I think it's a fucking asshole for not throwing citizen Trump in a deep dark prison cell the second he stepped out of the White House.
-
If Biden had any balls At.All. Trump would have been in prison Jan 7th
-
That seems like a really dangerous precedent to set.
-
-
The democrats must be so giddy. They don't need to move to the left one iota as long as Trump and MAGA is fucking up this bad.
No hope. No change. Corporatist#67 for 2028!
-
LOL. As if MAGA weren't allergic to rationality.
-
Can we have Clinton's economy again?
-
A tech bubble that will pop in 2 years and a real estate bubble that will pop in 8? I think we already do.
-
The true death of American manufacturing, an overvalued tech bubble that will bring down the global economy, and massive deregulation of financial rules that will end in the worst financial crisis since the Great depression?
That's the economy you want?

joker!

It was in denial
Mocking/shaming people will never be a viable political strategy

It seems to work just fine for the right, so I'm not sure why there's a double standard on the left. The truth is, it's not really a problem for most people. They just use it and any other excuse they can to justify voting against the left party or leftist politicians. This is often because they support racist, misogynistic, or authoritarian ideas that sound bad when said out loud. So instead, they look for reasons to say the other person is bad and can't be voted for.
I expect some people will respond by trying to point out how bad the left is over the right for some reason, which only ends up proving my point. It's likely that anyone who does this is just trying to deflect from their own side's issues rather than addressing the real problems.
Edit just to add: Saying the left is bad is one thing, saying they are worse than the right or shit only smells when they do it is just ludicrous...

If wealth inequality is getting worse and the president tells me that I'm doing great despite my proportional wealth being less than a medieval peasant then that means the President is lying.
The difference between religiously indoctrinated bigots and the college educated is you can't lie to to college educated and have them love you for it.
If they were honest about the economy, instead of trying to gaslight people who can see they are being gaslit, then they would have had more support.
But aknowledging wealth inequality means Neoliberals aknowledging their role in perpetuating wealth inequality, and forcing their rich doners to make concessions, which they are to cowardly to do.

As a foreigner I think all American presidents on my lifetime have been pieces of shit and America is a hopeless hell hole. Fucking 10 corporations in a trench coat pretending to be a government.
-
Exactly this. The problems with America predate Trump and his administration. The difference is that Trump and Co. are what used to be satirical caricatures of the idea of American exceptionalism, as if taking Team America The World Police seriously.

Yeah I really wish there was some kind of patent reform so a company can only hold a patent long enough for the work to create the innovation to be worth the pursuit of it.
Instead they will use patents to stifle innovation and stop people from being able to compete with new ideas based on an original innovation. The patent system was supposed to foster innovation, not stifle it.
Ive never seen any politician on any side do anything about the aggressive use of patents. Companies will buy out companies just for the patents. Its obviously a big issue that reworked would make it harder for a corporation to thrive without continuing to innovate and provide what the people really want or need.
-
Yeah it was decided initially so that the creator could still benefit from it and recoup r&d costs before a third party could copy their design without the r&d and be able to sell the product cheaper.
But now companies just patent any idea without using them just so other companies can't.
If a company doesn't use their patent within a certain time frame it should be completely revoked.

