    No, no, no. It’s all the voters’ fault and we need to move to the right even harder to pick up the votes of the chewing tobacco set.

    Or at least that’s the justification. Democrats know damned well that moving to the right doesn’t work but they keep doing it anyway because they want to.

    He’s right, but for the wrong reasons.

    He never should have been running against HitlerPig. On the day after his Inauguration, he should have had HitlerPig and his henchmen rounded up and sent to Guantanamo Bay for extensive interrogation. We knew then how much he was involved with Putin, and that alone would have been enough reason.

    But then there was also the Insurrection, which was enough justification. Then the stolen documents and the False Lectors Scheme would have been uncovered, and more people would have been arrested.

    Then they could have had congressional hearings about the 14th Amendment/Section 3, and officially identified those involved with the Insurrection, including spreading The Big Lie that made it possible, and at least 50% of Congressional Republucans would have been rendered ineligible to hold office, and many of them would have gone to jail.

    Instead, Biden appointed the weakest Republican in existence to go after them, and he dicked around for months, giving HitlerPig a two year head start in running out the clock. They continued to treat HitlerPig’s open criminality like it was a legitimate political difference, when it wasn’t. It was full-blown treason, and he was allowed to get away with it, simply because he was rich, and because Democrats are even more cowardly than Republicans.

    IF there is another election (which i highly doubt), the Democratic candidate needs to put punishment of HitlerPig and his criminal gang as their top priority. MAGA must be crushed and purged from our government. It can’t be allowed to fester, and poison the efforts to return America, and the world, back to normal.

    I wish these people would just take their free ride into irrelevant oblivion. We all want to forget about them, but they keep coming back to say the most annoying shit.

    You are also partially responsible for not doing a god damn thing to prepare the government or the country for what was coming before you left. You just fucked off since the election and coasted into to the sunset while covering your own ass. I’m not saying he was the worst, but man, he could have done so much fucking better in the end.

      Don’t stop there. Let’s hear what you think he should have done so we can evaluate your argument on its merits instead of the strawman you’ve constructed.

        Well, just to name a few:

        • sack Garland after it became apparent that he was not fit for purpose. Better yet, he shouldn’t have even picked him
        • sack DeJoy (do not give me that bullshit about how “his hands were tied” - that’s demonstrably a matter of interpretation)
        • GOP wants to lean into the maximalist interpretation of executive power? Maliciously comply.
        • pack the court

        I can go on, at length, but I’m sure you’re starting to get the point.

          Garland did the job he was hired to do. He slow walked the investigation so biden could run against trump again.

        He should have ensured in the four years he had that Trump was prosecuted, found guilty, and sentenced to federal prison for his part in January 6th.

          Amazingly, yours is the only answer that backs up OPs original claim and you’re not the OP.

          You’re right it’s worse. “Fucked off since the election”. As in, it’s just absurd nonsense that ignores any of the good things Biden tried to do like wiping away student debt which was life changing for the people that had debt wiped away. Doesn’t mean Biden shouldn’t have done more, but my point is the comment is weak af and lacks substance.

        I’ve got one: Biden should’ve legalized DMT. It is a beautiful substance that the government is suppressing because they fear the good it offers.

    “he should have done more to “advertise” his agenda, including accomplishments that he said could bear results years after he left office.”

    Yeah no. An accomplishment that maybe kinda sorta happens 4-6 years from now isn’t actually an accomplishment and everyone knows that.

    “Look, I know we don’t have EV infrastructure NOW, but man… in 2030…”

    No. It doesn’t work like that. You threw billions at the project and accomplished fuck all. That’s not a win.

    $7.5 billion for charging stations.

    0 built 2 years later.

    Or maybe it’s 7 in 4 states?

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-solutions/2024/03/28/ev-charging-stations-slow-rollout/

    Would you believe 214 in 12 states?

    I mean duh. But so is Harris.

    But far, far more importantly than either of them were their defenders/ apologists in media, both social and traditional, who were the real barrier to moving these candidates to better more popular positions that could have gotten them elected.

      Let’s be fair here. The candidates just didn’t want to espouse better more popular positions, and neither of them could run on anything democrats ran on in 2020. Not after democrats wrecked their credibility by reaching across the aisle to help republicans block BBB and the minimum wage increase.
