Literally treason, you guys

My favorite postmortem take so far has been "why don't democrats get in line like republicans do??"

It's just such perfect mask-off liberalism, I just want to make a supercut of it for next election when libs are whining about why their unpopular candidate/policies aren't winning.

There is no election in sight, this is prime time to criticize the DNC. Anyone trying to shut down discussion right now is the biggest loser DNC shill you can imagine.

There are only two years before the midterms. We cannot afford criticizing the party right now /s

It's like we don't even have a direction anymore. Vote to stop the trump agenda? He has all three branches, if there is anything locking up congress will do it will be fringe. They run on not passing legislation. Stop a trump third term, sorry he's not allowed a third term and if he's running for one I don't imagine the DNC can do much to stop it because major fuckery is going down.

Ok well maybe it's not all about trump. Alright, what is is about? Maintaining the status quo and never implementing any change?

100%, I even made a Marxist reading guide for anyone disillusioned by the election results.

Remember the hundreds of memes about how it was fine to do it except ~~3 months~~ ~~6 weeks~~ ~~a month~~ ~~17 days~~ ~~96 hours~~ before an election.

Turns out 4 years and a month is a little late to talk about the as yet undecided DNC leadership.

Is there any way to defend Biden’s failed policies without mentioning Trump?

Depends on the critique. "Joe is a hypocrite for pardoning his son" is reasonable. "Joe proves that it's normal for politicians to act unethically, therefore criticisms of all unethical behavior are invalidated by the rule of whataboutism" is a transparent defense of Republican corruption.

I hate this discourse that what Joe did is okay because Trump did something similar. Trump did a lot of horrible things. That doesn't make it okay for the next schmuck to come along and do the same thing. Two wrongs don't make a right. I shouldn't have to explain this to people.

[–] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 5 points 1 day ago

Drag thinks it's okay. The SCOTUS decided that the president is a king. Trump had decided to be a king. But Biden won't be a king. For the next month, drag wishes Biden would just be a little bit of a king and use his power to disrupt Trump's plans. We're looking at a fascist dictatorship, the ends justify the means.
