Yes the donors are concerned about revolutionary proposals. It has nothing to do with the fact he has not been cognitively fit for years
alright, I'll bite. What is it? Why can't it start now, or have been mentioned in the last 4 years?
Well see it can't start now because then how would he get you to vote for him, and then it can't start next term because well we just have other fiscal responsibilities first. Maybe in 8 years we can try again
Because he won't get elected for a second term.
That way he can safely do nothing his second term without worrying about reelection.
It's so simple.
Think, Runcible!
Ok, here goes my karma
you literally can't lose any here. we don't have a downvote button
we do got one of these though
It’s too bad the Democratic Party doesn’t have a Party Whip whose job it is to force legislators to follow the party line or face consequences. Oh, they do, but they only use it on the progressive wing because the DNC doesn’t want to do anything to upset the donor class?
Sinema and Machin killed a lot of his ideas in the Senate.
The way Obama fucked up his super majorities by letting f-ing Joe Lieberman filibuster the public option is a real shame.
american liberals love to be like "ugh corporate money has corrupted the democratic process and our elected officials are bought and sold by the board members that really write policy... except for my democrat, who loves me and kisses me on the lips every night before bed"
it's just, like it's kind of like they mostly know what's going on and they're mad about it, and then somehow their conclusion is "okay we have to keep this thing going as long as possible"
"We must maintain at all times 50% of the house minimum, 60% of the senate minimum, actually make it 62% to compensate for democrats who aren't apparently actually democrats, and the presidency.
And even if we get some laws passed despite gerrymandered representative districts and the entire existence of THE SENATE as a concept, well, SCOTUS will just wand-waive away all of that legislation, agreed upon by about 60% of the legislature and the president.
What can we do about SCOTUS? Nothing. That would be anti institutional!
What can we do about the existence of the senate and states which were designed to be and objectively are anti democratic in nature? Nothing. Do you not respect the constitution and institutions!?"
Repeat until we die
Ya it's so weird how there's always just one or two darn senators that stop all the good things that the Democrats totally definitely want to do. So weird that it keeps happening.
They always find an excuse for doing the bidding of donors rather than voters.
they dont. this user is reddit brained tho lol
it's because he doesn't have a plan and doesn't want to. The closest thing they'll ever see to a tax increase from him is him begging for donations
Sure he can, the powers of the presidency are whatever the president feels like they are. He could have Trump, any intransigent Congress members, and the entire Supreme Court executed by drone strike if he wanted to.
Oh please mods make the first part of this post a tagline
Libs will simultaneously hold the following opinions:
"Trump will destroy democracy by welding the powerful tools he has as president"
"Biden really can't do all the things he promised because the president actually isn't that powerful"
the is the funniest most sincere lib shit i've ever seen lmao
Death to America
Lol, I was just tired of all the idiotic replies filling my inbox.
I'll say one thing for s. They really know how to like no one else.
the libs are the best copers folks. They huff copium like no other people, it's unbelievable. And they are coping more and more
Biden is fighting the deep state oligarchs, patriots in control
It's been wild watching blue MAGA adopt every single MAGA talking point, just sprinkled with liberal smugness. They'll be accusing the Republicans of worshipping Moloch and hiding CSA under pizzerias soon enough.
His plan will raise their taxes by one percent! That way we can increase military funding to funnel back to billionaires and crush socialism to protect their profits :)
Okay so, let’s assume this meme is reflecting reality, Biden really wants to stick it to the ownership class and said owner billionaires are engineering the calls to get him to step down in order to prevent that. Wouldn’t that indicate said billionaires have captured the party and twisted it to their will? Wouldn’t that mean that an alternative political structure to the Democrats is necessary, or at least that a revolt is needed among the rank and file democrat voters to wrestle power back from the donors that would rather have Trump than see their tax rates go up by any amount?
The donors disappeared because no one wants to be the last one to interact with him
Joe hit me up, I have stacks on stacks
I mean....they're not wrong; the average democrat couldn't care less about the mass slaughter of people in the global South when their favorite politician tells them it's okay. The idea that democrats suddenly, out of nowhere and for once in their lives began caring about greenlit genocide is patently absurd.
Just cause you have a plan doesn't mean you plan on using the plan
