So, you’re okay with it taking 2.5 years to get a special prosecutor going for an insurrectionist and a guy who very clearly took nuclear secrets and blatantly violated the national espionage act?
2.5 years to force the matter if getting nuclear secrets and other extremely sensitive materials back- and they still are missing documents?!
Biden has been “not a total disaster” at best.
Biden is not a fascist piece of shit like Trump. Drop your luxury bullshit and vote for the people not running on the platform of murder of American citizens and stealing the entirety of wealth from the middle class.
Drop your luxury delusions, yourself.
Biden is running on the platform of stopping fascism.
Name one thing Biden has actually done to actually stop the slide into fascism? To uphold the constitution?
I’ll notice your not actually answering my question: are you okay with an administration that allows that self same fascist piece of shit to run around free as a bird without so much as an indictment for nearly three years- after inciting a bonafide insurrection?
Are you okay with that self-same fascist piece of shit being allowed to hold- and probably sell- the most dangerous secrets this country has; to our enemies?
You’re the one not getting it.
If Biden were half the president he promised to be in 2020; and a quarter of the president he’s promising to be in 2024, we wouldn’t be having this conversation. Because Trump would be in jail.
The simple, blatant truth is that Biden is unwilling or incapable of stopping fascism. It doesn’t matter which. The longer it goes unchecked, the more likely Trump gains power.
The clock is running out, and seems Biden to think it’s okay to let it. It’s. Not.
is the minimum wage still $7.25 and the rent and food more than even $20 an hour would cover?
has the police problem been solved?
what about the environment we got cop city being built on a national forest?
what about healthcare or bodily autonomy?
what about worker's rights
what about anything else he ran on?
not all of live in a HOA bubble in the US
Trump left the office with the country in worse shape and so is Biden
It is unbelievable to me how people just hand wave away the fact that Biden inherited the Covid economy.
We have no problem acknowledging that Obama did not create the economy he was handed, i.e. the one the Republicans handed to him in the form of the great recession. But a worldwide pandemic? No, that can’t possibly be the issue. It’s the president’s fault!
Shit I didn’t even do that to Trump and I looked for literally anything I could throw at him.
“Not a total disaster” is better than the alternative. Welcome to voting as an adult. There’s no such thing as a perfect candidate. There’s not even really such thing as a great candidate. The absolute best you’ll ever find is “good.” We don’t have that option this year, so you vote for “least bad. ESPECIALLY when the alternative is a narcissist con-man who’s only in it to enrich himself.
Don’t bother trying to reason with people who don’t lift a finger for anything socially or politically important for 3.5 years then just show up in the final inning for the general election to complain about how they aren’t represented at all and don’t like any candidates. They’re children going “it’s my money and I want it NOW!” with whatever nebulous political outcomes they want.
... I'm trying to figure out if you threw out a positive "just to be fair". HOA's universally suck.
joking aside....yup.
I'm waiting for people to chime in that "he doesn't have that power! the DOJ is independent!"
Then he didn't solve ~~the economy~~rich people's yacht money problems. because the treasury is also indepenent, and so is the Fed. Reserve. Regardless... he does have influence with the DOJ, at the very least, including on dictating what sorts of crime get priority. and firing Garland for not doing his fucking job.
