President Joe Biden address the nation Thursday from the White House vowing a peaceful transfer of power. He said he congratulated Donald Trump on winning the election and also spoke with Vice President Harris.
You’re old, straight, white and rich, motherfucker – YOU’RE going to be “ok.” Everyone else is fucked.
And this is exactly what’s wrong with the Democrats, and why Biden never should’ve run. They’re too comfortable in their big houses with all their money and privilege. They have no fucking idea what it’s like for most Americans, and clearly they don’t care because they’ve never had to. There is no party in the US to fight for regular people, so they didn’t vote.
Except that they’ve spent the last 6 months telling everyone that it’s a choice between them and fascism. Then when fascism comes they’re like “oh well, we tried”.
I’m just hoping that this loss will eventually make the Dems look inward, but I’m not holding my breath when he’s saying shit like this.
The Democrats had 4 years to do something about it and didn’t. “Vote for us or else” is not a long term strategy, all it takes is losing one or two elections.

Biden was there to beat Bernie.
Greens are still here! I think we got 600,000 votes this year.
They are shit but they cant be alarmist reactionaries either. They need change but trying to encourage stability and console people isnt the worst

Fascism is something to be alarmed about! It’s an existential threat to democracy!
