The number of people who are seemingly ignorant of any of the actual politics of Joseph is alarming. Democratic aligned politics has devolved to the same level of Republican politics in the sense of metrics and language. "Economy good" is an absolutely wild way to summarize Joe's politics and the impact on politics that he had. He was a conservative man. From his earliest days as a politician, he was conservative. He played a not insignificant role in creating the modern political landscape. Including in essentially running interference for Clarence Thomas during his initial candidacy for the Supreme Court (Thomas had dozens of credible allegations of sexual harassment and sexual misconduct). Biden was notoriously pro colonialism throughout the entirety of his political career, including ac active support of Israel going back to the 70s. He spent decades campaigning on anti-crime discourse that prioritized higher budgets for police to spend targeting minority communities, a fact he was absolutely aware of.

The political legacy of this man is not "Economy good". It is a lifelong career against workers rights, minority rights and pushing conservative agendas within the democratic party against leftist ones. His term as president did not see any degree of preparation for the rise of fascism. He played a significant role in the failures of the democratic party during the election campaign. Refusing to step aside, proving his own incompetence over and over again, refusing to push a progressive platform, refusing to denounce colonialism and genocide, and ultimately playing into many of the same political talking points of American fascists. Joe Biden is a stain on American history. He spent his last 4 years of political relevancy fighting against workers rights and protecting international genocidal institutions. All the while he made an absolute mockery of the institutions of political power in the united states and helped truly ring the funeral bell of American trust in federal institutions.

Let his failure be a galvanizing lesson about all the failures of American liberalism. Leftism is the only true political opposition to fascism. This election was not lost because democrats went woke. It was lost because they refused to change. It was lost because of their own blatant hypocrisy and refusal to campaign on working class politics and humanitarianism. Liberal conservatism handed the reigns to fascism.

this was a good read. the democratic party isn't as left as it seems to want people to think

Libs are willing to support genocide as long as their personal privilege is maintained. That's a big part of how liberalism supports fascism. Trump is just a continuation of Biden.

Yeah, leftists would never support genocide in order to protect their own power. Except for that one time.... Or that other time... And also...

But i'm sure you'd never see leftist college students TODAY running around LARPing as murderous ethno-nationalists.

But man, those liberals... Crazy, right?!

Same old song in every country. Trying to talk actual economics with someone who votes for the right shows how little they care about facts and how much their decisions are based on feelings and what they're told by the people they consider their superiors.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 hours ago

Which is why you should never talk to any of them. It's like playing chess with a pigeon.

[–] [email protected] 88 points 21 hours ago (4 children)

It might have been nice if Ol Biden had actually given a shit about the coup attempt and pushed to have the people at the top of the food chain tried for it. We might have avoided this whole situation if Trump had been tried while he was still persona non grata. Instead, his admin chose to treat it like any other criminal enterprise instead of the existential threat it was. Now we are all paying for it and I doubt the country will survive.

These people are co-workers and collaborators. They're not putting each other in jail.

They be brainwashed by the education system.

I was taught that if a bully bullies you, you're supposed to not fight back, and only talk to the adults who will give them a stern warning.

The adult version is going to the police/courts and reporting someone for harassement.

The politician version is just apointing someone in the "middle" of your party and the opponent party's political views (Merrick Garland) and then don't do much investigation because it would seem like "persecuting political opponents", or breaks "norms and traditions"

Like motherfucker, if a bully hit me, I'll beat his/her ass (arrest trump). If I ran a school club, I'm gonna ban them (14th amendment disqualification). If was doing group projects, I'm fucking kicking them out, or I'll leave and just do it myself (secession).

Fuck the BS school admin "just ignore the bully"

Fuck that, beat the bully. If everyone just beat up the school bully on sight, they wouldn't be bullying any longer.

Biden was too old or naive to recognize that the era of civility in politics was over. At the very least, SCOTUS ruling that presidents are essentially kings should've kicked him in the ass. I guess thx for the economy Joe, but it wasn't nearly enough.

To be fair, a large majority of Americans didn't acknowledge the threat until very recently. In general, politicians do not go for bold moves unless they feel they have a large support from the population.

I noticed this year before already too, and if you look at the graphs it's just impossible to understand how much of an idiot you have to be to vote Republican.

Then Sarah Palin came by and it really showed bottom of the barrel, or so I thought.

Now we're here....

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 hours ago

... and it really showed bottom of the barrel

And then someone knocked from beneath.

Be careful saying this around here, you'll be labeled a lib, crucified, and stalked by tankies.

Democrats main motive while in power is also to make money for themselves, in a less stupid and obnoxious way than Trump.

This meme is liberal propaganda, how the Democrats booming economy helped the average american ?

Spoiler it has not, but weapons manufacturers getting those billions of public spending to support Israël. And I'm sure the friendly and nice people that are Democrats do have so shares in them.

What a clown show they just have nothing to do and they'll end up getting elected and doing the same thing. That is if the whole countries has not turned to civil war before the next election of course.

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

Based. Tankies can blow me.

Actually sweatie there's no difference between liberals and conservatives, Trump isn't doing anything the LIBS wouldn't have done and minorities are no worse off than they were before, also Bernie is controlled opposition and a shitlib

/s

The libs who led us directly into fascism now have nothing to offer but sarcasm and condescension... Pretty typical. You forgot to blame the voters though.

It's time to post the two Santas again.

http://www.milwaukeeindependent.com/thom-hartmann/two-santas-strategy-gop-used-economic-scam-manipulate-americans-40-years/

First, the Two Santas strategy dictates, when Republicans control the White House they must spend money like a drunken Santa and cut taxes to run up the U.S. debt as far and as fast as possible.

This produces three results: it stimulates the economy thus making people think that the GOP can produce a good economy; it raises the debt dramatically; and it makes people think that Republicans are the “tax-cut Santa Clauses.”

Second, when a Democrat is in the White House, Republicans must scream about the national debt as loudly and frantically as possible, freaking out about how “our children will have to pay for it!” and “we have to cut spending to solve the crisis!” Shut down the government, crash the stock market, and damage US credibility around the world if necessary to stop Democrats from spending money.

Confirmed, Drump crossed the streams lmao

Is the enemy both strong and weak in fascism? Fascist societies rhetorically cast their enemies as "at the same time too strong and too weak".

You ever notice how the Nazis talked about the Jews being at the same times in control of the entire world economy and various plots and organizations while at the same time stating that they were an inferior race that needed to be stamped out because they were too incompetent to self-govern?
