I just do think he deserves a tiny bit of cred for some of his efforts

I think that once he supported genocide, he lost the benefit of the doubt. And that was the most telling demonstration of who he always was and always intended to be.

At least everything in the Fyre Festival sandwich was identifiable.

What he was doing in and of itself wasn’t bad

What’s not to like about breaking the law to sell weapons for genocide, after all.

but it was ignoring the shrinking enthusiasm of the democratic base and the growing of the maga rhetoric

Biden made a ton of promises that the left wanted in order to get elected. We got inflation instead of a minimum wage increase. We got told that the economy was getting better while the price of everything but an hour’s work went up. Telling people who can’t afford groceries that everything is great because it’s great for billionaires is a shit message from shit people.

Biden said that his decades of experience in the Senate meant that he could work across the aisle and accomplish his campaign promises. We watched members of his own party stymie every promise he made to the left, and watched people who just got what they wanted make excuse after excuse about how powerless and impotent the presidency is. After 4 years of watching trump do whatever he wanted with impunity, and just before watching biden ignore the Leahy law so he could sell weapons for genocide.

His heart was in the right place. Sure, if you consider genocide to be a virtue and lifting Americans out of poverty to be a vice.

Centrist democrats agree with him.

About everything at all times, but particularly this.

Any Texan will tell you if it has beans it’s not actually Chili

I’m a Texan and I’ve always found posturing like that to be a little silly. Like people who make a huge deal about how little vermouth they think goes into a martini.

To clarify, I like chili with or without beans, according to my mood at the time. Chili with beans in a situation that calls for chili is still better than no chili.

brb. Switching distros.

its good for the country but it might be percieved as a win for the democrats.

Not so loud. Democrats might capitulate in order to avoid one of those “win” thingies they hate so much.

Why am I imagining warm bowling alley air?

considering it’s sitting on carpet, I doubt ventilation has been a priority.

Up?

According to the genocidal center, the only evil in the world is opposition to genocide.

Fair.

Hopefully the party will have primaries.

Look closer. Those are 5.25" floppies, which never had the popularity as save icons that 3.5" floppies did.

One for unionizing, two to cover for closing the store that unionized.

The post office got wise to that. Changed their regulations so that business reply mail cannot be used as a shipping label.

We could just all walk across the street and take over the Green Party. They’re tiny and have tiny primaries.

And they actually have primaries.

Would be nice to have an anti-genocide party. Fuck the DNC.

Neither is the order.

literally ‘fuckerator’

Ah, Perry the Platypus.
