    Ya know I don't ever really leave trans twitter, so going into Democrat twitter and seeing the absolute sheer contempt that they have for anyone who doesn't worship their politics let alone is to the left them is really kind of stunning.

    I wonder if it has anything to do with having a hand in creating literally every problem the country is dealing with.

    What collapse? He only got votes because he was the only candidate who wasn't a cartoon supervillain or whatever stale bread heel the Green Party has representing them. And it turns out, he's only not a supervillain because he's a boring, mundane, everyday villain.

    Because the Democrats have gotten into the office and, like they promised, nothing has changed?

    Dunno man, it's a real fuckin' mystery.

        I thought it was darkly hilarious that every dollar for COVID response was stripped out of the budget to where people now have to pay for every test and vaccine, but the second Ukraine cooked off, Washington was tripping over its own dick to move millions, then billions of supplies there.

    He knows why young voters don’t support Biden, and he knows what his audience wants to hear. He can’t say both, so he picked one.

      Republicans in Congress don't hate his guts. They love the guy as one of their own. Opposition to Biden never extends to the breadbasket issues of American policy - military/police spending, regulatory capture, and bailouts for insiders.

      Past that, the Republicans Biden is trying to impress already crossed over in prior election cycles. Your Bloomberg / Steyer / Bush voters are all trending Democrat now. Mission Accomplished.

      The folks Biden has alienated are Trump Republicans - who were already in revolt within their own party - and newer Obama/Bernie Democrats - who have become increasingly disillusioned with liberal democracy entirely.

    Why would people be happy about a guy they were sold as “the lesser evil” who has proceeded to really play in the “lesser evil” range in a way that feels very intentional not have strong support?
