Oh my fuck.
You lost the whole show, you simple fuck. You handed the republic to the fascists. You did NOTHING to stop them. You shook his fucking hand and gave him tea. You couldn’t campaign to save your own fucking life, and your meddling played a major role in your successor failing (though Harris does not get a pass here either). If I never see your name - or the Clinton name, for that matter - ever again in my life, it’ll be too soon.
No, no. It’s worse. They did more than nothing. They specifically held back from prosecuting him because they wanted to run against trump. So Biden could attempt to stay in power by saying “oh it has to be me I’m the only one who’s beaten him.”
The hubris is just absolutely infuriating
It's not hubris though. They know what they are doing and they don't care because they won't be the ones hurt by it. They would legitimately rather Trump be president than win by having to adopt any kind of actually progressive policy. This is what all of their actions have shown us. Don't give them a pass for incompetence, they are just as culpable for the situation we find ourselves in today.
Agreed.
It's wild that Biden's arrogance and conceit was a more important concern than winning the election. Everyone around him knew his brain was fucked.
He's probably more like a young child emotionally right now from mental decline, shouldnt have been allowed to be president.
It honestly feels like the Democratic Party is doing everything they can to lose.
30,000+ people showed up today for the Bernie/AOC rally today in Colorado.
If only there was a way forward….. Says the Democrats
Bernie isn't what I would call a spring chicken
It would be nice to have someone who doesn't look like they are going to die any second.
Bernie and AOC are the new direction. Biden wants back in to stop them. Fuck Biden!
Make no mistake:
Fuck. Off. Grandpa.
yea sure more of the old stuff should help
They must be saving Hillary for when things get really bad
Michael Dukakis is their ace in the hole.
I would joke about Al Gore but he's definitely too far left
Dude's figured out his legacy isn't what he thought it would be and is trying to come back and "fix" it. Fucking horrible person for his entire adult life.
I don’t think it’s that. I think he truly thinks he’s had a good career and fought the good fight. He’s so out of touch, but he wants to help because he heard there’s a problem. Probably don’t even understand how his help might not be a good thing.
Oh, that'll really help.
Somewhere in DC, there's a speedbump that they should name after Biden.
Daily reminder of our planned strike. Together we'll show them all our strength. Sign your strike card today!
I read through that whole thing. What is the demand? It's just general hate against the trump administration? I'm all in favor but unless the strike has specific legal actionable demands what is the point? Even under the "demands" section of their FAQ it lists a bunch of vague "good" things that they want (all of which I'm in favor of) but says it won't get into specifics until later.
You do the strike, it panics the ruling class, and then what? There's nothing they've been informed of that they can do. No line that tells them "you can put an end to this if you do XYZ". Nothing to tell the people whether the strike succeeded or failed. What will that get? A bunch of people who conclude that the strike didn't work and they need food so they go back to their jobs. Next time the strike comes around, even if it has demands this time, the obvious thought is that it didn't work last time so why would it work this time and distrust in the people and political ideology that started this strike in the first place.
In my opinion, a movement like this is defined exclusively by their policies and demands. Without those it's just people throwing a tantrum.
What a weird coincidence that, just as AOC and Bernie begin a wildly successful tour of the country, we start hearing about the Biden's wanting to help lead the party or Kamala being the the top choice for 2028.
May as well get ready for president Ivanka Trump in 2028. The DNC is its own worst enemy.
Like how suddenly all the milquetoast candidates capitulated to Biden just before Super Tuesday when Bernie was winning states.
Always weird how they use dirty tactics for the left but never the fascists...
Or how they delayed announcing a winner in Iowa, rigged at least one delegate coin flip, and eventually anointed Buttigieg the winner even though Bernie received more votes.
Yes please prop up the dead husk of Joe Biden on a stage like weekend at Bernie's. That'll really embolden the base.
Fuck off Joe!
Anyone over the age of 55 needs to be in an advisory role, not a leadership role. It is literally the same fucking leadership today as it was 20 years ago.
RETIRE YOU OLD FUCKS
it's not Biden.
It's the party.
it needs a culling. absolute decimation. vote nearly all of them out. you know the very few that should stay. erase the rest from history.
dude if a republican unwittingly says something that doesn't call for death of trans people they'll be immediately ousted. democrats out here capitulating to nazis. be a little republican. get them out.
If voting worked they would abolish voting. Both parties have the same masters.
Keep setting Tesla dealerships on fire, the only things capitalists respond to are forced devaluation events
I’d rather it was someone else. AOC. Bernie. Anyone in that vein.
But if he’ll get the Dems to rally and DO SOMETHING? Fuck it. Give it a try. Maybe it will work.
What fundraising is he referring to though??
Midterms.
Governance is a thing of the past, it's all campaigning all the time now. Why do you think they fail so hard to accomplish anything? If they actually fix things they have to find something new to run on. It's like studios who focus on sequels and reboots, it's a known quantity. They know people will show up for those platform positions, so they don't want to remove them as an option.
We desperately need new blood in the Democratic party - people who understand how to actually work for working class voters and to communicate that and earn back people's trust.
Joe's a good man, but his brand of 'actions speak louder than words' does NOT work in the Trump era.
Can you please add citations for "Joes a good man"? Please dont mention corvettes or dogs.
It's not struggling to find a direction, it's going in the opposite direction of Biden...
Which is a good thing considered that was bankrupt state parties thru victory fund then claim a president has zero power and can't do anything till it's time to campaign for the next election.
You can't spend 3.5 years telling people the presidency doesn't matter then do a 180 for an election.
Fark off. We're not giving you guys a goddamn thing. You are WAY too comfortable with doing nothing and compromising with 100% concentrated evil. I'll be voting for candidates who were born AFTER the Battle of the Bulge.
The guy that appointed Republican Merrick Garland to AG can fuck right off forever
They still think all they need to do is more fundraising. The Democratic party is cooked.
Democratic Party struggling to find a new direction
Here, I can help:

They already have chosen a new direction.
Unsurprisingly and in their tone-deaf character they have chosen the worst option.
"embrace patriotism" ban far-left candidate questionnaires and refuse to participate in forums that create ideological purity tests” , etc...
I really hope this wakes up people to vote 3rd party, they do not represent working class people and never have.
LOL, Dems, how about you prove you can do anything useful first, and then ask for money. You're a disgrace.
You're not prepaid cell phone service.
