What would it take for them to realize Genocide Joe isn't even trying to win?

Man, federation really is reminding me of Reddit, every bozo with 10 fingers and roughly enough braincells to work them keeps popping in on every political post now that we're approaching election season

'How dare you make a post critical of my team, you're supposed to hate conservatives moarrrr, NOOOOOOoooOOO you're going to help THEM WIN'

Or we get the smuglord 'oh, Biden ACSHUALLY did all these things (provides list of bills which materially helped nobody here and in some instances actively made people's lives worse)'

Biden made a campaign promise and failed to follow through on it. He lied.

Like he did about helping codify Roe, like he did about stemming COVID, like he did about making immigration humane (all he did was pass an EO making sure 'alien' got changed to 'migrant') (and hell his AG fought to have the ability to detain 'migrants' indefinitely), like he did about gun violence, like he did about healthcare reform, like he did about infrastructure, like he did about climate change, like he did about everything

'Oh he's not a king' bitch he can unilaterally pass EOs, and then it's up to courts to determine if they're permitted or not (and he can ignore them and order federal officials to uphold them anyway, ask Andrew Jackson and the Cherokee, Muscogee, Seminole, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Ponca and Ho-Chunk/Winnebago peoples)

'Oh but then conservatives could abuse that power' they don't already? And you're going to use that as an excuse to never do anything better?

You're sitting in a lake of piss moaning about how nothing can get better instead of...trying to get out of the piss lake

"If Republicans are going to do what you're saying, then Biden should Order 66 the entire Republican Party."
- But him and Bernie are giving each other handies watching from the corner (nothing wrong with cuckoldry, unless y'know it's actual politics...)
- If they really gave a shit they would have done it on January 7th. Instead, their most spineless sychophants demand that I be the one to give a shit instead. Like clapping for Tinkerbell, they can't stop the other team unless you believe!
- Like they do to...oh, I don't know, Black socialists who speak out against war. Liberals' fear about how bad it would be if Democrats actually decided to take action against Republicans is literally already what they do to leftists. The world they claim to be terrified of is the world we are already living in, and supporters of this status quo fascism have just happily helped pull the blinders down over their own eyes.
Word. Sums up my thoughts on the matter of "uwu smol bean powerless joe" perfectly. It's pathetic hwo allergic libs are to weilding power.
- Well, they're happy to wield power against us (Occupy, Ferguson, election shenanigans against the Green Party, etc.). They're just "allergic" to it when it's against their supposed "enemies across the aisle". This is one of the big things that makes it so clear that there's only one party: the Business Party, or Liberal Party, or whatever you want to call it.
Can we make this an automod response to vote scolding? This was 🔥 🔥 🔥
- If you've got the technical know-how you can make a bot that does that, like the 'whataboutism'-bot one of the comrades here made upon my request.
'Oh he's not a king'

Then why were y'all freaking out about Trump so much? If he has the power to fuck shit up so badly why can't Biden un-fuck it?

Is there any set of circumstances where dems would ever take meaningful, organized action against The Party?

If The Party were to even speak of supporting communism, dems would immediately revolt

No, because Dems aren't meaningfully organized in the first place. It's not really a Party, it's an extremely loose alliance of convenience.

Organized in the sense it's there to destroy any attempts at actual progress by only allowing centrist policies or bare minimum
The Democratic Party is the tech, finance, real estate, and military industry in a trench coat.
the DNC who decide which candidates get the money run a pretty consistent line, it's just not meaningfully connected to what the candidates say they're about.
IDK i'd definitely call the DNC/democrats a party, considering they gatekeep who is allowed to be part of it and is run by the white house when a dem is present
Word. I doubt more than a few percent of Americans even know what a political party is.

Is there any set of circumstances where dems would ever take meaningful, organized action against The Party

If you mean establishment Dems, they would take quick, ruthless action against anything that would threaten the police state or US imperialism abroad

I'll institute a fair income based repayment program so you aren't crushed by negative amortization and if you're making only twice the federal minimum wage you pay nothing

Addressing student loans was unironically a huge W from Joey Brandon

If Biden were to win, he would have an impetus to actually fucking fix something for once. Obviously this contradicts his need for obstruction, so I'd be surprised if he's actually trying to win. He knows he's likely to survive unrest.

Democratic party voters are so whipped compared to Republican party voters. R's are legit terrified of their voters, and have to follow through with their shitty culture war desires or get thrown out of office. Sure, they screw over their voters too... but it's only because their voters like the ways they screw them over.

