I’m sorry but the fact that people are so outraged with Biden for doing this is exactly why Kamala lost.
Trump and the Democrats are held to completely different standards. Trump is willing to fight dirty, and that’s why he won. It sucks to hear but it’s true.
Democrats are also willing to fight dirty to win at all cost. They just did
You are confused what winning means for them. It is not forgiving student loan or raising minimum wage.
You’re absolutely right that they dont fight dirty enough. Hiwever, I’d say that Democrats lost largely because Kamala was too cowardly to distance herself from biden and his awful policies. She lost because she chose to court moderate Republicans (who gave her the finger and voted for the fascist. Big surprise!).
Biden pardoning his loser son does nothing for the most marginalized folks who will have to deal with Trump’s fascist regime in the coming year. It’s not a good look that the only time Biden “fights dirty” is to serve his own interests.
DNC: We’re the friendly fascists. We choose the corporation over the people in all aspects. We still worship the oligarchy the MAGA fascists will incorporate, we just choose the honey of caring about social issues as opposed to the vinegar of hating the others.
They have some good policy. So don’t forget that. If Americans voted based on policy alone they would do themselves a lot more good. That said, the DNC fails to win elections and have sceded so much power to the GOP already they might as well be the same.
They only have “good” policy when they know it’ll fail.
Not true
When in the fucking history of the USA has this shithole fought against fascism?
WW2, but it was a side objective, kind of a bonus
You really need to study WW2 better. Really
Do tell.
US continued to do business with the nazis well into the war, IBM is famously responsible for facilitating the holocaust. And of course, once the war ended the US promptly started internationalizing fascism as bulwark against communism https://www.counterpunch.org/2020/10/16/the-u-s-did-not-defeat-fascism-in-wwii-it-discretely-internationalized-it/
Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Operation Paperclip (and any other shit from OSS), Servia, Laos, NATO, Chinese Revolution, you can choose. If youd like a suggestion on where to start, theres a pretty good channel on yt called Eyes Wide Open, great resource with many checkable sources of information
USA didn’t fight against fascism when it fought against Nazi Germany and literally fascist Italy because Laos and NATO
Lmao wat
Fighting nazis is not the same as fighting nazism. But you are clearly unable to tell the difference
Yeah it’s not like fascism was the literal state ideology of fascist Italy or anything lmao. Or Nazism of Nazi-Germany. Lol.
Oh we’re in agreement, but what I meant is that, as much as it pained them, they happened to have fought other fascists also, but it wasn’t the reason they fought, obviously.
At this point, of cours ehe should
People will rightfully call him out and then forget about it by tomorrow when trump says something stupid.
Once trump gets in office, no one will ever be able to remember any of this because the shit will be a full never ending flow into a turbine
Once trump gets in office, no one will ever be able to remember any of this because the shit will be a full never ending flow into a turbine
Yep. There’s literally a massive laundry list of BS trump did in 2016.
Biden honestly can do whatever the hell he wants because it’ll be completely buried in three months.
Looking at Trumps upcomming cabinet I am both in horror and anticipation for what is going to happen. We’ll either see a slow decline of US power, a world war or just nothing great will happen at all.
A slow decline of US power would be a good thing for the world lmao. It’s a funny thing from the US “left” how supremacist they really are.
I remind my panicking liberal friends that the US only became a “Superpower” within the past 100 years.
So many countries have caught up.
Not only that, he’s never running again, he has literally nothing to lose, and doing this isn’t going to affect votes/popularity of whoever runs next.
99% of people in his position would do the same.
Who GAF. If Americans didn’t want a Trump dictatorship, the 10 million who voted for Biden in 2020 and didn’t bother to vote in 2024 should have fucking shown up and voted for Harris - in spite of blaming her for Gaza, or not liking that she used to be a prosecutor and therefore theoretically MUST have sent innocent black guys to prison, or being sick of no good choices, or whatever their half-assed reason was for doing nothing. At this point Biden can have Seal Team Six take out Santa Claus for all I care.
Kamala had every chance to appeal to those voters, define herself as a candidate, and provide answers for our economy, which at the end of the day is the one thing that really matters to voters. Instead, she pretended everything was fine, adopted narratives from the right and allowed them to posture like they have all the solutions, so she could look like an incompetent and feckless alternative to Republicans for people that were never going to vote for a Democrat anyways.
As a result, she very predictably failed to mobilize her own base. That is not the fault of the american public, and all of you scratched liberal vote shaming “democracy protectors” were never going outflank such an abysmal national campaign.
