Imagine framing Biden's efforts on student loans as 'aggressive'. Aggressive like a toothless dog chewing on a shoe.
I honestly never got an explanation for what happened here
I’m sure libs will say it’s shopped though
the libs at snopes admit it's real

The horny took over his lizard brain when Jill's fingers got too close to his face.
"Welp, I proposed it, knowing full well it wouldn't pass. What more can I do?"
Obama's first term was disappointing. His second term was abhorrent.
Crazy how term limits change a politician's incentives to behave.
good point, Obama only racked up 563 drone strikes. as we liberals are well aware, you must blow up at least 564
weddingsmilitary age targets to be considered abhorrent.thank you for reminding us to remain civil and measured in our assessment of our foremost vampires.
Since when did Obama legalise gay marriage?? In fact if I recall correctly they expressly said during their 2012 campaign that they wouldn't
Those very things are under attack today. It matters who the president is.
Obama's VP is president rn lol
We have a legal format for bullying states federally that is very effective, they choose not to
I'm still hung up on Obama and Biden overseeing the attacks on the people at Standing Rock. I'll never get past that.
Health insurance prices continued to rise after Obamacare was passed as though nothing had happened. Tens of millions of Americans are still uninsured or underinsured and hundreds of thousands died from lack of insurance while Obama was president (and busy doing genocide in Libya, Syria, and Yemen). Back to reddit wi’ ye, lib!
'Oh look at me, I've just entrenched the entire lobbying apparatus of private insurance with massive payouts to insurance companies from the federal government with no real benefit towards the public, aren't I so 'progressive'?'
Imagine looking at the human centipede of insurance lobbying post-ACA and thinking, "This is a step in the right direction!"
"No progress matters to you, huh?"
Damn, you really do live in the memory-hole, you memory-holed the last thing you said. Impressive, honestly. Life is always a brand-new experience when you live like that.
But it wasn't actually progress at all. By every single metric (prices, preventable deaths, coverage, you name it), everything continued to get worse. Obamacare is nothing except a word liberals deploy when people make the claim that Democrats and Republicans are just two wings of amerikkka's fascist ruling class. That's it! And if you are making excuses for fascists, what does that make you?
Black Americans saw their largest ever decrease in net wealth under Obama, he not only didn't end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, but if fact expanded the war in Afghanistan, which meant ever increasing payments to pedarist warlords, which hey, still failed.
This is besides the point that the ACA is just a handout for insurance companies, based on a Heritage Foundation made Romney-Care plan, and not the universal healthcare plan that he had promised voters during the election.
Must be fun to live in the memory-hole, I'll bet it's nice and warm.
Black Americans saw their largest ever decrease in net wealth under Obama
I'm pretty sure that all Americans except for the wealthy saw their largest ever decrease in net wealth under Obama, and every president since. Inflation is out of control, school, housing, and healthcare are hundreds, sometimes thousands of times more expensive, wages have stagnated, and assistance programs for the needy have been cut or cancelled. The QOL and freedom indexes have been steadily decreasing for decades.
If you weren't disappointed in Obama you aren't even a lib at that point...
The surge in Afghanistan was abhorrent and disappointing, unless you dont view Afghans as human beings.
Hnnnng I think I'm gonna... I'm gonna... I'm gonna drone!
Oh shit I just droned all over that orphanage.
A significant amount of hexbear is queer and trans, it's pretty wild to call out gay marriage as some great thing when those in power turn a blind eye to trans and queer genocide and abuse
Also they didn't codify gay marriage, it can be poofed just like abortion
After reading the replies here what comes to my mind is how can someone unironicaly praise fucking Obamacare or whatever considering Bernie's both campaigns and their ultimate outcome. Like fucking not even the reddit libs of the day would say this with a straight face, well unless you were a massive turbo Hillary/Obama shill which believe it or not at one time was not even that mainstream on that shit site.
To read this unironically in the good old year of 2023 is just funny.
lmfao you're right
I'll go with "despicable and useless"
It's an article literally saying that "leftists can push Biden to the left" while pointing to these accomplishments as proof:
[Biden's administration] embraced massive government intervention to stave off the worst economic impacts, including handing millions of families monthly checks (by expanding the child tax credit), giving all kids in public schools free meals, boosting unemployment insurance and extending health coverage to millions.
All of those policies were temporary and have now expired. Truly the most progressive president since LBJ.
Gotta give liberals that feel good dopamine hit before you throw the kids into the dumpster
"It's been four years, and your arguments in favor of Biden are the same as before he was elected. Ask your party for a less shitty candidate, if harm reduction is your goal."
"In a president's second term, they don't need to cater to public approval and can make bold changes!"
"Great! Biden will do good things then, right?"
"Biden will do good things then... right?"
The fact that so many people believe Biden isn't counting on the republicans to halt any student loan forgiveness he brings forward is hilarious.
