I still can't believe he got away with this. The US is truly fucked.

Traitorous scum, every last one of them. The fact that he's back in office instead of behind bars is an international embarrassment.

Traitorous scum, every last one of them.

Liberals call them Terrorists

Conservatives call them Freedom Fighters

Here at CBS, you can get the facts and think for yourself. Join us as Bari Weiss sits down for tea and biscuits with a very enthusiastic meth addict and two used car dealer salesmen as they explain what really happened five years ago today. Then come back later for the debate, as we invite a blue haired college student and the world's oldest man to explain why their radical left-wing views can no longer win elections. At CBS, every angle is covered. We Report, You Decide.

Imagine losing two elections to a carnival barker and blaming other people for your failure.

[-] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

Elections aren't a sporting event where a candidate "loses". It's actually the people who are the competing athletes.

The American people chose to elect the child rapist.

I think they're referring to the DNC's insistence on a transparently corporatist neoliberal agenda who's candidates are barely electable versus even open fascists, and their habit of deflecting blame for continual strategic failure onto constituents.

and their habit of deflecting blame for continual strategic failure onto constituents.

It's called a primary. Biden/Kamala were the options because people chose them in the 2016 primary. But even with the DNC picked corporatist that wasn't primaried it shouldn't have mattered because a monkey flinging poop should have been elected over the child rapist. But America chose the child rapist.

What is this mental gymnastic nonsense? Elections are contests that absolutely do have winners and losers. You're also claiming in your first sentence that "elections aren't a sporting event" but then call the people "athletes"

That user is correct that the DNC shares all the blame with the RNC and Trump for what we're now experiencing. They've demonstrated election after election that they're unwilling to govern this country correctly and do what needs to be done to fix the mess we've been falling into for decades. It's always complete inaction, excuses, or half-measures that do little more than generate good PR. If they had accomplished anything truly meaningful in all this time, half the voting population wouldn't be looking to a child rapist as "the better option."

Sorry, I stopped reading where you "both sides".

You're not going to stop fascism by attacking those that are opposing it.

American culture has become rotten. It's all about greed and laziness. The real winner of the last election was laziness. More people didn't vote than voted for either candidate. Then there was those that voted for a fascist under the false belief they would somehow share in the profit from being cruel to others. Over 2/3 of Americans were either hoping to profit from cruelty or were too lazy to prevent it.

I'm not American and I'll tell you that the Democratic party is a completely normal political party in a democratic system. All parties in democratic countries are like that. The reason you hate them is because deep down you just hate democracy.

Americans are incapable of any kind of introspection, so you just look for someone to blame rather than recognize how rotten American culture is. You're just not the brave freedom loving democratic people that you loudly proclaim to the world you are. You're cowardly, greedy, lazy, and hypocritical people. You'll never improve your country if you just go on looking for scapegoats rather than taking a cold hard look at what America is really all about. The first step is admitting you have a problem and you can't do that.

You're also claiming in your first sentence that "elections aren't a sporting event" but then call the people "athletes"

You ignored the important modifier to the sentence which is, "where the candidate loses".

That is it isn't a sporting event between candidates. It is a sporting event between the people. The candidate isn't the athlete. The candidate is the goal that the people kick their ball into.

[-] CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works 0 points 3 months ago

Oh okay "politicians are goals that people kick their ball into" therefore it's okay for Democrats to enable the Republican agenda at every turn. Thanks for clarifying things.

[-] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

okay for Democrats to enable the Republican agenda

It's what people voted for.

[-] K1nsey6@lemmy.world -4 points 3 months ago

As opposed to the senile pedo or the black cop that spoke like an old white liberal?

[-] Mattster_Of_Puppets@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

The senile pedo won and is currently president

[-] Sharkticon@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 months ago

Can't believe how easily he walked into that one.

[-] stylusmobilus@aussie.zone -1 points 3 months ago

I wish I could upvote this again. It’s all they’re doing…blaming others.

They cannot take responsibility for it.

[-] K1nsey6@lemmy.world -1 points 3 months ago

And they'll repeat those same failures for midterms and 2028.

[-] stylusmobilus@aussie.zone 1 points 3 months ago

More than likely.

Democrats won’t run anyone who’ll bring in change, not enough will vote in primaries to put those who would bring change in and they’ll all shift blame from themselves for the actions their country takes under the current president, who they elected.
