Misogynist bullshit. Very funny.

US had to leave this half way. There was still one senile old geezer left.

Joe Biden has an opportunity to do something very very funny with a shotgun called Official Acts.

They shoulda run Walz for prez

apparently lots of people didn't even realize biden dropped out until they saw the ballot. what the us needs is basic and free education.

I was at a coffee place drive-through a couple of months ago and they always leave the window open there, so I heard them chatting inside and one of them was not even aware Biden was president. She literally said, "I thought Trump was the president."

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

there's a certain kind of privilege in that. like, life must be so good for people to not even bother knowing who's president.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 hours ago

Did you ever read 1984? The proles don't care because their lives have continued on as normal. It is definitely its own kind of privilege, but you're also talking about someone who is making a tiny income working at a coffee shop. She's poor and uneducated, which will continue to be to her benefit. I didn't see her, but she's probably white too since this is Indiana.

She's still a woman though.

[–] zalgotext 7 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Jesus Christ, seriously? The amount of political ads we were bombarded with for 6 months leading up to November, and people didn't realize Biden wasn't running?

Of you ask me, this man is the reason for all of this. Bernie would have won reelection yesterday. Nearly anyone would have.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (1 children)

Just imagine if he had stuck to his promise of being a one term president and didn't try to run for reelection.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Can someone link a single moment where he said this?

I don't remember it, but it has been four years.

[–] iwndwyt 5 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

No, because he never said it directly just hinted at it:

Asked in October if he would only serve one term if elected, the former vice president told the Associated Press that he wouldn't make that promise but he wasn't deeply committed to seeking a second term.

"I feel good and all I can say is, watch me, you'll see," Biden said. "It doesn't mean I would run a second term. I'm not going to make that judgment at this moment."

However there were several advisors on his campaign that said it:

"If Biden is elected, he's going to be 82 years old in four years and he won't be running for reelection," a prominent adviser to the campaign told Politico.

[–] brbposting 1 points 2 hours ago

I mean, come on. Imagine his debate performance in 2024. Dude would be absolutely ancient. That’d just be embarrassing for a great man,

the advi^/s^or continued.

[–] [email protected] 141 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (5 children)

It wasn't just this man, it was the entire Democratic Party. Remember well that in the four years leading up to the election, while the Republican party was playing 6-D chess trying to figure out every possible avenue they could use to sieze power, the Dems decided their best chance at defeating Trump was running Sleepy Joe Biden.

[–] [email protected] 92 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (2 children)

They did Bernie fucking dirty in 2016.

Then Biden knew he could run on name recognition alone and trounce Bernie in 2020. He knew people were pining for the Obama days and played off that nostalgia.

Fuck Hillary Clinton, fuck Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, Kamala Harris is okay, fuck Joe Biden, and fuck the DNC. There's no reason they shouldn't run a progressive candidate, but it's clear they're allergic to winning elections.

Also, did anyone seem to notice that "weird" dropped out of campaign messaging in the last couple months following the nom? Can't help but think the DNC was behind that. Calling them weird was their kryptonite, even if Kamala Harris essentially said, "I'd do nothing different from Joe."

Joe Biden was a perfectly okay president. He was pretty invisible for the most part. He was a boring president. But he didn't bring the FIRE Bernie had in 2016 and 2020. He ran at a time when he KNEW he would win because Bernie was too far to the left for the DNC to be comfortable, and for that, I consider him a coward.

We didn't deserve a President Sanders, but holy shit did we ever NEED him. And yes, I am coping pretty hard right now.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 14 hours ago

The liberal elite would rather see a fascist dictatorship, than a progressive leftist democracy, as one of those endangers their wealth and power.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Everyone says they did Bernie dirty in 2016, but no one ever brings up how in 2020, the establishment dems all dropped out of the race in exchange for cabinet positions to rally around the elder statesman Biden—when Bernie was winning the primaries.

That, in my opinion, is far dirtier and a much bigger “fuck you” to leftists/progressives/humanists than 2016.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (1 children)

I brought that up, literally minutes ago. 100%

Biden was getting trounced. The party was embarrassed, so they made a bunch of backroom deals and sharpened their knives. Then Liz Warren stuck her blade in Sanders' back on live TV.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I was just pointing out that you said they did Bernie dirty in 2016 and then said in 2020 Biden knew he could beat Bernie on name rec alone. I was just clarifying what I think was the bigger betrayal.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 13 hours ago

Totes, I wasn't disagreeing

Well, ideally Bernie would have won reelection in 2020 so he wouldn't have been able to run this time.

He was doing worse, wasn't he?

[–] [email protected] 43 points 1 day ago (5 children)

I think we woulda had our cheeks clapped either way.

[–] [email protected] 56 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The only way to win was going full throttle progressive and saying fuck you to Israel. Such an anti establishment display would have rivalled people's (idiotic) perception of Trump. But instead she spent the last 3 months courting Republicans. Losing strat from the get-go.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

Looking at exit polls, people were far more concerned with the economy than anything else. I don't think Israel mattered much to average people. Biden/Harris got fucked with pandemic inflation and people are too dumb to realize it had nothing to do with them. And that will be further reinforced because inflation is under control now so Trump will look great having done nothing whatsoever.

Bruh if you're still giving a shit about what any pre-election polls were saying after they've repeatedly failed to predict so many elections I don't know what to tell you.

I said it before he stepped down- America is too misogynist and racist to vote in Harris. Even the economic left. Would Biden have done better? I can't say. But I do think it's pretty damning that Harris didn't even win the popular vote like Biden and Hillary did.

And yet despite all the warning signs his hubris disrupted the democratic process and progressives were once again told to fall in line and back a candidate who campaigned on appealing to the center-right.

The Dems have let down the American people, again.

[–] iAmTheTot 10 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I'm not really interested in making excuses for the 70+ million Americans that voted for a racist, sexist, felon fraud and rapist.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

You can certainly harbor contempt for the American people who choose such a morally bankrupt coalition while also recognizing that the oppositional movement has repetitively failed to inspire its own voter base to turn out.

The fact remains that the Dems have thrice now run on a platform of unity and forsaken the will of the Left in an attempt to appeal to those who would happily annihilate the Left in pursuit of its own goals.

[–] timbuck2themoon 4 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

If youre so fucking stupid as to not vote while a fascist is running then you deserve everything and more.

People need to realize this isn't fucking Christmas and you simply pick the least bad option or you end up here. At least those lazy fucks can feel smug while we're all in the shit.

Dumb fucks.
