I'm glad to see i've been pronouncing it right all these years.
The Dems don't even play by the rules. They play by some made up rules that exist only in their heads and boil down to "you're not allowed to oppose the Republicans in any way that matters". There's tons of legal and ethical stuff Biden could have done in the last four years and here we are, sitting on our asses in the sinking ship, waiting for the water to rush in and drown us all.
When you control all the conversation normal people see and get to define all the terms then you can say any old lie and nobody can challenge you.
I've had an ADP employer in the past and when i tried it prompted me for some additional personal info so this did not work for me.
The problem, i think, is that if they said that outright their workers might wise up and unionize or something.
Yep, that's for sure the culture he wants. Obedience, but excellence.
Not only them. Everyone will suffer, including Trump (etc). The real fear is that one side "wins" and gets to do whatever they want.
There's always a choice. There's always the possibility of change. The billionaires and party leaders are few, they require our continued cooperation to do these things. We could stop if we wanted. What that would look like is impossible to say but a different world is possible.
Gonna be honest, i think Biden could have beaten Trump. I don't blame him for stepping down (though if he had done so sooner i think it would have been better) but i think he had at least as much chance as Harris, maybe more. That's purely strategic, though. I think the calls for him to step down were coming from a position of weakness and fear and were interpreted as such by the electorate.
He could have easily won if he did something about Gaza other than "support genocide" but here we are, at the (current) end of a long string of such decisions.
We see with the UHC shooting how much anger there is for the inequities in this country, it would be easy to tap into that.
I mean, getting rid of Franken was reasonable. Refusing to challenge the Republican creeps has... well... resulted in a government of mostly creeps and that's not where i want to be. (Admittedly that specific piece is not specifically the Democratic Party's fault, though they could have done more. Not using the moral leverage they got by booting Franken was an unforced error.)
