    They already have chosen a new direction.
    Unsurprisingly and in their tone-deaf character they have chosen the worst option.
    “embrace patriotism” ban far-left candidate questionnaires and refuse to participate in forums that create ideological purity tests” , etc… I really hope this wakes up people to vote 3rd party, they do not represent working class people and never have.

    It’s not struggling to find a direction, it’s going in the opposite direction of Biden…

    Which is a good thing considered that was bankrupt state parties thru victory fund then claim a president has zero power and can’t do anything till it’s time to campaign for the next election.

    You can’t spend 3.5 years telling people the presidency doesn’t matter then do a 180 for an election.

    Oh my fuck.

    get out

    get the fuck out, Biden

    You lost the whole show, you simple fuck. You handed the republic to the fascists. You did NOTHING to stop them. You shook his fucking hand and gave him tea. You couldn’t campaign to save your own fucking life, and your meddling played a major role in your successor failing (though Harris does not get a pass here either). If I never see your name - or the Clinton name, for that matter - ever again in my life, it’ll be too soon.

      No, no. It’s worse. They did more than nothing. They specifically held back from prosecuting him because they wanted to run against trump. So Biden could attempt to stay in power by saying “oh it has to be me I’m the only one who’s beaten him.”

          It’s been a while and searching for old news including the words Biden and trump is basically impossible, but I do remember seeing a like DOJ memo or something to hold off on persecuting. While it did not say the reason I listed above, I can’t imagine much other reason to do so and it’s not like they’ll come out and admit it was for that reason.

          Edit: and post I remember commenting on about it two months ago was deleted from politics…. so… can’t find it that way.

            Thanks for the added context. If they did intentionally delay prosecution (plausible considering how much time they had to do it but didn’t) then that’s pretty hard to excuse regardless of the reason.

          Agreed.

          It’s wild that Biden’s arrogance and conceit was a more important concern than winning the election. Everyone around him knew his brain was fucked.

            He’s probably more like a young child emotionally right now from mental decline, shouldnt have been allowed to be president.

          It’s not hubris though. They know what they are doing and they don’t care because they won’t be the ones hurt by it. They would legitimately rather Trump be president than win by having to adopt any kind of actually progressive policy. This is what all of their actions have shown us. Don’t give them a pass for incompetence, they are just as culpable for the situation we find ourselves in today.

    Fuck off Joe!

    Anyone over the age of 55 needs to be in an advisory role, not a leadership role. It is literally the same fucking leadership today as it was 20 years ago.

    RETIRE YOU OLD FUCKS

    I’d rather it was someone else. AOC. Bernie. Anyone in that vein.

    But if he’ll get the Dems to rally and DO SOMETHING? Fuck it. Give it a try. Maybe it will work.

    What fundraising is he referring to though??

      Midterms.

      Governance is a thing of the past, it’s all campaigning all the time now. Why do you think they fail so hard to accomplish anything? If they actually fix things they have to find something new to run on. It’s like studios who focus on sequels and reboots, it’s a known quantity. They know people will show up for those platform positions, so they don’t want to remove them as an option.

      Yeah I’m in the same boat. Progressives are helping each other and clearly nobody learned from their mistakes last election by nonstop dissing Biden.

        It would almost appear they have doubled down on dissing Biden non-stop. Like its the only way they can cope with their lack of political action. Not sure how Trump pulling all restraint from Isreal and providing them with more money than ever is pro-palestine, but you’d think that crowd won the election by not voting or something.

    Christ almighty, no. It’s bad enough that the Democratic consultancy didn’t tell him to go fuck himself when he thought to run for president a second time.

    They still think all they need to do is more fundraising. The Democratic party is cooked.

      They get easy money from millionaires, billionaires and large companies.

    We desperately need new blood in the Democratic party - people who understand how to actually work for working class voters and to communicate that and earn back people’s trust.

    Joe’s a good man, but his brand of ‘actions speak louder than words’ does NOT work in the Trump era.

      It would work if he took action more…

      Says “Action speaks louder than words” and then doesn’t do anything of note as a president

      The man who ran against school desegregation and busing, was the architect of mass incarceration and considered Strom Thurmond to be his friend is a good man?