That's the standard Good Cop, Bad Cop routine they've been using for decades.
But yeah, can’t wait to hear how it’s my fault Biden lost to Trump in 2024.
… but if you don't vote for him "you ain't Black." Or whatever nonsense he said that time. (I'm not a Black person, I'm just using his words for satire.
I caught that shit and I’m black. I usually give my reason for not voting Biden as “I won’t vote for a literal segregationist” which usually gets them to shut up, or at least switch tactics from “you ain’t black” to “well, people can learn and improve”. Still tired but not as staggeringly stupid
work their hearts out
not sure I've ever seen this specific phrase before, seems almost like a threat
sure there's 'bleeding hearts' and 'wearing your heart on your sleeve' and 'knock your socks off' and 'work your ass off'
but 'work your hearts out' like wtf
ShowIf you don't work your heart out Biden will sick his poorly-trained german shepherds on you.
Don't hearts belong inside the body? Doesn't "work your heart out" mean basically either (a) do what you want or (b) work so much that you die from heart attacks so explosive you will end up without a heart in your body like our budy Rumsfeld?
Leftists should endure massive organ trauma for Biden in 2024.
Leftists should work hard so that Biden can continue to erode the rights of the working class
No no no… you misunderstood. They meant something something something else. /s
During his last campaign, Biden said anarchists should be prosecuted. He's not getting anything from me.
no votes for anybody that supported sending the child de-limbing bombs to ukraine.
i'm only conforming to the International Community™️'s own goddamn treaties on this you want my vote don't flaunt international law, simple as.
In 2000, Nader's vote total in Florida of 97,488 was far more than the 537-vote difference between Gore and George W. Bush.
author is a turbolib who took all the wrong lessons from 2000
Ignore my username - I'm not american, could you explain this comment?
The Supreme Court stepped in during the Florida recount and said "stop that, Bush is president now mkay", and for some reason everyone listened
Why is the author a turbolib and what are the wrong lessons they took?
not sure if I can articulate the lessons rn but it's the same people who are still mad about Jill Stein costing Hillary the 2016 election, ignoring that Gary Johnson got 3x her votes. if you vote you have to vote for the Realistic Option, they think if those voters didn't have Jill Stein that they would have been forced to vote Hillary instead of just not voting like most of the working poor
The lessons they took is that the democrats need to scold lefty people into voting for them instead of changing their policy positions to appeal to those people. They blame 2000 on people voting for Ralph Nader of the green party instead of on themselves for not getting more votes or on the conservatives for stealing the close election from them (Gore actually won, the SC just appointed Bush to the presidency anyway).
Ralph Nader was an independent presidential candidate who got some votes in 2000, where the democratic candidate was Al Gore and the republican candidate was George Bush Jr.
The election came down to an extremely close race in Florida. A recount was halted and Bush was given the presidency (partly because of deliberate sabotage on Bush's part, see the Brooks Brothers Riot) by the US supreme court.
Libs claim that Al Gore would have won Florida (and thus the presidency) if Nader hadn't ran. This ignores that there's no guarantee Nader voters would have voted for Gore instead of just not voting, or voting for Bush. They do this because they believe that america's institutions are functional and just, so any evidence to the contrary is blamed on individual bad actors, including the voter base. This belief in institutions is largely the result of propaganda, as it was and is transparently obvious that the country is rotten to the core and must be torn down.
Libs claim that Al Gore would have won Florida (and thus the presidency) if Nader hadn't ran.
Amazing. Just wonderful.
Thx for your detailed response
Damn it's crazy how third party voters keep costing democrats elections. It seems like their success or failure really hinges on winning those voters. So I wonder what they've done to...
Oh right I forgot, "The democratic party can never fail, it can only be failed."
Hell of a fucking statement right here:
What about everything supporters of Bernie Sanders have found so thrilling about the Vermont senator’s vision of the future, from universal health care to free college? It’s true Biden was never going to deliver that, but to be honest, neither would Sanders had he been elected president.
Motherfucker, then why bother? If nothing ever gets delivered then why should I give a fuck? What's the point?
I won't vote for the Republican oppositon but I actively hope Biden loses.
I'm going to clue you in on a secret. 2020 election? That was child's play compared to what's coming. The 2024 election is the MOST IMPORTANT election of our lives! The fate of democracy is at stake!!
(be prepared to dust off this statement every four years)
Why bother with cancer treatment if you know you're eventually going to die anyway, hmmmm?
Dumb analogy, but ok.
If the treatment isn't doing shit, why continue to take the treatment?
Oh I meant Bernie was the treatment, as in they're drawing a false equivalence between trying to do something good and running into difficulties vs just completely giving up.
I hate this shit. He's your fucking guy. You "work your heart out", asshole
Honestly, I made it my policy a long time ago that I don't vote for war-criminals, which leaves me 'spoiled' for choice.
