In the lib brain - American civil religion is the most important thing in the universe and voting is a sacred covenant. The typical r/politics redditor the night of election day will unironically say...

Look, if people had turned out - Biden would have won and our democracy would have saved. But they didn't so we fucking get Trump again.

I'll want to say - I dunno - isn't the super-low turnout Biden's fault?

The left in the US is simultaneously pathetically weak and big enough to completely change the results of the elections

I bet Biden wants to ban Tiktok so bad he can taste it.

Netanyahu: thanks Joe Biden for the gifted subscriptions, thank you

You know why they do this, but if you want to violently beat yourself over the head with confirmation of what you already know, read Parenti's Inventing Reality.

everyone on hexbear knows. americans in general have no idea what's going on. many of them think it's a symmetric conflict.

Democrats are trying very hard to win while playing by the rules of capital and empire. They can't pivot to winning policies not because they are trying to lose, but because all the people who'd seriously consider those policies are drummed out of the party.

He walked that back almost immediately after getting into power.

Advisor in Campaign (Dec 2019): “If Biden is elected,” a prominent adviser to the campaign said, “he’s going to be 82 years old in four years and he won’t be running for reelection.”. This was solely to get people to vote for Biden before Obama saved his campaign on Super Tuesday.

January 20, 2021: "He's planning to run again," Chris Coons tells politico. This was literally the day of his inaugeration.

March 25, 2021: Biden: "I'm running for reelection in 2024."

Nov 22, 2021: Biden intends to run for reelection in 2024, Psaki says

It was only ever a ploy to get people to vote for an old ass piece of shit.

They’re both running to try and lose the election.

Simultaneously "lol Hexbear MAGA are furious they can't stop people from voting!" literally another thread here recently.

They wont be able to press those two buttons.

And with their bottomless stupidity, Dems will attempt to overcome this defeat by moving further right to appease "moderate" conservatives rather than courting the progressives that should be energizing their base.

I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere, but yesterday was the White House Iftar dinner for Ramadan and no one came

He's gonna get cooked so badly

I'm waiting for the first candidate to goon themselves to victory.

Then Biden better pull his fucking support for Israel so we can keep Trump out of the whitehouse

I’ve mentioned this before, but no lib has been able to explain the mechanics of how Trump could be worse than Biden on Gaza; because Biden already has his foot mashed down on that gas pedal.

Biden is giving Israel all the weapons they could want and then some. The administration is providing cover for the Zionist entity at institutions like the UN and ICJ, as well as domestically in press conferences and PR. There is not one iota of evidence that Biden has applied any pressure whatsoever on Netanyahu. So… what else is there for a president to do? Literally the only way a president could go any further would be to (openly) put US troops on the ground and bombers in the air. But everything about Trump’s past indicates that’s definitely a bridge too far even for him.

Biden on the other hand likes his genocide slow and steady
