What does that possibly have to do with Biden choosing to abuse his clemency powers to spare his failson from the consequences of his actions?
This isn’t an act of progressive or socialist will. This is just another example of a two tiered justice system in this country but also fuel for the fascists. I don’t see a reason to celebrate this unless you’re a Biden.
Democrats, especially the hardcore blue MAGA types, will never duck the “elitist” critiques.
2/3 of this comment section are a bunch of PMC labor aristocrats running defense for millionaires.
Yeah this a real win for the working class and “progressive” politics.
I hope the democrats move hard right next election to target people who actually vote and don’t just sit it out.
Pretty much why y’all lost 2016 and 2024 but go off
Why do you guys pretend to understand the electoral college in one breath and in the other assume every critic of the Democratic party lives in NC, GA, PA, MI, etc.?
My vote would have literally been more wasted voting for Kamala in a deep red state. At least a third party vote could get your party to notice something.
The vast majority of Americans do not live in swing states.
I don’t trust anyone who could shoot me and get away with it.
Democrats aren’t the problem. Stupid Americans are.
Surely, this messaging is going to help your party from being seen as the out-of-touch party of “coastal elites”
Also, the Democrats are one of the two most powerful capitalist political organizations in the world. They fight and organize for capital, not the working class and definitely not the working class outside the US.
Change your default sort.
They aren’t perfect, and as stated elsewhere they are in a period of Dengist based socialism. However, they are extremely successful, very popular within their country from all sources that could be called evidence (especially compared to the US government), and do far less to acquiesce to the billionaires compared to West, seemingly (charging and sentencing billionaires for corruption, cracking down on financiers, etc). I think another user had a good point too about looking at the amount they have per capital.
They are the most successful nation practicing a form of socialism in the modern world and offering an alternative to liberal capitalism.
There’s a reason it’s called critical support.
Yeah whatever, that’s a feature. Reddit became worse once it became a safe place for conservatives and center-right liberals to gather.
Conservative, TheDonald, KiA, red pill, et. all made Reddit worse.
I don’t want a second Reddit. Can better avoid eternal September issues if they self select to fuck off
But I guess that’s what .world is for.
Isn’t an election the definition of a zero sum game? People are either voting for you, your opponents, or not at all.
This was a referendum on neoliberal business as usual and they lost, hard.
You would have thought people in this country would have learned that in 2016 when Trump ran against NAFTA and with a populist message that, yes, used immigrants as a scapegoat.
But the neoliberal elite of the party continue to show nothing but disdain for populism, evidenced by how they treated Bernie and choosing candidates who literally run on nothing “fundamentally” changing.
Seeing that fact and choosing not looking inward at the party but instead chastising the laymen is exactly why Democrats lose. OP’s post is endemic of the problem.
Hey look, someone who learned nothing in 2016 and continues to show they’ve learned nothing in this election too.
I’m sure the chastisements and lectures are going to help with dispelling the notion that the Democratic party is a party of smug elitists.
All the exit polls in swing states were showing only 40% or less approve of Biden. You think the outcome would have been any different?
You can blame us for this application, sure. Having an impact on the results of this election? Unlikely
Don’t forget Hispanics!
ITT: excuses
If you live in a democracy with first past the poll elections with an electoral college, then you should understand how the system works and vote accordingly.
If you understand, then you understand that only swing states matter and you’re essentially free to vote as you feel in solid red or blue states.
Why would they learn anything? The entire .world instance, Dem Reddit/Twitter, etc. does nothing but run defense for them, tell everyone they need to vote for them no matter what, and browbeat everyone who engages in criticism of the party during every election season, local and national.
