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.
Wall, I for one appreciate when someone acta civil. Especially when they can't do anything anyway.
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.
They weren't president though.
Presidents, president candidates, and other persons of similar power should just accept that they lost and not do another trump. That's unless you want a political climate where every election there are fights regarding who won and a bunch of bullshit childish behaviour.
Presidents are supposed to be professionals and should act like it and that includes not being a bad loser.
But by all means you should protest every day of his presidency. But also remember that you guys choose this yourselves.
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?
I'll try to remember this as the corpses of Trump's administration pile up.
If you honestly think that. You should consider moving to another country.
Or revolt or something.
What are you asking for then? Should they just frown or make angry comments? Why, what's the point?
Sounds like you are just asking for a therapist.
Absolutely. It will quite the sight to behold, lol.
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.
If Lemmy had 'gold' like Reddit, man, I'd buy two for you.
Oh, thank you! I was wondering who was still reading, haha.
Apparently, you wrote the rule book and Biden and Harris are following it.
Bruh, yeah obviously I wrote my own opinions.
So you're an idiot.
Rude!
It's okay if your hot take isn't popular, don't take it out on everyone else though..
With effort and imagination, insults can be amusing, interesting, outrageous, or profound.Please give us higher-quality insults, or no insults at all.
He's an idiot screeching for decorum during the fall of the Republic, he doesn't deserve better and coating an insult in wit doesn't change its nature or intent.
Holy hyperbole batman, your reading comprehension might need some work.
Oh, look. They're flocking.
