I can see why you want to distract form the dumpster fire that is the cyber truck and tariffs right now, but come on. Biden is old news. The next bit is from yesterday's try.
Right now, it goes like this:
it's not really "distracting" to take a step back and examine how we got here.
unless of course you'd rather not learn from mistakes
Wow, I'm keeping this one in my vault of funny. Yes, let's look at the guy who isn't president right now to see why in a month from taking over, the current president is doing an inside coup.
Looking at the context of trump getting into office is part of how we address this. It's still fairly likely that there's gonna be an election in 2028 -- going in with an understanding of what went wrong in 2024 only benefits us.
This attitude that we can only talk about immediate day to day events, that talking about strategy and constructively criticizing where Democrats fall short in responding to the Republicans -- that only hurts us, dooms us to the same mistakes we've already made. It helps Trump and his cronies.
So you agree with me about the inside coup part, cool. I'm glad we are making headway on that part. How about we focus on putting out the fire of the inside coup part before we look forward to 4 years in the future? When someone takes over and dismantles your entire democracy, that's usually a priority.
edit: Last comment.
Alright then. I'd like to see democrats be as obstinate to trump's policies as we've seen Republicans be when Dems are in office. If democrats are serious about this, they need to pull support and funding from party members who can't toe the line, like Senator Fetterman who broke with the party to pass the Republican's budget.
We got trump because people ignored history, and your suggestion is that we ignore more history?
No. Everyone should be accountable not just who you don't like. Everyone.
First, the book isn't even out yet so no it isn't old news. It is supposed to be released in May. Now in terms of distracting, what am I distracting you from? Do you intend to just scream "Trump bad" for 4 years then when elections come around make that your campaign? How about figuring out why you lost in 2016 & 2024.
How are the tariffs working out right now? You feeling good about your guy?
Imagine being a rabid Democrat. All my reasonable homies hold their nose while voting blue
Lol, Trump isn't my guy. I voted third party. The more you talk though the more I'm inclined to believe you're part of the pro-genocide crowd that helped Trump get elected. If you're concerned about my financial situation though no need to worry. I'm still doing fine. House prices have actually dropped a little which is good for me since I'm looking to buy.
Oh yes, the third party I've heard so much about that was going to save us. How's that going?
I'm glad that you're seeing the economy crash as we head into a recession as a great thing for you. You're not worried about the genocide or trump taking over Gaza and making it a resort? You obviously care deeply about the genocide. This is my last comment to you, have a great day picking out a home.
ETA: In case he changes it.
Why would I change it? What did I say that bothers you so much?
You failed to agree completely with their vitriolic hatred.
