DMC: Run Biden 15 more times you say?

[-] timbuck2themoon@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

I guess more people should've voted for Bernie in 2020.

[-] reddit_sux@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

There were also the superdelegates.

[-] NannerBanner@literature.cafe 1 points 3 weeks ago

Ugh, and here I thought 3 was where it should have all ended. PS2 gameplay was fine, and the story had the 'ending' it needed!

[-] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

It will be 2036 and AOC will make her presidential bid and the DNC will be like "guess we need to get the shovel to dig Biden back up"

[-] infinitevalence@discuss.online 6 points 3 weeks ago

Sure is a good thing that she and her husband got the ball rolling for the Republicans! What would we do without deregulated and monopolistic media, Neo-liberalism globalization that gutted the middle class, deregulated markets that created the sub prime crisis of 2008, and a judicial system that punished people for being poor and/or BIPOC.

She was not wrong, she just was also complicit.

[-] Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 weeks ago

YUP. So much deregulation happened under the Clinton presidency and everyone sings his praises. He's a traitor to his constituents and country.

[-] Windex007@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

The legislative branch are just cowards, period. Don't like the way the SC has interpreted a law? No fucking problem: re-write the law. It's LITERALLY thier fucking job.

[-] NannerBanner@literature.cafe 1 points 3 weeks ago

I've really stopped paying close attention because it's all bullshit, but how many supreme court decisions are based on 'simply' an interpretation of the law, versus using some super stretched out version of the constitution to distort the law?

The people who needed to hear it weren't listening while the rest of us were screaming.

[-] TheYojimbo@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

She was a better candidate. Better than trump.

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

That bar's so low, it's in the Earth's core.

[-] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

SHE WON THE POPULAR VOTE YOU FUCK

[-] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Good thing that's how the winner is decided

[-] lefaucet@slrpnk.net 2 points 3 weeks ago

LOL. The Electoral College would like a word lol

Oh yeah and remember that time in 2000 when the Supreme Court got to decide lol

[-] lauha@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

This is false. Any president in US has the power to do this and in a proper democracy no president should have the power to meddle with the justice system. Sepaeatipn of power and all that.

[-] Spinoza@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 weeks ago

I know people were saying this since at least the 80s and I wasn’t even born. Hillary’s not just stating the obvious, shes rattling off old talking points of the dem platform.

[-] underisk@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 weeks ago

You’re telling me that dems have known about this problem for decades but did nothing but fundraise and campaign on it? How unlike them!

[-] mrmaplebar@fedia.io 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah. I remember saying this shit 10+ years ago too. Jesus fuck I'm tired....

[-] mlg@lemmy.world 0 points 3 weeks ago

Damn that's crazy, maybe you should have supported the popular progressive instead of getting the DNC to gg ez your primary for you lol.

[-] monkeyslikebananas2@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

I know right! We showed her!!!! Her rich old ass is definitely going to suffer the consequences of our inaction now! LOL amirite!?!?

[-] vagrancyand@sh.itjust.works -1 points 3 weeks ago

Her husband's been outed as a pedophile, her legacy boils down to being a whiny sore loser who ran hard right from even Obama's politics and failed, and she personally has ensured no one with the last name clinton will ever hold a political office ever again in the country.

As far as modern consequences for rich people in the US, that's really the best case scenario. She's not poor enough to get Luigi'd, and she's not dark enough to get arrested.

Realistically the same fate is the best case scenario we have for what will happen to Trump, who will never see a jail cell, and the rest of his billionaire friends.

The solution to being in an plutocratic oligarchy turning into a fascist oligarchy is not to support the oligarch that super duper promises not to do bad things to you, just everyone else in the world.

[-] Godric@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

They gutted the Voting Rights Act LITERALLY YESTERDAY, you absolute muppet.

[-] GreenBeanMachine@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

"Progress we made in allowing for this to happen".

Democrats are complicit in all the shit happening. They shit on republicans but then never do anything to change things when they are back in power. Fuck that cunt, even if she was right. A broken clock is correct twice a day too.

[-] Godric@lemmy.world -1 points 3 weeks ago

Democrats lack power -> Republicans do evil shit -> Democrats can't stop them -> Blame the Democrats -> Democrats lack power -> Republicans do evil shit ->

On and on and on. If your house was burning down, you'd blame the firefighter, not the arsonist.

[-] GreenBeanMachine@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

It's more like this:

Funny how republicans always seem to have power to make things worse, but democrats never have enough power to reverse these things.

Almost as if both parties are funded by the same billionaires pushing the same agendas, just in different colors.

You need to stop consuming their propaganda (from both parties).

[-] Godric@lemmy.world 0 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

You need to stop working off of vibes and think about policy. Off the top of my head:

Obamacare, anti-monopoly regulation, non-compete agreements ban, Russia sanctions + Ukraine support, not ignoring covid, women's bodily autonomy, CLIMATE CHANGE

But fuck it, you didn't get ice cream, the total destruction of capitalism, and a blow job on top of that, so now we have AI-enhanced gestapo invading cities. It's very easy to be the enlightened centrist and say "both sides same" when it clearly isn't actually impacting your life.

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 1 points 3 weeks ago

They didn't say both sides were the same they said the Democrats weren't doing enough to fight. Which is true. Democrats are constantly conceding shit and compromising when Republicans want to do shit.

[-] sunrisepirate@piefed.social 0 points 3 weeks ago

Almost as if both parties are funded by the same billionaires pushing the same agendas, just in different colors.

It seems like they did say both sides are the same.

[-] anarchiddy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 weeks ago

The same billionaires with the same agendas can be donors to both parties without those parties being the same

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 1 points 3 weeks ago

Almost as if

They're saying it seems like this because Dems don't fight hard enough.

[-] Ryanmiller70@lemmy.zip 0 points 3 weeks ago

If a Republican president can do it, so could Biden in order to prevent that from happening. Why didn't he? Why didn't Kamala run on stacking the courts in her favor?

[-] glitchdx@lemmy.world 0 points 3 weeks ago

Because the president needs the congress to approve those judges, and the last time team blue had both the presidency and the congress was when Obamacare was passed.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 0 points 3 weeks ago

which was watered down because we had people LIEBERMAN.

[-] vagrancyand@sh.itjust.works -1 points 3 weeks ago

It was 'watered down' because Obama is a Reagan-era conservative that fully believes and has wrote about supporting neoliberal economics (aka trickle down) and was using naive 'progressive' liberals to get elected and take the steam out of popular protest and progressive movements that did threaten the oligarchy. Just a reminder the same exact companies sat in his cabinet that sit in Bush's and Trump's.

There was never any 'Hope,' there was never any 'Yes we can,' there was only 'Please God stop protesting and don't ever realize that with literally 2% of the country freshly homeless due to the 2008 crisis that Obama's future cabinet members directly explicitly caused knowing it would cause a massive economic crash that there are more than enough people to actively revolt against the US government and oligarchy that have absolutely nothing else left to lose.'

There's a reason Biden, one of the most right-wing politicians in the History of the United States, tapped Obama and encouraged him to run for the presidency despite having practically no political, military, or economic experience outside being a mayor and senator for a couple of years.
