Biden: The American people need a message of hope in these dark times

The American people: goddamn it you senile bastard we needed an action plan not platitudes

"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.

Right, I barely scratched the surface.

"Something I hope we can do no matter who you voted for is see each other not as adversaries but as fellow Americans, Bring down the temperature."

No. Human rights aren't a disagreement. We can disagree on whether or not we enjoyed a movie or on what pizza toppings we prefer. But if the disagreement is that you want to kill me or people I care about, you are, by definition, my adversary.

“The American experiment endures”

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 84 points 4 days ago (16 children)

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.

Rich dems and republicans, we’re all friends you see. We only differ in the degree of our ideology. We’re not actually opposed. We’ll all be fine. In fact we’re all going to the country club for a round of golf and some champagne later today. You poor suckers are screwed as always, but that’s life.

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.

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.

[–] capital@lemmy.world 25 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I think that may have been up to voters. And we fucked it.

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!

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.

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.

"I know people are still hurting, but things are changing rapidly. Together we've changed America for the better. Now we have 74 days to finish the term, our term. Let's make every day count."

Jesus fucking Christmas. Nothing will penetrate his perfect shield of fantasy.

[–] Jimmycrackcrack@lemmy.ml 26 points 4 days ago (4 children)

Well I mean, what would you say in that position? It's hardly going to help any to come out and announce that everything is fucked and you'd probably also be pretty disinclined to say nothing of note was achieved in your own administration or that there isn't really enough time to do much of anything in the remaining period.

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

What a fucking tool.

Good job, Biden. You care so much about your legacy? Guess what: your legacy is now “one of the hubristic egotistical dipshits that made so many unforced errors that you basically opened the fucking door for the fascists to take over”. You’ll be remembered alongside the likes of Neville Chamberlain and Paul von Hindenburg. You absolute fucking chode. You lost the fucking republic.

Says the neoliberal shitbag who appointed a conservative traitor to NOT prosecute Trump. The same shitbag who should NOT have run in the first fucking place. And now the DNC is going to tack even further right.

Historically, fascism is only defeated through violence, but in this case, that violence needs to happen inside our own house. The DNC needs to purge itself of neoliberals and conservatives just in case there's another shot at salvaging democracy. DNC neoliberals are the deadly threat closest to us.

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.

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.

lmao even.
