Never forget Biden was the reason we are in this mess. He should be shamed for the rest of his life and even after that.

    The American voters are the problem for voting in Trump, not a man who tried to make a troubled country better over his lifetime.

    Maybe so, but Biden had two opportunities.

    1. Get rid of Merrick Garland.

    2. Use the SCOTUS’s ruling of presidential immunity against Trump and them.

    He failed when it really mattered. Twice. No sympathy.

    It’s like saying, we played a great game against the 49ers but 1 minute left in the 4th quarter, we chose to do a field goal to tie the score instead of going for a Hail Mary and the kick missed.

    He also failed to step down when faced with compelling evidence that he would lose to Trump. If we had an honest primary, I don't think we'd be in this mess. Instead, he held on to power up until the last minute and the Democratic constituency yet again got a candidate they didn't want.

    As much as you might not want to hear it in the end Biden did the right thing because the average American decided they didn’t care about that.

    The 14 million being kicked off of Medicaid and the many being forcibly deported could give a flying fuck about the moral high ground.

    This isn’t about moral high ground this is about the majority of Americans deciding this is what they want their country to look like or not caring enough to vote.

    not caring enough to vote.

    Due in no small part to the jackass you're defending and people like him in the DNC showing that they weren't actually interested in anything but their own power and money, even if it meant squandering the opportunity to prevent this very outcome. The same politicians who have proven these people right by putting up no real resistance as they rubber stamped Trump's cabinet picks and policy decisions in Congress, only to wring their hands on TV about how dangerous it is and text me asking for another donation so they could sit on their hands some more.

    Get serious.

    If you're going to speak in broad strokes about the majority, it's important to get right that the majority of votes went against Trump. He only has the support of the largest single minority bloc of voters.

    He didn't do the one most important thing he needed to do: hold a felon fascist insurrectionist accountable for his actions.

    That's what his legacy will be.

    America voted a felon in to lead the country.

    He should've been hanged in 2022. I wouldn't blame voters for the governments failure to uphold its own laws

    The democratic party is full of nothing but cowards and accomplices

    Did we? Because the way I see it, a guy who cheated in the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections just happened to win again in 2024. Did he win because he had a popular mandate, or did he win because Elon Musk fucked with the voting machines?

    We'll never know, because Democrats are fucking stupid and are happy to let a known cheater and fraud to get away with it.

    Do you have any proof for any of those elections?

    Voter shaming. Voter blaming. Not the party who didn't even hold a primary after Biden dropped out far too late. Not the party who said "nothing will fundamentally change" and ran on "but Trump"

    Yes I’m shaming the people who voted Trump in again knowing full well what he was doing and also the ones who helped convince people not to vote because of relentless anti-DNC propaganda.

    So then it'll happen again if you don't hold the actual party whose job it was to EARN enough votes. Congrats.

    Yes congratulations to all the people losing rights, healthcare, their lives and freedoms just so you can prove a point.

    You should tell these people that they should deal with those things for decades to come because you prefer to have the moral high ground over winning over the voter base your party lost. I'm sure they would be happy to lick the Democrats boots along with you if you tell them that. Go on.

    Ah, yes, the guy who chose to ignore the multiple opportunities presented to him to literally render Trump's return to power impossible, barring a violent uprising, yet who sat on his hands instead is the real victim here. Shame on anyone criticizing our poor new Neville Chamberlain for appeasing fascists while also refusing to even consider ceding power to anyone who would have been willing to seriously put the screws to Trump. Truly, one of the greatest victims of our times.
