"Biden should break the norms of procedure, normality and good faith"
Might as well be proposing a magic wand lmao.
You must realize, we need to respect the norms of this country.
Oh, like the norms of being able to get an abortion?
No, I was thinking more the norms of 9 unelected ghouls deciding the fate of the country lmfao
I just got back from a meeting with my good friend Mitch. Did something happen?
"voters could just not vote for republicans. it's cheap and easier."
:vote: :maduro-katana-2:
He'll have his aides go out, say all options are on the table.
Than when pressed they will repeat
All options are on the table.
After people start dying because of the situation and he’s asked about what he’s doing to help, Jill and Joe are going to recreate this magical Reagan sundown moment
Unfortunately the table is in a locked room. Wait I have the keys? Listen Jack
Things Biden will actually do:
-
Call a reporter a yellow-bellied turk
-
Fall asleep on stage
-
Send $40 billion in Lethal Aid to Ukraine… for the 3rd time
maybe he's only still sending aid because he keeps forgetting it's already been sent
-
Biden sucks so hard he couldn't even keep his "Nothing will fundamentally change" promise. Dude is almost admirable in his mediocrity, how is it possible to be a lame duck even before you enter office?
I hate to be that guy but I really hate it when people bring this line up. It mostly doesn't matter so I ignore it instead of being a pedant but every now and then it just bothers me enough to chip in.
That line is taken quite egregiously out of context, to point that it's attacking Biden for the completely wrong reasons. He said this to an audience of rich people not assuring them he would protect their fortunes from any consequences, but rather that if they chipped in a bit more of their share toward (means-tested) state redistributive schemes, then it wouldn't fundamentally change anything but they'd be doing some good. And he was right - the rich paying a bit more in taxes doesn't fundamentally change the reality of a bourgeois class dictatorship, and in this part he's the liberal side of that dictatorship in believing state intervention can mitigate class conflict, thus guarding the privileges of the bourgeoisie more effectively.
Of course, Biden's problem is that he thinks the bourgeoisie are in any way interested in giving concessions to a working class that is completely complacent and impotent to do anything whatsoever to them, so they don't need to heed Biden's pleas at all. Which is exactly why we're here, a day after reactionaries have banned abortion in half the country.
This Biden quote is like that recent Bush gaffe about invading Iraq. The intention and the original context isn't important to the picture it paints.
Bush saying the Iraq invasion was bad and illegal is funny.
Biden saying "nothing will change" given the context of the primaries and the fact he was literally being pushed as the candidate with the only mission to defeat Bernie and his very meager proposals is funny.
Libs love to came up with scenarios of their candidate doing shit, but when someone else ask their candidate to actually do shit they'll lose their shit.
Libs: We should do X
Person: Why didn't you do X?
Libs: HOLY FUCKING SHIT UNGRATEFUL SWINE
The old duffer can barely maintain without forgetting everything that happened the previous day - he'll wake up tomorrow and his advisors will ask what his response to R vs. W being annihilated will be and he'll turn around and ask '...buh!? whaddyamean?'
Such a fucking shambling wreck of a man.
Listen here Mack, I don’t like to get my hairy legs wet so I’d rather get in that, that, thing and row it until the sun don’t shine! :biden-nibble:
Multiple news sources will say that Biden is "considering" doing something and that will basically be it lmao.
I still think we might see the democrats put hillary up against Trump one more time
maybe but we can't discount the potential for them to do something even stupider than that this is the democratic party after all. Setting an expectation of them is just setting yourself up for them to do something stupider than what you expected
Very true. Clinton-Cheney unity “move past Roe vs Wade” ticket it is.
:yea:
stop lathing things
although at least we have Hillary in there so they'll lose
Listen here Jack, not a joke, I mean this sincerely. Sincerely. SINCERELY. SINCERELY. SINCERELY. When I'm in there those Republicans will have an epiphany, it'll be so beautiful.
I’ve said this before but post office abortion clinics would be a solution considering their footprint. I’m sure lots of locations have underutilized space.
Except then the people that go there are still tracked by state pigs and arrested? This is asinine.
all 3 of these options lead to people getting tracked and arrested. they won't do it though because it guarantees a civil war.
Yeah to that point it's meaningless since it won't happen, but it'd only be useful if you were trying to bait those arrests to establish federal supremacy or something, and there's much more direct ways to do that.
Easier to erect a highway checkpoint leading to federal parks than at the 1000s of post offices in each state.
Things Biden would do if this were a foreign policy issue:
- Drone strike Brett Kavanaugh's house
Not arguing against it necessarily but I'm pretty sure using federal land for abortion clinics in deep red states would probably spark an honest to god secessionary crisis.
I dunno, asking Democrats to actually do something sounds a little like a Russian psyop to me :maybe-later-kiddo:
