Ew, yuck, Joe Biden. STFU, you piece of shit. Trump is President now because of you.
I don’t hold Orwell in high regard, but this take seemed too inhumane and idiotic even for him. And it is, he actually never said this.
It’s takes like this that lead people to conclude that Americans deserved 9/11 for what their government did in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, etc etc up to Iraq in the gulf war. Or that Israelis deserved October 7th for what their government did during the nakba, sabra and shatila, etc etc. Americans did not deserve 9/11, Israelis did not deserve October 7th. They are not complicit in the crimes of their rulers. Especially when you operate in a two party system where both parties are completely and utterly beholden to billionaires.

Whose fault is that? I’d say that is on the shoulders of the American people.
I love how all Americans in the comments are mad at Biden for not stopping Trump when they all elected him to office to begin with lol.
I guess it all starts making sense when you look closer at it. The education level in that country really is circling the drain.
all Americans… they all
Trump won with less than 30% of the population’s vote. And even now, he only has an ~30% approval rating. It certainly isn’t “all” Americans. It isn’t even “most” Americans. But sure, speaking about an entire country as a single monolith makes the circlejerk easy.
Oh look it’s another “I didn’t vote for Trump so it’s not MY fault” retort. Well admittedly that is a hard argument to argue with so I’ll just say this.
And the fact he was about 37 felonies under his belt? And led to insurrection. And it is his SECOND term. And he has made threats against his own people and the world.
But most of the country didn’t vote him in? Your logic makes as much as sense as your government. You had ample time to deal with your dirty laundry. But instead of quietly coming in twice a week, you waited 6 months and brought 8 garbage sacks of clothes and then got mad there wasn’t enough machines and then beat up and elderly lady for her detergent while blasting “Rock you like a hurricane” with a beer hat.
You take responsibility and fix your shit. Till then. Yeah, the US IS a giant monolith of hatred, anger and aggression.
You don’t get trust homeboy, you have to earn it. And if you lose it, well, look at him…
PS: literally the dumbest use of quotes I’ve ever seen lmao

You’re preaching to the choir. You don’t need to try and convince me he’s an asshole. At best, that entire paragraph is just whataboutism.
But most of the country didn’t vote him in?
Correct.
You had ample time to deal with your dirty laundry.
And it’s clear that the people who were supposed to be in charge of doing that only put up a token effort to do so, to keep the public placated long enough for the next election cycle. There are a lot of Americans who were (and still are) deeply angry at the way the entire investigation was handled. And even more who are frustrated at the fact that the system’s checks and balances only work when congress is willing to actually use them.

In case you weren’t aware, the vast majority of America is only one or two missed paychecks away from homelessness, and enacting real change would require a massive effort (and create a lot of new homeless people) because it’s not Europe where you can just roll up to the capitol building on a weekend trip. Imagine if you were in Naples, and had to travel all the way to Madrid to protest your own government. Now imagine you have zero funds for a plane or train ticket, and need to drive the entire way. It’s a ~20 hour drive, which you’d inevitably need to take over the course of several days.
That’s essentially a full work week for the round trip, and it’s less than many Americans would need to travel to get to DC. And you think they’d get paid time off work approved for that? No, they’d get fired for missing an entire week of work. And that’s assuming they’re even able to return to work afterwards; Hopefully they avoided getting maimed, crippled, and/or arrested by police during the protest.
If anything, the US is a giant monolith of poverty and struggling individuals, with a thin veneer of manufactured exceptionalism keeping it from completely unraveling. The only Americans able to exert international pressure are the billionaires who have been robbing the proletariat blind for decades, and the lawmakers who are in the billionaires’ pockets.

If you have to resort to insulting someone’s grammar on the internet, you’ve already lost the argument.
He won with less than 30% of the populations vote because most Americans decided facism wasn’t that bad so they stayed home. People who didn’t vote for Harris or encouraged others not to vote for Harris looked at what Trump was selling and decided they’d like to buy.
No, they looked at what Harris was selling, and were justifiably disgusted. I voted against Trump, who is a monsterous PoS, but lets not pretend that Harris was a good candidate.
Half the country beleives their vote doesn’t matter, and based on the data it doesn’t.
I voted because I like the illusion of activism it provides like everyone else, but I know my vote isn’t counted and doesn’t matter. So I can’t blame people when they say they don’t care enough to vote.
Don’t forget the hundreds of bomb threats against voting locations in blue districts. Or the hundreds of thousands of voters that were de-registered without their knowledge. Or the fact that getting an ID can take up to 6 months, even for a renewal. Or that voting locations were redistributed out of blue cities and into red suburbs.
I’m not sure I buy that teh election was stolen with rigged tabulation. But millions of votes were suppressed, especially in swing states.
I’ll agree it’s not all. However I’ll say that the people who voted for him and the people who didn’t vote at all are the majority, therefore most.
You can’t just blame the orange ferret and his fans. You must also blame the people who could’ve voted against him but chose not to.
Centrists: “WHERE IS BIDEN!? WHY ISN’T HE DOING ANYTHING!?”
Biden: *actively working with DNC on fundraising, speaks at an event which makes headlines
Centrists: “GO AWAY YOU OLD BASTARD!!!``11~!”
Biden appointed a Republican to attorney general who then slow walked Trump’s criminal charges. Fuck Biden.
He didn’t seem too worried in this clip
If Biden really wanted to help the country and reaffirm any semblance of a rule of law he’d fly himself to the Hague and accept responsibility for the genocide and war crimes he abetted.
Anything short of that is just more self indulgent ego tripping on his part. Buy the ticket, Joe.
I wish he could be treated like every other long winded short sighted senior, and be medicated and sat in the reclining bed. He has nothing helpful to add.
I wish he could be treated like every other long winded short sighted felon, and be in a prison.
I can think of many better words for this sentence
I sometimes think about what would have happened if Biden stood up to the DNC bosses in 2016 and ran in the primary. He probably couldn’t do much against the Clinton machine, but maybe just enough to make it more competitive. Divide the corporate Dem vote just enough…

