We should all anticipate that.

Right… I mean, to be quite honest… if Biden/Trump in 2024 is the best they can come up with, maybe something like that will waken up the Democrats to actual consequences when they continue to run such shitty candidates.

Look up how Hussein took power. Or Hitler. Or Putin. Or pooh bear.

There will be no Democrats. Or democracy.

Only bodies.

We vote now to maintain and carry this frustration and momentum to make change. What we don’t do is shoot ourselves in both feet and wonder why we can’t walk.

No, if 2016 didn’t wake them up I don’t think anything will, I’m pretty thoroughly convinced they would still be whining about Nader voters as they were being taken to the gallows by Republicans,

Everyone who can be woke already is and its just about calling out their dumb moderate ideas while they can still be stopped and primarying their people with real progressives. Democratic candidates losing to Republicans doesn’t make that any easier, if anything it just empowers moderates because the “leftist purity tests did this” narrative plays really well with low information voters.

I mean he’s already been saying it in public at his rallies, so why would anyone be surprised?

He also said from day one he intends to be a dictator. So again, anyone who votes for Trump is voting for literal fascism.

Does Biden know this? Because he doesn’t seem too worried about it.

Biden is worried, it’s fairly obvious. However, he is trying to be a leader, which is foremost the job of the President: To lead. I don’t envy him either. We are a very divided country right now. Yeah, some of you will talk about the war. Others about his bipartisanship. Someone will want to throw their hat in about other issues, perceived or otherwise. Let’s be real though: Dude has had his work cut out for him. So while he hasn’t been perfect I honestly and truly feel it could have been much worse.

At the very least he has completed, and is working on, many of the promises he initially made. Gotta give props where they are due. Though he was never my first choice.

If he wasn’t worried, Biden would be much worse than he’s been(aka, the average for POTUS). He’s the best we’ve had since Carter, which is a condemnation of the office rather than praise of Biden.

If we got the President lemmy wants, a civil war would be the best scenario, but a coup would be more likely. The better the president, the harder their job. The more left wing candidate is always held to a higher standard.

He did, and he is framing it as if it was illegitimate to go after him as he was “innocent” and they did it anyways, so when he locks them all up for no reason, it’s all good, because and eye for an eye…

Scary times.

There are tons of Democrats they could have ran to generate more momentum than Biden. Heck, Michelle Obama could have ran. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez would bring out more voters than Biden. Bernie Sanders obviously another great pick.

Yeah, the favorite tankie mantra of “hey let’s bring the genocide/civil war here so the sheeple will finally wake up and we’ll have the utopia we’ve always dreamed about, ya’ll!”

…that’s even if these people are actually leftists in the first place (as opposed to Russian trolls and right wing hacks). In any case, you have be deeply stupid not to realize the difference between the two choices we actually have before us, and the consequences of fascists in the White House.

Congress can stop the aid, but they aren’t. This is not just a Joe Biden problem.
