  • Why Is Trump Autocracy Rising? These Dems Have an Unnerving Answer.

  • Biden didn’t crack down on campus protests

    Not true.

    “Destroying property is not a peaceful protest,” Biden said Thursday. “It is against the law. Vandalism, trespassing, breaking windows, shutting down campuses, forcing the cancellation of classes and graduations, none of this is a peaceful protest.”

    https://time.com/6973969/joe-biden-condemns-campus-protests-palestine-israel-hamas/

    Notice how Biden threw in some peaceful protest actions and called them violence.

    but no matter how bad he was the opponent party was far far worse

    we dont define our commitment to human dignity and respect on a sliding scale by what the worst humans do. Thats barbaric and its not how any of this works.

    You talk about Biden’s past, but conveniently you don’t talk about how he served as VP to the first black president

    congrats to Biden for being white? Or shall I congratulate Biden for agreeing to be handpicked to be vp to a black guy after he lost the primary, like he lost every sibgle other primary after he repeatedly ran over and over? Congrats, I guess. Fr being white and saying yes to a dream offer. Do you think that took some balls for Biden? It did not.

  • Thats not the whole list of who this guy was, is it. When the 'defund and reallocate' movement resolutions hit Bidens desk he flatly rejected it and increased cop funding instead. You couldnt dickslap civil rights any harder than that.

    When students were protesting he started what trump has continued-- persecuting them for expressing their constitutionally guaranteed freedom of speech, over some contrived definition of antisemitism equating to students "feeling uncomfortable" about other peoples peaceful ideas.

    Harris and Biden mustered one of their rare victory laps when they declared that no president had ever been as hard on immigrants and asylum seekers as biden had been.

    He took more money than any other politician from israel-- even before he was president. He was their creature and did their will instead of his constituents. In my book thats taking bribes and being a traitor to his oath.

    Great that he did the things you cited, but that doesnt wash his hands of enabling a genocide + mass murder of journalists, doctors and aid worker either. He has a whole lot of blood on his hands-- in exchange for money. If there were any justice in the world he created, he'd be in handcuffs at the Hague with the rest of the war criminals. He also could have taken steps to trump proof the government after he lost, and he didnt do a damn thing. He left it wide open. Like an idiot-- at best.

    Befoire he was president he created civil asset forfeiture which is a ridiculous violation of all of our constitutional rights, and rode the ridiculously overzelous 3 strikes laws through congress, demagoguing to drum up celebrity. Whenever there was a blue dog movement in congress, there he was. And his best friend was Strom Thurmond, and ex KKK leader. Biden was a ghoul. And his son made a life out of lobbying-- because he had access to his dad. He's an expert at nothing at all. Not a good look for either one of them.

    Do you remember how Good old loose lipped crazy uncle Joe used to be a "gaffe machine", but every gaffe just happened to be about black people? I'm white, but that sure stuck in my mind. He was never presidential material. Obama brought him in because he was an old white guy who was republican-curious, not because he could lead his way out of a shallow paper lunchbag. I'm sure Obama regrets that decision to this day.

  • Sure. But fox news calling someone bad doesnt necesarrily always mean they are good. We should never define ourselves by what idiot shitstains say, especially for a party so sensitive to bullying.

    The DNC and thus the democratic party has been a dumpster fire for a decade at least and Biden drove us all off a cliff. Everyone wants to pretend his unpopularity was solely about his age, and not about his republican-curious career of bad ideas and mediocre half-measures lukewarm leadership. In the last election the DNC steered hard right so they could keep taking AIPAC money and ignore the left, and it failed, like it always does. They will try it again too-- they hate the left more than they hate centrist republicans-- and liberals still wont even admit that. So we're all doomed until centrists pull their heads out of their collective rears.

  • If you believe the government shouldn’t attack free speech or any one’s rights, rights should be expanded, that immigrants deserve to exist, or a mass defense of freedom means we all stay free then YOU ARE LIBERAL

    cool, but the last dem presidency acted against all those things instead of standing for them.

  • Its not that Biden didnt show up for those fights he secretly beleived in, its that Biden and the modern dem party doesnt beleive in those fights anymore. They keep them around as campaign props. They beleive that whoever amasses the most campaign money wins the campaign, regardless of platform.

  • and yet you call out "both sides" as a "tankie" and right wing attack. Why did you do that?.

  • give the right and tankies the ammunition they need to spread both sides disinformation.

    ..except there was plenty of actual both sides stuff going on under Biden/Harris. Stuff like immigration crackdowns, and support for increased police powers and budgets, a failure to show up to protect Roe, a willfull failure to hold trump accountable for an insurrection and collaborating with Russia, and with Biden throughout his career-- always a lack of respect for our civil and human rights. Lets be honest for once and not pretend the dems didnt veer hard right on a lot of things under Bidens watch. As an example, Biden led the country in enabling and funding a far right genocide and Harris said she'd do the same. People were murdered on Bidens watch via war crimes he actively participated in. Americans, some of them. Biden/Harris lost the left and a good part of their base doing it. Is any of that "both sides disinformation"? Did or did not harris talk lovingly about her glock on the campaign trail? she did. While students across the country cower in live fire drills and kids and parents are terrorized in the name of pewpew ownership for all, wondering if someone will kill them at school. Thats both sides supporting those bad policies, which is why a cheney could hover unironically at harris's elbow during her campaign.

    This is simple reality that a lot of centrist liberals refuse to acknowledge, and they need to in order to move forward with their left flank-- who they cant win elections without. Dems arent simply "the good guys" lately and thats why a big chunk of their own voters and almost all youth effing hate them and only vote for them because they are the second party of a 2 party system. Biden lost the left because he's had an entire career of being a racist halfwit republican-curious dealmaker instead of a leader. He was a bad candidate and had dumb, bad policies that polled badly on all sides. And harris couldnt order her own lunch without help from someone else. And the centrists in the party cant admit to Biden leading the way away from the traditiobnal Dem party platform. Theres our problem.

    And this is what taking AIPAC's money gets you. An utterly destroyed party on life support. And aipac couldnt care less.

  • About half the time we try to use AI for precise work at my job we end up with hallucinations, completely skipped areas of configs, and low quality bullshit. We'd do much better hiring minimum wage interns to write the stuff. AI is not about to replace anything but commodity work that society thinks has a high tolerance for error and bad decisions, like customer support, teaching, policing, management, or health care. What it should replace is our effing politicians.
