The cruel irony here is that the media revolt against Biden happened because he *did* go against people at the top. He made billionaires pay taxes and enforced antitrust laws, and the billionaires who own the media revolted and threw all their weight behind the felon.
Also true
"The media" (meaning the people with the power to set what is covered and what isn't) and "people who don't vote" are non overlapping groups.
Did Trump go to jail or not
The judge who was supposed to sentence him took the cowards way out and tabled it
Biden and Garland showed disinterest in holding Trump accountable. They let all the momentum slip before they did anything, bought Trump time, and in doing so botched the most open and shut case of our lifetime.
I blame the voters
The voters showed up and elected Biden to hold Trump accountable. Voters did their job. The voters showed up in force to protect women’s rights, stop endless wars, and get people universal healthcare when we elected Obama. Voters did their job. You blame voters when our leaders keep failing us.
You have to vote more than once. Sorry.
That's not the issue at hand though lol The issue is the Biden administration didn't do the job they were voted in to do. Dealing with the plotters of a failed coup attempt is something that should have been a priority even just out of an instinct for self preservation and they didnt.
I know someone who left a job to prosecute Jan 6ers. They were doing it. No guillotines tho.
That's great, but giving a couple of years to most of the rabble that stormed the capitol isnt dealing with the people who were ultimately responsible like Trump and members of the Republican party were.
I don't absolve insurrectionists at any level, unlike you.
They didn’t go after anyone with any power.
Cool now we have concentration camps. Great job.
I’ve voted in every federal election since the the first W. Bush term. And even when the people I voted for win, they go out of their way to fail.
Really cause I was on Ocare, denied coverage before that.
Yes. That part of the ACA was important. But someone assassinated a CEO operating under the rules of Obama’s signature bill and a significant part of the country was like, “yeah, I get where Luigi was coming from.” It is not affordable healthcare. It’s insurance subsidies.
are you being sarcastic? I can't tell.
No...
Jesus fuck dude
Not to mention Biden heavily implied that he would be a one term president, welched on that expectation and forced the Dems to push him out when it became clear he wasn’t up to it
That got shot down real quickly, you'd know that if you weren't a dummy.
Are you enjoying the Harris presidency?
I did my part.
It was very effective. 👏
One of those is me defending Palestinians against lazy bothsides arguments dummy.
You throw it in Leftists faces! Nice try, shitlib!
you will always be wrong if you blame the voters. voters have one input to the system. politicians have access to all of them. it's politicians job to win and to lead. dems chose not to try on either count.
No it's the civic duty of citizens to vote.
What are the civic duties of the officials we elect? bsky.app/profile/blan...
you have everything backwards.
No. Democracy only works if adults act like adults.
you are not acting like an adult.
By telling other adults to stop acting like children?
even if true, the failure of dems to openly name their enemy -- the wealthy -- means that they cannot effectively message any action they take against them you have to give your voters an enemy to blame. the other party certainly will
Bernie gets crap from lots of Dems, but he's the only one beating the drum against the power of money.
He was too afraid to go for the neck, especially because the small donator strategy died with the end of the Obama administration Now the Democratic Party needs the “good billionaires” to fund their campaigns Or at least the party leadership thinks that
The problem is that they didn’t campaign on this.
So who's this guy campaigning on raising taxes on billionaires?
A guy who dropped out of the presidential race? Same guy who was president for four years and a Senator for 40 without doing it?
So we’re really doubling down on “Biden’s awful for not doing the thing that he actually did do!”? bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov/briefing-roo...
So we're really calling a proposal that wasn't implemented "the thing he actually did do"? I'll give you "campaigned on", although the fact that he didn't propose it until on the way out the door works against you here.
are you really using the white houses press release to prove that they did the things they said they'd do? lmao, no wonder the dems feel like they should not have to convince anyone of anything if this is how their base is
He still governed to the left of most Social Democrats here in Europe. Joining a picket line, forgiving student debt, speaking out for trans rights, lowering health care cost. I wish I'd had a government doing things like that in my country in, heck, my adult life so far.
Don't forget, he broke a strike, and made future strikes for rail workers illegal, but go on...
Yeah, I think that’s right
