There are no military bases on maui. Just a few armories and a small national guard station.

They literally did though, in those exact words.

I said you’d use that as a distraction and not engage on any of the topics I listed and lo and behold, thats exacly what you did. Frustrating.

Ok, but no one here said that. Thats a strawman liberals put up to avoid a few topics.

Those topics you’d rather not talk about:

Is all of gaza destroyed right now or not? Were tens of thousands of innocent civilians massacred there with our help on Bidens watch?

If you admit the above then he’s a war criminal isnt he.

Bidens response to the defund and reallocate movement for justice was to ignore the plees and increase police funding, correct?

Did abortion go down on Bidens watch? Did his previous work as head of the senate judiciary committee contribute to that?

Didnt Biden carry through with his promise to the rich donors that “nothing would fundamentally change”?

Biden and Harris were not for gun control were they. Are guns just not a problem anymore in our schools? School shootings stopped?

Did the Dems talk about the issues important to the poor and middle class? They sure needed their votes.

Did Biden have the polling numbers to win at any time in the 2 years leading up to the election? And did Harris do anything to differentiate herself from what was clearly a candidate who was about to lose in a big way?

Did Biden/Harris even bother to craft and talk about a Dem party platform? All we heard was “I’m not trump”.

Do you think if Harris had differentiated herself from Biden, talked about the poor and working class’s struggles and afirmed that the gaza war had to change, she would have still lost? I dont think so. But she chose not to do those things right.

And now Biden/Harris lost but its everyone elses “fault”? come on man. Stop lying to yourself and holding a pointless grudge and leveling these “both sides are the same” playground name calling distractions from these truths. Biden and Harris made the choices that led to the loss. They are not victim here, they are the perpetrators. We all got effed by their incomptence and hubris. Every demographic of voter was angry at Biden/Harris. Do you deny that?

You shouldnt be blaming the desperate voters who have been ignored and abused by their party, while excluding Biden/Harris from any blame. Some of you lot keep saying he’s one of the best presidents ever-- when all of the above topics argue pretty strongly otherwise, if you;d just acknowledge that the topics even exist.

But you wont. You wont reply, you’ll downvote, and thats the end of it for you.

Biden Harris and the centrists were also warned. All they had to do was the right thing but they couldnt be bothered. Now we all get to suffer together.

I wouldnt say they wanted fascism, a lot of voters just didnt want any more Biden.

Because oaths are for chumps, I guess. Looks like Biden finally chose to make use of the unitary executive power the supreme court gave the president. And he used it to do a favor for tiktok. Why am I not surprised.

You’re comparing an existential threat that you care about to one that has a massive tally of dead bodies. And the dems funding the genocide and running cover for it – you claim thats simply, " two stepping when Israel demands".

And then you call me stupid.

And then you pretend “the Dems at least sometimes say no”. Who cares what they “sometime say”. Its not about saying things its about actions. The only pushback Biden ever gave the Israelis was pausing one shipment for a short time-- which is nothing. A purely performative nothing.

You sir or madame are just a victim of propoganda and your own self centeredness and immorality. Theres dead bodies there killed with your support and you try to sweep it under the rug with a turn of phrase. Thats pathetic and monstrous.

I plan to write a sternly worded memo on my grievances and mail it straight to a white house intern.

/s

and at the same time, Eric Adams is somehow a democrat. But I’m told the party leaders didnt turn right, the Dem voters did, or some such nonsense?

Awkward that we just finished a genocide under dem leadership though isnt it. Spit on the accelerationist argument all you want, but you cant deny that things are badly broken when the dem leadership and their centrist toadies are the ones doing it-- all for some campaign money. Accelerationists have a very solid point when you consider that.

Sure, but we’ve been BSing each other about the fact that we have a democracy at all anyway.
“Princeton University study: Public opinion has “near-zero” impact on U.S. law.” https://act.represent.us/sign/problempoll-fba

No one debates the veracity of that study, and arguably, that detachedness is why the dems lost in every single demographic in the last election, except for a 1% gain in college educated white men. Its past time we started talking about the fact that we dont live in a democracy.

Sounds like the CEO of proton doesnt understand the basic privacy concerns for the US VPN market. He should really look that up someday-- theres money to be made in the Us market if he cared enough.
