Do… do you smoke?

He’d add soy sauce to the chipped beef,

Because there wasn’t already enough salt in salted dried beef.

It looks like dead gagh. Gagh isn’t supposed to be dead.

I just do think he deserves a tiny bit of cred for some of his efforts

I think that once he supported genocide, he lost the benefit of the doubt. And that was the most telling demonstration of who he always was and always intended to be.

The Democrats are better than the Republicans

By as narrow a margin as they think they can get away with.

Well, except the acceptance of queer people, of course.

Despite the bigotry of republicans and the disgusting cowardice of democrats, yes. Not sorry your side lost that one. Don’t worry, centrists are still desperate to throw queer people under the bus for you.

this, if only a fraction of progressive people would hit the primaries, the entire democratic party would change.

…the primary rules, retroactively.

What he was doing in and of itself wasn’t bad

What’s not to like about breaking the law to sell weapons for genocide, after all.

but it was ignoring the shrinking enthusiasm of the democratic base and the growing of the maga rhetoric

Biden made a ton of promises that the left wanted in order to get elected. We got inflation instead of a minimum wage increase. We got told that the economy was getting better while the price of everything but an hour’s work went up. Telling people who can’t afford groceries that everything is great because it’s great for billionaires is a shit message from shit people.

Biden said that his decades of experience in the Senate meant that he could work across the aisle and accomplish his campaign promises. We watched members of his own party stymie every promise he made to the left, and watched people who just got what they wanted make excuse after excuse about how powerless and impotent the presidency is. After 4 years of watching trump do whatever he wanted with impunity, and just before watching biden ignore the Leahy law so he could sell weapons for genocide.

His heart was in the right place. Sure, if you consider genocide to be a virtue and lifting Americans out of poverty to be a vice.

The Epstein class wants to know which users are minors.

And is blaming the voters putting people you want in office?

Are you ok with any winner as long as the voters know their place?

There’s plenty of places to find nazis, incels, and bigots. It’s called “most platforms.” No one is under any obligation to platform hate or to welcome the hateful. Go find another bar if you want one with nazis.

If you want to see bigots’ comics, there’s plenty of other places for you to see them.

Nazis don’t get a platform.

Sadly, nazis already have too many platforms.

We get minor improvements to everything I listed when Democrat terrorists are in office

So their apologists keep saying to people who are suffering. Rejoice! Prescription drug prices are down! (For 10 drugs! Available only to boomers on Medicare!) What do you mean you can’t afford groceries?! Have you seen how great Bezos is doing? The economy is great, now shut up!

Genocide always gets the front seat at the trough. Where you want it. And netanyahu didn’t have to listen to excuses about how everything was slightly better for billionaires so he should be happy.

Yeah, we are all paying for the terrible judgement of the pro-genocide wing of the party that tried to force their only policy on the American people. Keep blaming the voters and never appealing to them. That keeps working out great for you.

Stop trying to make this a nazi bar, op.

Yup. If two rapists walk up to me and tell me to choose between them, I’m choosing the one who will give me medical care, education, improved economy for the working class instead of investing class, public infrastructure, nature preservation, and a tease of corporate regulations

The problem is that neither made a convincing case that they were interested in doing any of that.

Dems at least pay fucking lip service to and throw a bone to progressive policies.

And then find just enough no votes so they can block those policies, like with the public option and every tangible individual benefit in Build Back Better. Or we need the parliamentarian on board like with minimum wage. Or we need to ask every federal employee until we get the “no” we’re looking for like biden did with cannabis rescheduling.

The left saw a party that they suspected was ineffectual on purpose.

Then they turned around and proved it by getting out of their own way and ignoring actual laws to sell weapons for genocide. They could have found an excuse not to. They’re amazingly adept at finding them when they don’t want to keep their campaign promises.

Vote for the lesser evil, then don’t be silent about the support of genocide. But keep the greater evil out first.

So it turns out that wasn’t a convincing argument for enough voters.

they were also banned from AN because they wouldn’t stop calling me honey.

Ugh. I hate it when shitlibs add an inappropriate pet name to the end of their condescending apologia for genocide.
