    I mean no one would have consented to Biden breaking all the constitutional norms of the country, nor was there any popular policy to push. There was a lot of resistance to Biden from both parties. Judge him how you will, I’m not here to defend his honor or convince you of my opinion of Biden. I just wanted to express my frustration. How both sides want their presidents to act like Congress, while Congress constantly gets a free pass for fuck ups. It makes no sense to vote in an establishment congress and expect the president to make changes.

    • Question… didn’t congress attempt to impeach trump several times and then have a January 6th committee? They then handed their findings to the justice department who took forever to bring up charges. 18 months in total before special counsel jack smith started his own investigation. So I mostly blame the justice department for delaying so much. Namely Merrick Garland doing fuck all when they had trumps ass for launching a terrorist attack on our nations capitol. Brazil moved super fast and now Bolsonaro is fucked and won’t be launching another assault any time soon.

      Four years of the Biden Presidency came and went in which someone could be completely forgiven for forgetting who was sitting in the office. There was absolutely zero political or social leadership coming from the Biden Presidency. None. That was half by design, and half because he was too far gone to be in front of the American people that much.

      He was a capable administrator, and under his presidency the liberal oligarchy did choose to make some concessions, and I think he had something to do with that. He had a capable and competent cabinet. But, he was chosen for the role specifically to stall any further continuation of progressive momentum.

      EDIT: I forgot to add that permission comes for breaking the norms by creating a movement that demands the breaking of those norms. That’s specifically what the Biden Presidency was designed not to do.

        Dude, the only unifying call that they actually asked of Biden was to step down due to his age. He did and now America is great again. He really was a populist.

        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.

            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.

            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.
