TROPICUM Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 I'm not sure how to explain myself, but each presidency of the 2010's had something polarizing. Obama's second term was filled with the Afghanistan mess but somewhat "peace". While Trump's was obviously such a shocking win + his term was full of messy decisions and social tension. Biden just doesn't have that spark, his win felt almost forced with some air of "relief" that he might solve what the Trump administration did, instead he is just equally hated by both parties and the majority of Americans for literally doing NOTHING. Is it truly that Biden's era tanked and flopped with zero noise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shookspeare Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 I literally forgot who our president was the other day so yes it is, however, an event in the sense that it's been messy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GraceRandolph Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 (edited) Yes. I don’t even think “Biden” is home anymore. The DNC never should’ve pushed this senile candidate down our throats. Edited July 12, 2022 by GraceRandolph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddy Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Yes and the Democrats can kiss my ass in the midterms and 2024. I was over them sabotaging Bernie for a while now but with this recent Supreme Court mess, it's become extremely apparent that we needed another FDR for this moment to fight back. Biden couldn't give less of a **** to do so. Democrats are now conservatives - they fight to conserve the way things currently are that aren't working, while Republicans effectively push us further and further to the right. I'm never voting Democrat again and I don't care what anyone has to ******* to say about it. I don't have hope in a single one of them. They are all ineffective fraudulent losers.

Aurora Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Why did I read this thread title as "Was Biden's pregnancy a non-event?" at first? OT: As a non-American I can't really weigh in on this conversation, but it doesn't seem like he did for the US what the Democratic voters thought he was gonna do.

I will still most likely vote Democrat locally (assuming said candidate isn't a corrupt pos) but never presidentially again, at least not for a LONG while. I don't think there will be any hope on that level for another decade or two or even three or four. Probably won't vote third party either as the Green Party has never been appealing to me. I've essentially become an accelerationist at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planet Mars Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 I'd say the opposite, he's incredibly polarizing and his presidency will for sure mark a significant shift in the story of the democratic party. The truth is the party is splitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC. Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 I think you can shift some blame to the senate. Dems barely have the majority and they all cannot get on the same page. Republicans can get in line behind any cause they are going to push while the democrats suck because of the moderate/progressive divide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gov Hooka Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 He’s governed like trump: more deportations, more detention of migrant people fleeing violence inflicted by the US, more drilling permits on federal lands, continuation of border wall construction, increased federal funding of police, increased defense budget, increased military industrial complex handouts in the name of “human rights,” etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike91 Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 It'll end up as a wasted 4 years. All the problems this country is facing and Biden is just sitting on this hands waiting for Manchin and Sinema to tell him what he can do. Of course anyone could have predicted this. Hopefully the Democratic Party gets it together but considering what they have lined up after Biden, there isn't much hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Bomb Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Zero noise would be a lot better for him. He is actually disastrous for the liberal idea of "just vote". It is a damning event of elections in this country. At the very least people would vote out all of the dinos in leadership right now. We will see how primaries go in 2024.

Anyone who thinks trump has the gop nomination in the bag is foolish. It will very likely be DeSantis and he is much worse and effective than trump. this country’s lack of a true working class leftist movement outside of the pathetic candidacies of Bernie and eye roll-inducing “yass queen” worship of “progressive” politicians like AOC and the Squad is a large reason why the US will become more rightwing.

Slap Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 I get people’s frustration but I’d rather a non event over somebody who tried to overthrow a democratic government for their own delusional grandiose narcissistic ego, or who let almost a million Americans die from COVID by spreading misinformation and lies about its existence, its severity and how to treat it (or have we forgotten about Bleachgate?), a non event over somebody who stacked the surpreme court with anti abortion republicans including one who sexually assaulted women.

I know exactly how you feel but joining an org that isn’t the Democrat party or whose mission isn’t aligned with electoralism (so not the DSA - but there are committees within certain local chapters doing good work on the streets) is one of the most important things for leftists to do in this moment. Building Systems of support outside of the government (and building up a robust labor movement and increasing union membership) is what we should all be doing.

More people died from covid under Biden’s presidency than trump, and Biden admin has loosened several restrictions despite covid surges happening a few times in the past six months. They basically took “advice” from the Delta CEO requesting the quarantine to be lowered to 5 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
