A reminder that everytime you get upset at Trump & Musk that you should also be upset with the Democrats that got us here.
He made the right decision to drop out and let someone younger take the mantle. Can’t say the same for Republicans.
His campaign & Democrats lied about his cognitive decline & ran cover for him, which gave people reason to trust Republicans who had been saying it. By the time he dropped out he had already done significant damage to the party. Sure you can be thankful he dropped out, but he still helped Trump win.
The whole “he didn’t really sign all those executive orders” thing is also a really bad look. Especially when you consider that his resignation from the 2024 presidential run signature looked different from all the signatures on his many pardons and executive orders that he allegedly rushed out in the final days of his presidency.
Combine that with the interviews where people ask him why he signed executive orders for things and he responded with “I never signed anything like that”.
It really really looks like the Democrats were playing weekend at Bidens for at least the final months of his presidency, but probably longer.
Edit: added a word I had somehow missed.
Weekend at Biden’s. That’s awesome!
I’d rather have Biden in the White House right now.
He did a damn good job fixing things Trump broke.
But you can’t cause he helped get Trump elected.
You’re not going to make any inroads with a crowd that deepthroats boot for fun.
You’re faced with half, “Whatever Biden did, he’s on my team and part of my identity,” and half, “Let’s quickly sweep uncomfortable truths under the rug.”
America got Trump elected by voting him in.
And timewarp helped by coming here to consistently shit on Democrats and praise Jill Stein, then rabidly voted for Stein because Palestinian genocide.
So glad the Palestinians are safe now.
Lol… oh no did I dare criticize. Did I vote for the same candidate as a majority of Palestinians?
Were you one of those calling Palestinians dumb saying you know what is best for them & they should sit down, shut up & do what you tell them? I imagine a lot more would have wanted to vote for Kamala Cheney had she actually said what she’d do differently than Biden, other than having a Republican in her cabinet.
I can see why you want to distract form the dumpster fire that is the cyber truck and tariffs right now, but come on. Biden is old news. The next bit is from yesterday’s try.
Right now, it goes like this:
- Republicans and/or Trump do something fucking crazy that’s not only never been done before, but probably illegal.
- Everyone shouts frantically, “WhY areN’T tHe DeMS doINg ANyThiNG!” while saying in a rational, quiet, tone, “That’s just how Republicans are.”
- Repeat
it’s not really “distracting” to take a step back and examine how we got here.
unless of course you’d rather not learn from mistakes

Wow, I’m keeping this one in my vault of funny. Yes, let’s look at the guy who isn’t president right now to see why in a month from taking over, the current president is doing an inside coup.
Looking at the context of trump getting into office is part of how we address this. It’s still fairly likely that there’s gonna be an election in 2028 – going in with an understanding of what went wrong in 2024 only benefits us.
This attitude that we can only talk about immediate day to day events, that talking about strategy and constructively criticizing where Democrats fall short in responding to the Republicans – that only hurts us, dooms us to the same mistakes we’ve already made. It helps Trump and his cronies.
So you agree with me about the inside coup part, cool. I’m glad we are making headway on that part. How about we focus on putting out the fire of the inside coup part before we look forward to 4 years in the future? When someone takes over and dismantles your entire democracy, that’s usually a priority.
