        It’s never Joever, Brandon will go down in history as the best president of the United States for being its downfall.

          I mean not sure how that’s how it works lmao

          Does that make Tzar Nicholas II the greatest emperor of Russia? I dunno, maybe. Maybe it does.

          But, I’m still ridin’ with Biden. On one policy only.

          Let’s just say

          SCOTUS made a pretty crazy decision in the recent past. And Biden could do a hilarious thing before Jan 20, 2025.

          Time’s ticking old man! In all the ways possible!

            Every self professed Marxist Leninist should consider Tsar Nicholas II as the greatest Tsar because he gave Lenin the opportunity.

            Greatness is simply assigned significance in a historical narrative, not some objective criterion.

    I saw on twitter that the internal polling for Biden that the Dems had, has him losing to Trump by 400 electoral votes and they knew that since before the dem primary.

    Their plan from the start was to lose

      I might be missing something here. While I saw her as a humanitarian (or better than most politically) for a long time, I now view her differently. She continues to vote to send more ‘aid’ to Israel to further the genocide of Palestine. That makes even the most progressive of the empirical regime an agent of destruction. Maybe she would be cool when we transition away from capitalism but atm I’m not inclined to support her policies. Did she offer an alternative to the DNC that I’m missing?

      Edit-these might be shitposts, so I might have not matched the vibe and context.

        it was kind of a shitpost but I’m not saying AOC is good, what I mean is that she has done everything in her power to help the democrats and they keep shooting themselves in the foot anyway

        unlike the corporate dems she understood that forcing out Biden that late in the game was political suicide. she hates Biden and never wanted him to be president but still stood by him because, unlike the DNC, she actually wanted to beat Trump

    I really do think he would have had the Mondale treatment if he ran. Former VP, current VP accused of being a diversity hire, historic loss against an extremist, and the media would have blamed it on Biden being too “left” and not centrist enough
