I mean, that’s kinda how democracy is supposed to work right?

…so are you gonna keep coming up with analogies or start insisting Democrats actually work for the voters they’re depending on? Because analogies didn’t win you the general.
A slim majority of American voters support blocking weapon shipments and a large majority of Democrat voters do.
The problem with Biden shipping weapons is that it casts doubt on our “democracy”.
Unfortunately for you they’re called “voters”. So do you want democracy or authoritarianism?

42·11 months agoYou realize Biden went around congress to ship weapons to Israel despite the majority of his own voters being against it?
We’ve been voting for fascists for a while now.

12·11 months agoShow up for what? A strike blocking, genocide supporting administration led by a egotistical geriatric who thought they were fit to run again?
What is with this bizarre idea that voters need to curry favor with politicians? That’s not how democracy works.

This claim is absolutely meaningless without evidence and some indication about how the situation resolves.
There’s a very good chance the moment Biden knows he’s won the election he’ll call you Bibi and go “thanks for your patience. Go nuts.”

0·1 year agoI appreciate OPs honesty that Palestinians are dead either way.
You could help stop this by fighting Biden instead of fighting me.
I’ll blame Biden for refusing to make material compromises with leftists and progressives in order to get the votes he needs.
All so a bunch of white Boomers can show up and vote against you for being “too radical”.
Ok I’ll be voting 3rd party.
I’m done being lectured.
If moderates and liberals won’t allow anyone to fight fascism head on then it’s not just a possibility it’s a guarantee. Fascism runs on misery and this country has plenty of it. Addressing unaffordable housing, healthcare and education would take the fight out of people. When people are busy living and enjoying their lives they don’t have the time or energy to worry about what somebody else is doing.
And to establishment Democrats credit, they pay lip service to addressing these things but that’s about it. They claim they can’t do anything without the presidency, a majority, a super majority, a super majority without any defectors. There’s always an excuse on why nothing is getting done. But losing isn’t an option. So if the establishment Democrats want us to believe we can’t accomplish anything through traditional means for decades then guess what, it’s time to try something less traditional.
Enter the rail strike, a real opportunity for Democrats to show who’s side they’re really on. Here’s a clear cut fight between workers and corporations. Time to bring these disagreements to a head and draw a line. What do they do? Under Joe Biden’s direction 44 Democrat senators vote with 36 Republican senators to block the rail strike.
Liberals and moderates praise Biden for this. They praise Biden for siding against American workers. We are not on the same side.
If liberals and moderates truly believe Trump and MAGA are a threat, if they truly believe Democracy is worth protecting then it’s time to compromise with leftists and progressives. If they won’t do it now they never will. Which means the choice isn’t between fascism and democracy. It’s between fascism now or later.
I choose now. Let’s get this over with.

1·2 years agoHe walked a picket line for fucks sake, first president ever.
When I say “compromise with leftists and progressives” you think walking on a picket line is sufficient? No. That’s pathetic. Here’s some real compromises to be made:
- Don’t block strikes. Vow to veto any attempts to block a rail strike in his next term.
- Stop sending weapons to Israel.
Saying otherwise is disingenuous, so much so, that I don’t think you voted for him at all.
You gave a pathetic example that did not have any meaningful impact on the lives of Americans. The UAW was already on strike and well on their way to getting what they were fighting for. Showing up to a picket line doesn’t make up for blocking the rail strike.
I’m not sure if you’ve noticed but Biden’s approval ratings are way down since he was elected. If you think I’m just some troll fine. Whatever. But I gotta wonder where you believe the people who did vote for him and disapprove of his actions are voicing those opinions? Or do you just accuse everyone who says they aren’t voting for him again of being a liar?


It is when they’re born with silver spoons up their ass yes.
I’ve got endless sympathy for the people who have to work every day dabbling in some substance for a break and end up getting caught in a web.
But Hunter Biden? Fuck no.