The Democrats are okay with bleeding voters and losing elections to fascists if the alternative is to challenge the power of capital, and the time has come to reckon with the fact that they are nothing but another obstacle in the fight for the people of this country.
Cheers to that!
I think we need to be done being talked down to by liberals who at the end of the day don’t actually care or feel a need to act.
If everyone who comments here emailed Joe Biden with suggestions as to how he could use his newly-expanded powers to help deserving people in America (or influenced by America) it would probably not make a difference, but there’s a non-zero possibility he’d actually do some of it.
That’s not abuse, that’s remediation of a political lynching wholly motivated by the butthurt babies in congress
Dark Brandon Forever
I love it how the liberals think “Well Trump did it too!” is some kind of own. America is so comically corrupt it is hard to take their government and the people who support it seriously
Lmao there are loads of those comments in this thread. I need to start blocking libs because they say so much fascist apologia
I want to be mad, but this is nothing compared to who trump pardoned.
compared to who Trump pardoned
…and will soon add himself to that list.
Everyone who is upset about this fails to comprehend that the world has fundamentally changed since then and Americans literally voted trump into office.
Either that or they’re paid trolls. Hard to tell sometimes.
Everyone that criticizes Biden or democrats must surely be a paid troll or not understand the world like me the adult in the room
Do you people not realize we hear this tritte smug bullshit day in an day out and it doesn’t make you sound smart.
You don’t understand that republicans are trying to outrage you over nothingburger after nothingburger. Its OK, it takes a long time to learn that lesson, but until you do you’re playing into fascist hands.
You don’t understand that we don’t actually give a fuck about the pardon of Hunter, it is a demonstration of all the shit he could do to help people in his last days in office, just going ham with pardons and executive orders and he did literally nothing, not even student debt relief. Do not talk to me like a child when you yourself come in here not even knowing wtf YOU are talking about.
This condescending bullshit from someone that doesn’t even understand what is so infuriating about this move in the absence of helping actually deserving people is what everyone is shitting on him for. I am not even outraged because I am not surprised. What does outrage me are liberals like you that don’t even understand what everyone is dunking on.
It’s funny how they will be all hush hush when he starts pardoning the j6 morons.
Wait when did Biden abuse his powers to prevent fascism?
Currently he’s creating a comfy transition for one to become president.
That was the point, he didn’t. he used it selfishly for his son. which is understandable. but we’re mocking him for it because he didn’t use it to do anything useful. Which coincidentally is also why we didn’t want to keep him or harris as president.
Ah, thanks!
It’s funny that so many actually believed his BS. All so they could convince themselves they were “the good people”. It’s just so ridiculous.
They didn’t punch us directly. They paid people for that. That’s why they are better than everyone. See how they sit above us?
You really start to get all those older writings about the dangers of upper classes cause they really do get apathetic and assume moral superiority just on existence after a while.
There is one party closely associated with judging others and is filled with elitist snobs.
I’m torn.
It’s bad to pardon family, but at the same time, I’d fully support pardoning a random person who had a no-prison plea deal the judge threw out after the defendant admitted guilt.
Especially when the crime that resulted in a jail time sentence is one that’s almost exclusively used as an add-on for violent offenders. Any person with a medical Marijuana card and a gun or who ate half a gummy at a friend’s house in a state where it’s legal while their gun was locked in a safe at home has committed the same crime.
But it also looks bad for him to pardon his son, and Trump’s sycophants will absolutely cling to this.
Unfortunately Biden is known for packing up the slavery prisons with people who in any just country shouldn’t be there and keeping them there for the profits of corpos. In this light him pardoning his son is even worse than just nepotistic abuse of power.

I agree with you that the sentencing was incredibly unjust and clearly politically motivated. I’m just incredibly frustrated that Biden is not doing anything that’s useful to Americans during his last few months in office.
That’s a pretty bold assertion that Biden is not doing anything useful to Americans.
Ok. What has he done in his lame duck period, or expressed intention to do, that helps Americans? So far I’ve seen him double down on helping Israel commit genocide and I’ve seen him pardon his son. I’m happy to be convinced otherwise but I’m sure not seeing it now.
They’ll cling to it but now that Hunter is pardoned all they can do is whine, just as Dems will do after Bonespurs pardons himself. But both will be done deals. Hunter Biden’s case will be over - no more wasting congressional time and resources with pointless hearings and investigations.
Yeah this is a man who committed a minor crime that’s rarely prosecuted who was sentenced because his father is President, he was about to have a real bad time because of who his father is if he wasn’t pardoned. I can’t judge Biden for this. He’d never have pardoned him if someone who would treat him on his own merits was the incoming president
I’ll admit it, your meme was a lot nicer about it.
