"The American experiment endures,"

I would say it just failed. I'm sorry but a system that elects a rapist, a 34 times convicted felon, one who defrauds students, cages children, takes away human rights, praises nazi's and dictators, and this was just the first term. I'm sorry but by any metric I care to meaure it by this is a failed experiment.

"The American Experiment" amazing how full of shit this thinking is, basically american exceptionalism

[-] n1ck_n4m3@lemmy.world 31 points 10 hours ago

Fuck off Biden, now's the time to use that presidential immunity you just got to attack enemies of the state before your term ends. It's legal!

Guy surrendering power says it’s gonna be okay.

Guy taking power says we’re coming for you motherfuckers. Hm, who to believe?

We aren't going to be okay. Stop saying it's going to be okay. Project 25 is not okay, turning Gaza into a crater is not okay, banning abortion is not okay, cutting Medicare is not okay. None of this shit is okay. Stop trying to sit and act like being cordial is going to make the right go, "Well, they're being so nice about it." We fucked up, and we need to face the consequences.

He just means technically we will probably survive. Maybe.

[-] AngryRobot@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

And he's weong.

Why didn’t you prosecute any treasonous criminals? Useless coward.

The "American experiment" as far as I am aware is one of "self-governance".

It arguably has never been tried in earnest since the founding of this country, at very least failed entirely in 2016 with Russia's influence and the zero consequences that arose from that, and was likely dealt a critical blow by the citizens united decision which all but guaranteed that rich people would decide our elections for us in the future.

We voted ourselves into what I'm now pretty convinced is an unshakable oligarchy. You'll get what the rich, international oligarchs want you to have and nothing else. They've built bunkers in New Zealand and the Ozarks for when the consequences come knocking at their doors.

This spineless fuck will be remembered for 1 thing and 1 thing only. Being the useless cunt that sat back and allowed Trump to walk right back in to the Whitehouse.

Considering Gen Z boys voted heavily for Shitler, I don't ever want to hear "OK boomer" again. Gen Z is a generation of infantile incels who refuse to vote for a woman.

[-] Peter1986C@lemmings.world 1 points 6 hours ago

Are you sure that "incense" should not be "incels"?

[-] AngryRobot@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

I almost never use the word incel, so autocorrect changed it. I have a feeling it will learn the word soon eniugh.

Press X to doubt.

I really can't understand the level of "history is over here" most of the West seems to be on. It's a delusion that has to break down eventually, but apparently we're not there yet.

No. We're not

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 22 points 11 hours ago

the "we" he refers to is not us

[-] 1995ToyotaCorolla@lemmy.world 9 points 10 hours ago

His "We" aren't even watching, they're sunbathing off the coast of Cancun

[-] anticurrent@sh.itjust.works 33 points 12 hours ago

By we he means, them and their wealthy friends, and the celebrities they paraded during the last campaign. Struggling people can eat dirt.

[-] pjwestin@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

I was about to downvote until I saw the community.

[-] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 60 points 14 hours ago

And this is exactly what's wrong with the Democrats, and why Biden never should've run. They're too comfortable in their big houses with all their money and privilege. They have no fucking idea what it's like for most Americans, and clearly they don't care because they've never had to. There is no party in the US to fight for regular people, so they didn't vote.

Oh look... it's Genocide Joe.

[-] AngryRobot@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago

Get ready for Uber genocide donnie

[-] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

Now that you mention it, we have genocide nicknames for the Biden and Harris administration but not yet for Trump.

Any suggestions? Needs to be catchy that starts with a T or D

[-] masquenox@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

It works on liberals because they pretend to be the "good" cop. Give something similar to Trump and you'll just be flattering him and his white supremacist base. They want genocide.

3 days ago, it was going to be the last election, the ultimate election, the end times, the end of democracy. Now we'll be fine?

Pre-election Dems and post-election Dems cannot both be right. One of the two is lying.

Joe Biden will be fine. He could care less.

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 8 hours ago

I mean, maybe. I'm calling it that at least one Democratic party figure will get gotten in a show trial.

[-] kreskin@lemmy.world 32 points 15 hours ago

Biden needs to shut up and get back to work appointing judges.