It’s quite literally Biden & Garland’s fault that Trump is not currently in prison.
Couldn’t have done it without you, Joe.
Joe had nothing to do with it lol. There was always a “not Trump” option.
An option so terrible that being not Trump was not enough to get it to the White House.
How was Harris a terrible option?
Or was it because she is a woman, and because of her color?USA got what they deserved.
Yes Biden was maybe mediocre, but how does that justify not preventing a flaming fascist sociopath from taking the office? It wasn’t Biden that elected Trump, it was the Americans.
Blaming Biden for it is idiotic.She was offering 50k tax breaks to small business and 20k down payments for first time home buyers, great on paper. But 70% of Americans work paycheck to paycheck, so they can’t utilize that. And her healthcare for all became healthcare for some became expanding the ACA. So no help for the majority of people.
And when asked if she’d change anything, she declined. But then suddenly changed her mind and said she’d add a Republican to the cabinet. Further alienating the 70% of people that work paycheck to paycheck and anyone who understand what Republicans are. Can’t forget parading around with good ol Liz too. Really winning with that one.
When asked the simple question of “Should trans people exist?” Her answer was they should follow the law. Disgusting. Unwilling to acknowledge somes right to exist in hopes of courting centrists. Instead pushing away both sides.
Her and Biden continued the genocide despite loud outcry from progressives. If progressives are such a tiny a faction that they aren’t worth catering to with policy, then you can’t be mad when you didn’t get their vote. And if you think it’s their fault the Dems lost then you should still be mad at the Dems for alienating them.
Honestly I agree with you that the US got what it deserved. But not because of its vote, rather because what we’ve become. Your options are continuing the status quo (ya know that one with 70% of people being pay check to pay check) or fascism. There was no right choice for most people. And I find it funny how privileged libs are to think there was.
The supreme court made him a king. He had every right and ability to prevent ALL OF THIS, and he just whined his way out of office.
Joe could have lit a fire under his AG’s ass and gotten this fuck in jail before he could win the election.
Biden is the only person to defeat the Orange Turd so don’t go to rough on him.
Biden is also the only person to fail to ensure a coup-leading traitor got prosecuted and thus presided over the fall of US democracy. I’ll go as rough on him as I can for that, thank you very much!
Hear fucking hear!
So hilarious to come to this discussion a few days later and see every post about this particular failing goes unanswered. Even the ride or die Biden people that seem to still want to die on his hill can’t really handle the how much he fumbled it.
He BARELY scraped a victory against the most unpopular incumbent since Ford pardoned Nixon, if not ever. He won the popular vote by a smaller percentage than Hillary did when she lost the EC.
He ABSOLUTELY does not deserve credit for barely passing the lowest possible bar and then digging a hole under it for Harris to fall into.

Yeah I agree. It would have been 4 years of BS, but nothing like this. He had 4 years to plan. We would be enjoying a democrat as president today.
On one hand, he’s not wrong.
On the other hand, he can fuck off. He had internal polling showing him losing in a landslide and he still hung on for far too long afterwards, sabotaging efforts to build a winning campaign by the eventual nominee. Biden is the man who lost the fucking republic through his vanity and hubris.
Biden is the guy that was given the biggest stick in history, and then just meekly handed over to one of the worst bullies in history.
Fuck. Joe. Biden.
Yeah, when the SC hands you unlimited power while a fascist dictator is waiting for his second chance at office… You use that fucking power.
He must watch Seinfeld
I don’t think anyone wants to hear from Biden at this point. He by all accounts did his level best to put his ego ahead of the good of the people of the country which did nothing but help further Trump’s talking points.
I want him out there speaking at events, raising money for the campaign trail. They’re off to a great start, honestly, it’s only April 2025 and they’re consistently making nationwide news.
I voted for Harris, I would have voted for Biden again, and I think anybody who doesn’t see the logic in that is incredibly foolish and just in general a disappointment.
Trump would be out of our lives now and forever if enough people understood what was at stake.
