I don't get how libs can tolerate being taken for granted like this. They're not being mature or practical - they're accepting mistreatment by an establishment sworn to serve them.

Trump and his supporters aren't better, but at least he's telling them what they want to hear. He at least made sure to get checks out to people and had his signature stamped on them.

I dunno, at least there's a strategy there. And Biden has had four fucking years and he's done nothing to get people motivated to vote or even register to vote. Not even going into his participation in genocide, it's just a lack of strategy to the point of self-sabotage.

And the entire Democratic party is complicit in all of it. It's like they want to lose, because all I'm hearing are about how bad trump is/was. And it's like, I was fucking there. And after three years, all they can offer is to give him a verbal reprimand and coverage on every major news network, speech, and social media posting.

It's just mind-blowing to think of the wasted time and energy on the part of the US political system.

    The majority of Americans understanding of how politics impacts their lives in fundamentally vibes based. Their perception of material reality will literally warp from "America is doing great" to "America is not doing great" based off of their political color and the political color of the politician in power.

    I have had Trump supporters flat out tell me the world was amazing when Trump was president and that now biden is president there are gangs of ISIS-MSG-13 are razing the countryside and America is 100% communist, and vise versa when it's some shitlib.

    Like the most direct impact of political actions have had that Americans really have actually materially felt is the actions of the trade war, covid, and the artificial inflation of necessary commodities.

      Covid was significant. It was the last time most of us can ever remember getting any useful monetary help from the govt. And Biden stepped in and dismantled it all while his cronies blamed our brief respute from poverty as the root of inflation.

      If I was not trans, I would probably see no direct and personal drawbacks to Trump round 2 (though I would have to abandon my compassion to handwave the everything else)

      That's nonsense. If Joe Biden really restored the soul of America in his image, it would now be a land of tattered infrastructure, systemic bigotries, fealty to Wall Street, and the pigheaded denial of geopolitical realities and climate science would be rife.

            At least America got a couple social programs out of LBJ. Biden is the warmed over twice-microwaved LBJ that's been rotating next to the other hot dogs in 7/11 for a week.

              If Biden had been president in 1967, I imagine that Flower Power photo would have gone down a lot bloodier.

    Liberals will cry and list a thousand things that Biden accomplished that don’t matter. And let’s say they do matter. Who gives a shit? Your fetishized “””democracy””” is about THE PEOPLE. Their perception of your governance matters. It doesn’t matter if objectively you did good things for them. If THEY don’t see it, they won’t support you. It’s literally that easy.

    Your job is to not only serve them but to make sure they fucking see the results materially with their eye balls. But instead they’ve opted to get angry and complain about their own voters being upset and how tankies are complaining about Palestine. Get a different fucking job if you’re too lazy to do party propaganda. Stupid fucks.

    I didn’t know either until I came face to face with an aspiring “organizer” in the DNC network

    These people are so fundamentally useless, and I am convinced that they only do what they do so they can feel good about following the rules (designed to prevent anything from changing)

    It is really incredible. I would have never guessed in 2020 how far below my expectations the reality would be but it is truly remarkable. Literally as bad or worse than Trump in every measurable way. Just utterly deflating to the point where I feel genuinely bad for people who are still emotionally invested in the presidency. Especially young people, I remember being that naive still and it is a cold hard road to the truth.

    Even before his [more recent] tacit support of genocide, Trump set the bar so fucking low and Biden somehow stumbled like he was walking upstairs.

      The bar was six feet deep in the grave and Biden still fell through the open manhole cover on the sidewalk around the cemetery
