The number of people who are seemingly ignorant of any of the actual politics of Joseph is alarming. Democratic aligned politics has devolved to the same level of Republican politics in the sense of metrics and language. “Economy good” is an absolutely wild way to summarize Joe’s politics and the impact on politics that he had. He was a conservative man. From his earliest days as a politician, he was conservative. He played a not insignificant role in creating the modern political landscape. Including in essentially running interference for Clarence Thomas during his initial candidacy for the Supreme Court (Thomas had dozens of credible allegations of sexual harassment and sexual misconduct). Biden was notoriously pro colonialism throughout the entirety of his political career, including active support of Israel and its colonization of Palestine going back to the 70s. He spent decades campaigning on anti-crime discourse that prioritized higher budgets for police to spend targeting minority communities, a fact he was absolutely aware of.
The political legacy of this man is not “Economy good”. It is a lifelong career against workers rights, minority rights and pushing conservative agendas within the democratic party against leftist ones. His term as president did not see any degree of preparation for the rise of fascism. He played a significant role in the failures of the democratic party during the election campaign. Refusing to step aside, proving his own incompetence over and over again, refusing to push a progressive platform, refusing to denounce colonialism and genocide, and ultimately playing into many of the same political talking points of American fascists. Joe Biden is a stain on American history. He spent his last 4 years of political relevancy fighting against workers rights and protecting international genocidal institutions. All the while he made an absolute mockery of the institutions of political power in the united states and helped truly ring the funeral bell of American trust in federal institutions.
Let his failure be a galvanizing lesson about all the failures of American liberalism. Leftism is the only true political opposition to fascism. This election was not lost because democrats went woke. It was lost because they refused to change. It was lost because of their own blatant hypocrisy and refusal to campaign on working class politics and humanitarianism. Liberal conservatism handed the reigns to fascism.

this was during the 90s crime wave? Right?

i have yet to see a single lefty produce a functional model of government. Liberals base their entire ideology off of a functional governmental model. You have an uphill battle in this regard.
Cuba, Vietnam, China, Venezuela, the USSR. These are some examples of a lefty functional model of government.
but your gonna say “those governments did bad things”
And I’m gonna say “not as many bad things as the capitalist US of A”
the USSR was really only successful during it’s period of industrialization, past that they didn’t advance much and really only coasted on oil until that started to crash and basically killed them. Stalin also had some, interesting ideas of leadership.
China is an authoritarian state, has been for a long time, mao was, arguably one of the worst leaders ever. Created a massive famine that killed millions just so he could make a single nuclear bomb.
I’m not particularly familiar with the rest, so i can’t really comment. I guess you could argue that the US has done bad things, but so has basically every super power. It’s not really anything new. The primary thing is that the US still exists, china also does, but they’re also having domestic issues as well.
The argument is whether “lefties” have a functional model of government and they objectively do, contrary to your claim.
As for superpowers all doing bad things, I’m arguing specifically that the US does and has done significantly MORE bad things than other big countries like China or the USSR.
also I listed 5 countries and 4 of them still exist. You skipped over 3 of them because you realized how weak your argument was
If that quiet old man hadn’t decided to try to cling to power despite no longer being fit to hold the office, we might not even be in this predicament.
You’re missing a little genocide factor and a shitloads of unkept promises here
Yeah, the “leftifts” that didn’t show up for those “reasons” are as bad as the magatards and bear the same responsibility. As a leftist myself (not in US though) I curse the absurdism of leftist politicians and electors and their puritanical behavior that can’t seem to do real politics.
You want them to keep voting for the lesser evil until eternity with both evils moving further to the right every election, got it?
Nothing absurd there.Both parties keep moving to the right becuase voters keep rewarding right by wing behaviour. You get the politicians you vote for
Well that’s what I said
When were those days, exactly? I’ve studies a hell of a lot of history, and I can really only point to two moments:
-
The American Civil War, but we were both the good guys and the bad guys there, so doesn’t really count.
-
WW2. We fought against fascism. We were squarely on the side of the good guys.
I’ve never been alive when America was the good guys, and neither has the vast majority of anyone else.
As a history nerd that has gone down many rabbit holes a lot of the worlds problems of the last 200 years and beyond are because of countries like USA, England. Russia, Spain etc.For example Central America and even some of South America that was colonized by Spain which stole a vast amount of natural resources such as gold and silver. Later down the line some of these countries especially in central America though they were never colonized by USA USA had a lot of influence on them and even was the one controlling their civil wars like they were playing video games. As soon as communism was not a threat America pulled out of those countries and left them in a shitty place. Another example is the MS 13 terrorist gang organization which originally was founded in Los Angeles, These gang members were than arrested in United States and then deported back to Central America without giving those governments a heads up of who exactly they where sending back and by not doing that this gang turned into one of the biggest criminal organizations in the world
