Of course they didn’t. They literally had every establishment democrat coordinatedly drop out of the primaries in exchange for cabinet positions to throw their support behind Biden when Sanders started winning the primaries in 2020. Like, it’s been clear they’d learned nothing. And thanks to the idiotic two party system, they got rewarded for that maneuver with the opportunity to say “we told you so! Look, we got trump out of office!” And when they lose this time…they won’t learn a goddamn thing. Again.

Not to mention, Biden literally said he’d only run once. Because he’s fuckin old. And would be four years older and less coherent four years after “saving the country” from trump. He acted like it was his duty as, as the democrats said, the most “electable” democrat that would definitely be able to oust trump. But, lo and behold, here we are, four years later, with a Biden four years older and four years more senile, making the 72 year old trump look like the coherent one—and refusing to step down. Even though we all saw these problems coming half s goddamn decade ago.

And this is exactly what we were saying four years ago. If I never deleted my Reddit account, I’d pull up comments I made during the election where I was saying, “Biden is going make trump look like he’s more coherent.” And, while that was definitely true back in 2020, it’s quadruply true four years later.

What a stone cold disaster we are headed for.

Yeah, the problem is the democrats have no one that’s remotely popular enough or likeable enough that they trust to make the candidate. We all know we’d like to see Bernie as the candidate, but that’d never happen in a million years when we’re talking about party-installed replacements. Because they don’t want him to be the head of the Democratic Party. They’d literally rather the country fall to fascism. Which….says quite a lot.

We all know Kamala would be a disaster, and it’d be a massive problem that the right could jump on if the Democratic Party just put someone else there without primaries—which they absolutely shouldve fucking held. Who’d have ever thought that would make sense?!

But who knows, Biden is so incredibly botching this, that it’d probably be a better idea to gamble on someone else even in that uphill scenario. What the fuck ever, I can’t even bare to watch this shit.

For some reason voyager is converting my gif file to a jpeg, so I gotta share a direct link to a website that feels like it somehow survived the 2000s unchanged

You don’t think Biden would criticize a KKK march? A neo Nazi march? Biden criticized Jan 6. How about an anti lgbtq march? Westboro baptist?

I’m just saying, you’re considering this one instance and painting with too broad a brush. Have you only been alive for trump and Biden? Not all US presidents endorse everything bad. They even stand up against a lot of them, typically. Your comment just reads like you’re really young and can’t think past Israel. There are plenty of things neoliberals are at least performatively on the moral side of—social issues, anyway. 2/3 past presidents would’ve spoken out against a lot of things you (most likely) hate.

….wwwelllll…. I’d be careful painting with too broad a brush there, partner.

Based on all available evidence from the course of my life so far, the data clearly shows a 0% death rate. Current trends expected to hold while data collection available.

If it makes you feel any better, I have no fucking clue who you are.

An ironically poignant post in this era of social media where people allow themselves a back pat for posting something and then thinking their activism is complete.