This is the sanest comment.
Biden's economy was shit too, which is what made it possible for Trump to broaden his coalition so significantly.
-
It wasn't though. Fucking people just swallowed the trump/Republican/MS bullshit. Profits were up, unemployment was down, violent crime was down, etc. I'm not saying Biden didn't do a lot of shit stuff or that I wasn't in direct opposition to several of his positions.
-
-
Serious question,
are you too young to remember Obama or was he considered bad too?
-
Obama is a neoliberal corporatist
-
I am not going to spend the next three hours explaining how Obama and that goat fucking weasel Joe Biden as his vice president made some shady deals with the party in power of my country to start a very devious and corrupt drug war. And I am not going to tell you that I was working as a field teacher at the time of that drug war, That shit got so dangerous I had to quit my job. That said drug war fixed nothing, it only kicked the hornets nest , killed a lot of people, it painted the streets red. It moved money towards a new breed of more violent drug traffickers and blocked legislations that would make drug regulation possible. and that it wasn't just in my country; Obama was a useless hypocrite neoliberal puppet, pure scum. He had the power to make a lot of positive changes and just followed the lead of the people that were really in power in America: The corporations. I am not even very versed in American policy. I'm sure There are American people out there that paid attention at the time might have an idea of how The Obama years paved the way for the trump Era.
Americans live their lives ruled by people who would rather put their balls in a vice and set that vice on fire than to pass regulations on Corporations. Meanwhile those corporations concentrate more international power and either impose or export their corruption to the rest of the world. Your politicians are bought and paid by these conglomerates, they are your government. Your democracy is a farce, your politicians spent decades dictating to the rest of the world what civility, democracy and free market should be. And the moment those concepts are an obstacle to the concentration of power of American corporations all those wishy washy ideals go out the window. America imposed neoliberalism in Latin America. killed thousands in Chile, in El Salvador, in Brazil for their little project and now they have to gall to say the rest of the world owes them everything. What a joke all this is.
I'm sick of it. I'm sick of having dumbass American politics exported to my country. I'm sick of American culture, I'm sick of being worried of who is going to be the new dumbass on power there and who is going to be demonized by their foreign policy. I'm sick that it's a black hole that wants to privatize everything. I'm sick of Sam Altman , Elon musk, Jeff Bezos and Hillary Clinton. I'm sick of the money that flows to the media on other countries outside of America to Manufacture consent and i am sick that you can't even say "FUCK AMERICA" in social media, because you fuckers are so thin skinned you can point guns to the rest of the world and can't even take an insult!

There was a joke under Obama
What’s the difference between a terrorist bunker and a children’s hospital? IDK I just fly the drone
Being better than Republicans is hardly an accomplishment but I will say that he was better, I could even say he was good for an American but that shouldn’t be confused with good
-
I mean considering the amount of people deported under his terms in office and the normalization of drone strikes he created I would say yeah, he was a bad president, not anywhere near as bad as Trump but still pretty bad. And that's before you get into him capitulating to the establishment of the Democratic party on things like Obama care getting heavily watered down and just in general losing his progressive edge as soon as he took office.

It's still Bidens economy for the next four years unless it's doing good then it becomes Trump's
-
Yeah, and it was Trump's economy for the past four years because everyone knew he was going to win and everyone would be constantly winning too. Now it's Biden's economy, but wait until Trump's economy kicks into gear. You'll get so many jobs you won't know what to do with them. Unless the economy crashes again after that, then it's Biden's economy again until it recovers then it's Trump's. What's so hard to understand?

Oceania was at war with Eurasia; therefore Oceania had always been at war with Eurasia. -Orwell, 1984

Trump making the capitalist hellhole worse, does not make the capitalist hellhole acceptable. No matter if the presidents name was Trump, Biden, Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush or Reagan.
An economy that cannot provide access to basic healthcare and education for its citzens is a failed economy, no matter how high the price tags of stocks traded by coked up psychopaths are.
-
If Biden or Harris were president now live would be better for millions, perhaps even billions, of people on this planet.
Both sidesing this it lazy and ineffective.
-
Going for the "lesser of two evils" over the past 40 years at least is what brought us to Trumps presidency. In particular Biden and Harris brought us to his second presidency, embracing the support of Dick Cheney, which is a Bush era war criminal Republican foreign invader mass murderer.
Yes i both side this. The Democrats in their current shape are a big part of the problem and they oppose getting towards a solution. Because a solution would be against the US oligarchy and the DNC is equally representing that oligarchies interests. Just the flavor of oligarchs is different between the two parties.

