if he’s so messed up over having his dead son mocked to his face, maybe he should have done something about it. but he didn’t, because he can’t, he’s too Gone to even stand up for himself.
and that’s before getting to all the “available means” against fascism that all the Democrats have been elected the past few cycles have refused to use. there’s people who haven’t been fighting the good fight here, but it’s not the base.
ok but given the choice between “change the minds of millions of your own voters to get them to set their principles aside” and “change your party’s nominee”, which is the more reasonable task?
Trump’s base expects that he will rubber-stamp whatever policy that hurts the people they hate that crosses his desk, and he’s proven capable of that. Biden’s base expects a competent political leader, and he can’t even competently remember where he is after the sun goes down.
yeah i don't think i will be trying to reclaim patriotism for the left this 4th of july. the civic religion is a fucking poison and i'm not going to swallow it
People on Bluesky will really be like "you burn the American flag? that pales in effectiveness to my messaging, convincing Americans with left-patriotism" and then not convince anyone
Was wondering why we still haven't had any response from the administration on Utah's legislative action to defy trans inclusive Title IX rules, but I guess I have my answer.
They are actively throwing trans youth under the bus, and the Overton window for trans rights is in hell.
seeing a guy post regretfully about not voting for Hillary in 2016 and specify in the reply that he was a Republican only for a bunch of smug libs to declare him the One Good Bernie Bro. you gotta laugh!!
The version of Joe Biden who exists in liberals’ minds would make a half-decent president. Unfortunately, the one we’ve got is currently in his bedroom wondering why he can’t get Walter Cronkite on the teevee.
i can offer no guidance for what we have to do to fix all of this, but i do enjoy reading the wikipedia article about how mussolini got strung up like a hog
If you murder a string of Supreme Court justices and then appeal your conviction back up to the Supreme Court, all the remaining judges must recuse themselves with conflicts of interest. You are automatically freed; the perfect crime. No law school is brave enough to admit this.
Joe Biden being legally enshrined as an absolute monarch and being too brain-addled to do anything with it other than give money to Israel and eat ice cream is pretty funny, ngl
I forget, are “giving the far-right 80% of what they want on immigration and trans rights” left-wing policy goals? because if so, Biden has really come through for us these past few months!
The Democrats are in a real pickle: their candidate is an old, uncharismatic egomaniac who’s deeply unlikable, politically out-of-step with a huge chunk of their voters, and openly contemptuous of those voters. However, their best replacement is Kamala, who is also all those things except “old”.
these are strong words and all, but if I thought my coworkers were the primary actors in a fascist coup, I’d do bit more than write a strongly-worded dissent.
