said.
They aren’t even pretending to be in your team unlike Trump! The guy at least dressed up as a McDonald’s worker and a bin man for a bit!
Naw, dems hope that the contrary is going to scare the people into voting for them; but sadly it just doesn’t!
Dude nobody is voting for Dems in order to do any f*cking personal favors for them. We are voting to do a favor for ourselves and the country because Traitorapist Trump and the GOP is 100x worse. The last 3 Dem presidents all raised tax on the rich and/or corporations. Why would you NOT vote for that?
Not to be misunderstood, I hope an angry mob is going pleasure Trump with a lamp pole?
I really don’t think the dems did and I can’t find any info on the contrary… Could you give me some sauce? Biden did talk about taxing the rich and the news orgs retaliated by continuously airing his geriatric moments on repeat, while Trumps went pretty much under the radar
Even beyond that, they're all part of the same big club. Something like Jimmy Carter's funeral was a perfect chance to make a completely empty gesture and at least pretend that you're actually treating Trump like the existential threat to the entire US you kept claiming he was. But not only was he invited, Trump and Obama were casually talking and laughing with each other. It's all just empty theatre, both parties serve the same interests at the end of the day, the only difference is how overtly they systematically strip your rights away. They let each other be the boogeyman for their voters and then trade back and forth slightly undoing the last administrations policies but never fully enough to revert all of them.
