    Are you ok? Literally most of the people who are pissed at Musk being a welfar queen were just as pissed at Biden for being a weak centrist about the whole thing. Anyone even slightly to the left has been going after Elon for years.

    That country has next to zero nuance available come election day. You can’t just say everyone who’s against the obvious fascist was therefore all-in on Biden. If they had a better option they would have taken it. Well, I suppose you can say that stuff if you aren’t paying attention or acting in good faith.

      If I had a dime for every 2-pt font “You fucking leftist idiots don’t know what Biden’s done for you, here’s a big list!!! He’s the best progressive since FDR!!!” posts I’ve seen in the last year, I’d be clinking glasses with Warren Buffet.

      You can’t just say everyone who’s against the obvious fascist was therefore all-in on Biden.

      Biden’s not against the obvious fascists. That’s the primary critique of his administration. He wrapped himself in the language of liberalism while funneling enormous fortunes into the pockets of the far-right through government contracts and public-private partnerships.

      Well, I suppose you can say that stuff if you aren’t paying attention or acting in good faith.

      Acting In Good Faith would mean prosecuting people like Tulsi Gabbard, Devin Nunes, Jared Kushner, and Steven Miller for espionage, divorcing the Treasury from far-right plutocrats like Musk and Bezos, and downsizing government departments that have been co-opted by extremists.

      Instead of using the authority of the federal government when he had them, he dumped the powers of the presidency directly into the lap of a known asset of foreign powers.

        I think you’ve completely confused the Dems and the people who vote for them because they have no other choice.
