    Quality article. What a headline. Spicy callouts. Great contrasting.

    at this point, I’m guessing he must be glad his legacy in the middle east will be fulfilled.

    Legacy?

    This is his and the parties legacy. They made this. it’s a direct result of how first the governed, and then campaigned.

      Exactly. His legacy is not doing what he promised, not being that bridge to the next generation. Only giving up his lust for being president when it was too late.

        Its beyond the scope of my comprehension, how you can call Trump a fascist one week, and then congratulate him winning the next.

          It’s easier when you’re a fascist that only relinquished power when the mob was at the door.

            This has the right idea, but they still would be better even if they didn’t. Maybe even more better.

              Yeah, they could conduct a peaceful transfer of power without the congratulations. They would be ruthlessly mocked for being sore losers, but they would be internally consistent at least.

              It’s not the right idea. Decorum is just another token of the privileged to distinguish those that make the decisions from those that feel the consequences. Why get incensed at the dismantling of people’s freedoms when you can afford to insulate yourself from any hardship?

          Biden undermined democracy by preventing a proper primary from taking place. The voters never got to nominate a candidate, and the establishment thrust a candidate on them that had already been rejected in a previous primary. That’s the establishment’s fault, and Biden if the face of the Democratic establishment.

          Is it? He single handedly tanked the opportunity to find a strong Democrat candidate through a primary. After being forced out he repeatedly made comments that saddled Harris with his baggage.

          He’s not 100% to blame, but no one is. He is probably about 30-40% of the problem though.

            I think the voters who voted for Trump are probably at least 90% to blame for Trump being elected by voters into office?

              Sure, but Biden/Harris hemmorrhaged about 15,000,000 voters between 2020 and 2024 due to lacking messaging that appealed to the electorate. Turns out that “this guy is a fascist but also we want to do bipartisanship with his party” doesn’t really appeal to people.

            Easily 60%

            Biden is trying to skate on his “Oh I’m an old grandpa looking figure, look at my creepy-ass smile.”

            As though people will forget how his actions (and inactions) curated the requirements for our current scenario. Including giving Harris a nearly impossible task, which she also managed to flub as hard as possible while lighting a BILLION dollars on fire.

              I’d hesitate to give him that much blame, as Harris could have ran a campaign that more aggressively separated herself from the administration, or one that campaigned for things instead of against Trump. She deserves an equal or greater amount of the blame.

          If you don’t see the direct connection between how Biden has governed and how that set up Trump to win, I don’t know that you can be helped.

    Joe Biden Circa 2024: “I don’t wanna give up this beautiful office chair in this weird oval shaped office yet, gimme 4 more years to sit on this chair… hmm what was my name again? welp, cant remember… but this chair is so nice!”