-
Anyone who bothers paying attention knew Republicans were going to fuck our economy up. They always do. But even I am shocked at how fast it's happening.
Doesn't matter. This country is too stupid to learn from mistakes. And down the ship goes.
-
Less shitty != not shitty
-
I think he should be in the Hague, personally.
-
I know what you mean, but while he's here, we could use someone like Biden to run our country. The Schoof coalition is a shit show, not really due to Schoof personally though.
-
-
Greatest president during Joe's presidency. We'll sorely miss anyone who is not Trump.
-
The best part about Biden's presidency was not having to read the news because the president was gonna make a huge mess the next day.
-
-
Bad still bad. Ignoring real poverty, homelessness and struggle because "line go up" was not good. No reason to rehabilitate an imperialist billionaire loving war criminal because his successor is arguably worse in many ways.
-
Continued the tradition of hollowing out the middle class for wealthy donors like any other politician. The man represented Delaware for God's sake. Economy got "better" while people continued to get gradually poorer, materially.
I guess that's better than having every index in the world crater because chatgpt said tariffs on everyone though, so.
-
He wasn't great but he wasn't batshit crazy like Trump. Sure he should have pushed for universal healthcare, a universal income, taxing the rich more, etc.
The only advantage of Trump being this fucking nuts is America should swing left harder than ever in 2028. Maybe we can get some billionaires to pay their share and some awesome social services to catch with the planet. But that all depends if we even have an election.
-
Your average Republican still.blames him. That's he playbook get your people to blame the left no matter what!
-
Ask someone to repeat the talking point of the Republicans and then ask them about the Democrats. I bet everyone knows about woke, crime immigration and so on. The Republicans run on culture wars and anger to get more interaction like social media.
-
-
I think rich people do rich people things and your entire class is to blame for all of this.
-
I still hate it. Sure, the economy under Trump is worse, but that doesn't mean the economy under Biden wasn't also terrible.
-
I miss it, I also miss Joe Biden
-
My family has been paycheck to paycheck since about 2012, nothing has changed for that. I don't care about the stock market, I care about an income for the low income people like me. No president in my life time has done that.
Trump never will, Biden could have put pressure on congress and chose not to.
-
I'm glad we all seem to be on the same page about this 😄
-
Maybe he should have run for president then? Oh wait....
-
I'll let him know once my college loans are forgiven, the genocide stops in Palestine, and he sends us all the rest of the relief checks he promised if he got the two senate seats in Georgia he needed. Then he said, "no I meant $2000 total minus the $1400 you already got while Trump was in office." Dude is a turd and a weak turd at that. He deported more people than Trump. Trump just brags more.
-
Yeah the only difference is Trump loudly declares the bad things. I wish Biden followed on his good promises.
Sorry you got downvoted for remembering all the failures and things people try to gaslight us about.
-
Then he said, “no I meant $2000 total minus the $1400
That really pissed me off too, how they changed the messaging abruptly after the election and just pretended they'd never said it. Bastards.
-
Gaslighting the public, the politician way.
-
-
-
Don't gaslight me with some fake history.
I think genocide joe's "economy" is a huge part of why we have trump.
-
I think Biden was an empty suit who personally didn't do anything while president...
And a shit ton of "moderates" from his admin and mainstream media are writing books about how true that is.
Why the fuck do so many people want to act like trumpets do with trump and just deny reality to cheer their "team" no matter what?
-
personally didn't do anything while president...
For a President that Magas claim didn't do anything, Trump had to spend an awful amount of time signing executive orders to undo Biden's "did nothing".
I count 76 Trump orders to undo Biden's orders just on Trump's first day:
-
without background & historical knowledge of our political posturing, it becomes little more than a red vs blue team sports and i bet it'll stay that away until there aren't enough people whose lives are untouched by the ghoulery to change things.
-
And we saw the results of that with Republicans where any flaw or mistake is ignored...
Are republican voters getting what they want out of that arrangement? Or is their blind loyalty being exploited?
Now, everyone seems to understand how that is bad...
So why do people think both parties doing that would be better?
If it's just about winning elections, why not also run a candidate that agrees with the base, then ask for people to vote for the lesser evil if it's still not what voters want?
Why start with someone far to the right of the Dem voters base?
Why meet fascists halfway? When has that ever worked out?
-
-
I think Biden was an empty suit who personally didn’t do anything while president…
Then you personally weren't paying attention.
