      It’s always crazy to see Democrats walk into office, sit down, say “we literally can’t do anything because we don’t have permission”, watch a fascist win, passively hand power to the fascist, and then insist it is the six swing voters in Penstucky who are to blame for everything that happens next.

      Meanwhile, all the war crimes presided over by Obama and Biden are just… ignored. The bailouts? Ignored. Inability to prosecute ousted corrupt politicians? Ignored. Jails full of migrant children? Ignored. Genocide by our allies that we gleefully fund and tacitly encourage? Ignored.

      No no no. It was those handful of swing state voters who did this. They made Gavin Newsom start a podcast that pays Charlie Kirk to come on and say slurs. They made Ruth Bader Ginsberg get COVID at a wedding, 10 years after she should have retired and been replaced by another Democrat. They are singularly responsible for Gitmo, for the invasion of Ukraine, and for Chinese AI.

      If they’d just given Biden one more term in office, and a House/Senate supermajority, and all the state governors and legislatures, and maybe a few friendly governments in Latin America and Europe…

      Then maybe Biden would have permanently forgiven an extra $10k in student loan debt.

        It always crazy to see people try so hard to blame it all on the Democratic party. Good thing the Republicans are here to save us from them.

        Hey I get it, but in the grand scheme of things you are just playing into the political blame game. No fucking answers just pointing fingers in one direction.

      Sure 1 federal judge putting country-wide moratoriums on any executive actions signed by Biden, and a republican congress that stymied every major bill is totally the fault of Biden and the Democrats.
