I still can’t believe he got away with this. The US is truly fucked.

      One side wants, enables, and defends fascism. The other side only offers token resistance and refuses to allow any populist or progressive candidates onto the presidential ballot (remember when Bernie Sanders won the vote to be nominated in 2016 and the DNC said “no” and appointed Hillary Clinton anyway?). Biden promised to codify Roe v Wade, un-schedule cannabis, and forgive student loan debt. None of those things happened. Instead, corporations were given priority over the voters, on every issue, for another election cycle, so the hard Rs could continue their corporatism and fascism unimpeded as soon as they were elected again.

      When the end result of electing one is corporatism and fascism, and the end result of electing the other is still corporatism and fascism, but four years later, who cares whether there’s any technical distinction between them?

      Sucks is an understatement.

      Look, there’s enough to go around. If anything, the horrid state of the Democrats should only highlight just how fucking bad the Republicans are.

      Like, the bar was set down a mine shaft by the Democrats to begin with. What do you mean the Republicans reached the fucking planet core?
