      Hey at least the one and only time he went low and broke decorum was so he could pardon his own son. And the other 1200 people a week later when he realized how bad the optics were.

      And just to get ahead of those people. I’m not necessarily mad he pardoned his son. I’m mad there only time he broke decorum was for his own personal interests and not the American people’s.

      Yeah dude, and I’m sure “he was going to win and build concentration camps within 3 months, I swear!” would totally have been a sufficient explanation for everyone.

      People on this site are so fucking dumb, I swear.

    On one hand, he’s not wrong.

    On the other hand, he can fuck off. He had internal polling showing him losing in a landslide and he still hung on for far too long afterwards, sabotaging efforts to build a winning campaign by the eventual nominee. Biden is the man who lost the fucking republic through his vanity and hubris.

    Fuck you, Biden. You got us here. YOU did breathtaking damage to the republic, because you and the rest of the non-fascist politicians were so unforgivably out of touch that you lost the fucking republic. Please die and save us your bloviating idiocy.

        Two things can be true at the same time.

        Yes: the people who were so fucking sick of the status quo that they refused to vote do carry a large share of the blame here.

        But the DNC is ABSOLUTELY guilty of perpetuating that caustic status quo in the face of clear public desire for change, because they were mostly too interested in the money machine they were a part of.

    I don’t think anyone wants to hear from Biden at this point. He by all accounts did his level best to put his ego ahead of the good of the people of the country which did nothing but help further Trump’s talking points.

      I want him out there speaking at events, raising money for the campaign trail. They’re off to a great start, honestly, it’s only April 2025 and they’re consistently making nationwide news.

      I voted for Harris, I would have voted for Biden again, and I think anybody who doesn’t see the logic in that is incredibly foolish and just in general a disappointment.

      Trump would be out of our lives now and forever if enough people understood what was at stake.

    It’s quite literally Biden & Garland’s fault that Trump is not currently in prison.

    Centrists: “WHERE IS BIDEN!? WHY ISN’T HE DOING ANYTHING!?”

    Biden: *actively working with DNC on fundraising, speaks at an event which makes headlines

    Centrists: “GO AWAY YOU OLD BASTARD!!!``11~!”

    No shit, Joe! Your insistence on holding into power when it was clear that’s not what the people wanted enabled this. Your legacy will forever be tarnished by your inability to accept reality before it was too late.

      Nonetheless, the problem lies in the system. If 1/3 is for, 1/3 is against, and 1/3 don’t vote, there’s something wrong. And there is, and a specific party has been doing voter supression for a decade and more. Why has this been allowed?

    This comment section is truly something else, when all your rights are stripped away and the US descends further into fascism are you going to continue to blame the Democrats or realise the choice to vote against Trump was also an option?

    Tough decision I know vote for the status quo where everyone was still relatively comfortable and all had rights or not vote and let the fascists in and watch all your rights get stripped.

    Edit: The leopards are feasting on those that voted for Trump as well as those that did not vote at all.

        The south gave us Trump, the south and their pure racist hatred.

        You’re blaming the opposition party for the holocaust, blame the monsters who voted for Hitler instead.

        Nah, I blame those that did not vote. Given how load Trumps campaign was in their rhetoric means if you did not vote at all is just as good as voting for him. Democrats messaging my ass, atop blaming others when the non-voters need to look at themselves and ask themselves why did they allow this to happen when it was well within their power and right to stop it.

            I would have voted for shit on a wall before I would have allowed the chance of allowing Trump get in considering his rhetoric was nazi lite.

            How about you all reflect on the fact that democracy only survives if you participate to protect it.

                So your argument is that the Democrats was not perfect and in the same arena was Trump throwing out fascist rhetoric and your end conclusion is to not vote because the Democrats was not perfect? I just want to make sure I understand yours as well as the non-voters logic. Because for those actually paying attention this was a pretty easy choice.

                Edit: Help me understand why the blame gets passed onto the Democratic party entirely when the power to have stopped this was with the voters that decided to not vote.

                  Actively supporting a genocide is a tad far from “not being perfect”.

                  It does not matter how you try to spin it. Democrats have lost to the easiest opponent they could wish for. We can look back and conclude that you are wrong and I am right.

      the status quo where everyone was still relatively comfortable

      This statement is so out of touch. People voted for Trump over the Democrats because they were struggling to make ends meet in an economy where a huge amount of the populace is a missed paycheck away from having to choose between being evicted from their homes or feeding their family. The cost of living continues to rise on a monthly basis and the Democrats’ response was to tell us we had the best economy in the world. They believed Trump when he said he’d fix it over Harris when she said she wouldn’t distance herself from Biden’s agenda.

      In hindsight, things can always get worse and we can see now that they have. But six months ago people were not comfortable but rather desperate and the Dems were unwilling to take radical action when Trump promised he would.
