      They could at least stand behind the messaging from the campaign.

      If you call someone a dangerous threat to democracy for a year, and then when they get elected you wish them well and act civil, it really undermines your point about the whole threat to democracy thing.

        Exactly. I believe Trump truly is an existential threat to the world and American democracy. To Biden and Harris, it was just campaign jargon.

        They are a threat because they will do what you want Biden to do.

          Because you have no fight in you. Was MLK civil? More than Malcolm, maybe, but no he wasn’t.

          Bernie Sanders has more fight right now than anyone in the upper echelons of the DNC.

              I didn’t choose hitler 2.0, no. I find this complacency you have revolting.

              The correct time to do something about Trump was 4 years ago after January 6th. He should be in prison on sedition.

              The correct time to smile as you hand the keys over is never. And yet, that’s what the democrats are doing.

              No acknowledgment of their colossal failure,
              no acknowledgment of their present unelectibility,
              no acknowledgment of how hard things are about to be for people,
              no leadership about what to do now that our government is owned by X.com,
              no resistance.

              I’m not asking for a second January 6th: do the democrats even care?

              Presidents are supposed to be professionals and should act like it

              I’ll try to remember this as the corpses of Trump’s administration pile up.

                  What are you asking for then?

                  Literally anything to rebuild public faith.

                  If you haven’t seen it, this was Bernie Sander’s response to Trump’s victory given while Kamala Harris, our last hope, was on vacation.

                  The DNC is so beaurocratic, toothless, and boring that they lost to someone who holds the bible upside down.

                  And why? Because they don’t believe in anything. They’re soulless husks that amber about doing whatever their corporate donors tell them will sell to their demographics right now.

                  What should they do? I’d love to hear one of them present a single fucking idea. Even a bad one.

                  Blue states, round the national guard, project yourself as a safe haven for the would-be deported. Blue in the senate, obstruct and delay as much as possible. Pull the fire alarm, I don’t know. The system has crumbled, act like it.


                  Anyway, I’ve been soapboxing for long enough. You have a good day, man.

              Presidents are supposed to be professionals and should act like it and that includes not being a bad loser.

              Apparently, you wrote the rule book and Biden and Harris are following it.

      The majority voted for Trump in a country with voter suppression, gerrymandering, and even terrorist threats against voters / poll workers. I don’t know what to think of that statistic in light of… many exhausting decades of bullshit.

      A PLURALITY voted for Trump, NOT a majority. Don’t help them with their propaganda

      Was it truly majority? And is it 100% certain there was no fraud?

      I heard in finland’s news there was somekind of arson attack at some point which destroyed bunch of votes, while the elections were still going but i have no idea how much. I dont think they would fabricate such news.
