I literally do blame the Democrats for Trump, and if you don't, you weren't paying attention.

Plenty of us were critiquing Clinton's campaign on those merits and were consistently talked down to in shocker the same way we're being talked down to now. Shocker, she lost. I remember saying a few weeks before the election "We're about to get Brexited." I put my vote down for Clinton, because Trump is fucking insane, and that was clear before he was President. It was clear in the fucking 1980's.

Being able to critique our leaders is supposed to be what is the difference between us and conservative voters. They're the cult who unquestioningly believes all the bullshit that comes out of Trump's mouth and diapers. I find it weird that people think we should be more like them in regards to our leaders like that would be a good thing.

The worst part for me is I literally see the hubris playing out again with Joe Biden’s stance of only running because he is the only one who can beat Trump. Polling keeps showing he is literally the only possible candidate on Dem side that could lose against him. It seems most Dems are either hoping Trump won’t win and those who think he will are shouting any and every other name including the former first lady Michelle Obama, over Biden or even his VP Harris. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/19/us/politics/trump-biden-voters-2024-election.html https://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/first-read/biden-trump-both-underperform-generic-opponents-poll-finds-rcna126098 https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-national-lead-grows-opinion-poll-republican-primary/

He needs to retire or die right now so we can get a viable candidate in there.

Biden is awesome, and will widely be viewed as a great president in the future.

This leftist trend of hating on Biden is really cringe.