I have long said: If the Republican party didn't exist, we would have to invent it. And while it may not feel that way today, the Republican party must exist to provide a terrifying villain for our voters. And I promise you: We're going to do everything in our power to make sure that it will be.

I am pleased and proud of the amount of education/violence that has grown from this post.

I love you, my comrades!

Today we're blaming Democrats for being blocked by Republicans?

It's so funny, every election cycle of my existence on this planet has been "republican gets elected, does whatever they want, democrat gets elected, it's soooo hard to pass laws :(", repeat ad nauseum. I have this uncanny ability known as "pattern recognition".
- Yup. Maintaining the status quo is easier than changing it. Even the tiny little bit Democrats try to change.
They had a Congressional majority for two years
- Since you evidently don't understand how the government works, both Congress and the Senate have to pass a bill for it to become law. The Senate is intentionally designed to give conservatives more power.

Yes.
The Supreme Court of the United States has already ruled that the president can extrajudicially murder american citizens, and that the Court does not have authority to overrule the President's decisions on who they place on their terrorist watch list, AND that the president can drone strike those on the list without any input from Congress or the Courts. This means that any American citizen can at any point be murdered for being in the way of the President / Executive branch entirely legally. I dare you to find a more compelling political argument than "I can have your entire family incinerated from the heavens and you literally cannot defend yourself against that".
- I love my fellow hexbears. This is the only place on earth people understand this point and will bring it out to hammer in how much unrestricted power the potus has!

If he can do nothing then why is this failure demanding to be rewarded with another term when people's lives are on the line? How many times must he and his party fail while blocking any alternative before you admit that this is intentional?
- This is one of the most frustrating things.
  
  They really need to pick either "Biden is the only person who can stop fascism" or "Biden literally doesn't have the Blower to do anything"
  
  Cus when they're still saying the second one as fascism rises it makes me doubt the first one.
- It doesn't matter if it's intentional (and what does intent even mean when you're talking about so many people), what matters is this is the best result you're going to get out of Democrats at this point. A speedbump on the way to worse things, unless they're doing the worse things already.

Then he shouldn't have run his mouth. Anything that is promised as a campaign "I'll do this" that can't be followed through on should not be said. Since he did say it, since he did say a lot of shit that he absolutely reneged (like the arch-settler he is) on, I consider him an absolute fraud who doesn't deserve my support even before his carceral segregationism, his strike-breaking, his shouldn't-be-surprising-he's-a-settler taste for genocide, or whoever ends up squaring off with him.
- Wym I'm super happy with my new cancer cure
Pretty sure he started his term with control of all 3 branches.
- Not the Supreme Court -- you thinking of having control of both the House and Senate?
I want him to actually force the opposition to vote and rule against him, rather than just give up prematurely because they might vote and rule against him. And when they do vote/rule against him, just do it again. Over and over until it's clear who the enemies of Americans really are.

Or go farther: just fucking ignore the Court. Go full on "the Court has made its decision, they are welcome to enforce it." What are they gonna do about it?

(He won't do that because it would undermine the legitimacy of both the Legislature and the Court, might collapse the government lol)

Not lying in your campaign promises would be a good start
He resumed student loan payments via fiat and built the weakest case possible for forgiving loans. He is surrounded by climbers that specialize in policy fuckery.

Stop pretending the people you think are your team in the system are all incompetent or, worse, just trying their best. They fail deliberately for material reasons. The things you're saying are their flimsy excuses that you should feel insulted by.
- Always remember - Biden personally created the student loan crisis, spearheading the laws that made it impossible to discharge or escape your student loans. The student debt crisis is one of his great policy achievements.
Oh okay so apparently the President can unilaterally move every Japanese American into internment camps via executive order yet somehow when it's time to actually do something good with that power it just doesn't exist

- Ever notice that republican presidents are extremely dangerous threats to the entire world and dem presidents are tiny babies who can't be expected to accomplish a thing? Ever notice how whenever the dems have a trifecta, there's always juuuuuuust enough of their own party members fighting them to prevent any action?
- Who is going to stop the president from ignoring a court order? Don't forget that the judicial branch firstly just made up their powers of judicial review, and have always relied on the executive branch for enforcement. I bring the up because Undermining the power of the supreme court is in and of itself a positive and democratic end, because the president is at least a little bit democratically accountable, while the supreme Court isn't in any way. To put it another way, an unelected council of lifetime appointees isn't a democratic institution. You are right that this isn't entirely genocide joes fault, the entire bourgeois "two party" regime is to blame. He is just the face of said regime
