I agree with that sentiment. No one really cares but me; but Biden did a lot to repair the broken ties internationally from the first trump admin. I just don’t know why everyone expected Biden to break norms: he followed the norms for his entire political career which stretched 50 years.

Do you think there was a unifying call from within America that he was ignoring? It seems like everyone loves this fucking oligarchy or doesn’t really care about it. No one was begging Biden to stop the oligarchy.

People still think Elon musk is a brilliant visionary. I don’t think he has more opposition than support.

    Are you even considering what I'm saying at all? No, nobody expected Biden to break norms - not a soul on earth. That was the entire purpose for which he was selected by the Democratic establishment, to be the normie Biden we all slept to for 50 years. Notably, the 50 years that led us to Trump, but that apparently didn't seem relevant at the time.

    There is a cry for change in this country, and people are frankly not politically savvy enough to know what that change should look like. Neoliberals say "you don't really want change, here's some baubles." and people mumble "OK" and fall back asleep for a while. Fascists have fire and zeal and do offer change, and eventually they catch people's attention. They don't know what they are signing up for, but they finally figured out the baubles are shit, so they sign on.

    People think Elon is a vissionary because it's been so long since they have had an actual leader.

    As for foreign policy, fair or not, Biden's foreign policy will ultimately be remembered for just one thing. I'm sure you know what that is.

    I remember a whole life time of the Israel Palestine conflict, and I will never forget how TikTok convinced you guys to sacrifice America, so you could commit more war crimes in Gaza with less scrutiny, because the far left decided Gaza would be better off under trump. That’s the only thing I appreciate about Trump administration is him going directly after you guys as soon as you put him in Office. Targeted deportations, terrorist designations, and he’s going to grind up the bones of every Palestinian child to make a fucking parking lot out of the concrete. Beautiful. You guys are the best at democracy and virtue signaling. History will infact remember that. Israel came off the leash as soon as he got in and that body count is way up inshallah.

    There is no "you guys" here, only me. I've never been on TikTok you schmuck. I voted for Harris. I told "you guys" how to win, and instead you sacrificed America in support of a genocidal ethno-state colonial project and corporate oligarchy. Great job dumbass.

    “I told you how to win” has me rolling. Like did you also tell them to show up and vote and explain the electoral college and southern gerrymandering?

    As long as Democrats keep thinking they can win elections by lecturing voters, we are all fucked.

    Yes, Democrats will always be better than Republicans in any given race. You think that means they are just entitled to win and bear no responsibility for horribly run campaigns? That's not how politics works. You gotta be the better candidate, and you gotta drive turnout. A politician who can't do both is worthless.

    Yeah, the deck is stacked against them. They knew the game going in, and still played for shit. If it's so hard to win, then that's just all the more reason to run better campaigns.

    The Democratic establishment as it stands is an abject failure. Whine about voters all you want, but you don't get to replace them.

    Now I’m with you there. The Democratic Party runs awful candidates and campaigns. In a presidential campaign cycle we have 3 years to complain about the president and 1 year to suck it up and show support.

    If the media and the public was half as critical about trump, as they were about Biden we may not be here. That’s my only point, Biden wasn’t great. He was status quo. Spending 12 months before the season elections pretending he was as bad or worse than trump, the voters got what they wanted and what they deserved.

    Death to America inshallah.

    Genocide joe, he was getting in the way of Israel finishing that genocide this decade. Trump has the power and the will to actually wipe them from history along with many other subjects. He has the will and disdain for human life too. Inshallah we shall see an end to this conflict.
