Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Can't wait for him to be consistently humiliated, watch Trump clean house with a 48 state sweep and then collapse from a heart attack during the inauguration. 4 MORE MONTHS! 4 MORE MONTHS!

[–] Wolfman86@hexbear.net 23 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Theyre both the same, though.

"We're gonna do the shitty thing nobody likes we were gonna do anyway, but delay it and tell you about the delay so everyone has more time to be mad about it. Fuck you, vote for us."

We realize that we can't win with Biden, that is why we are still nominating him, but two weeks later.

Smart!

Biden is the sacrificial lamb that the DNC will pass the responsibility for supporting a genocide of almost a year onto.

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 18 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm not voting for genocide joe or his party

[–] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 18 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Right, but that's the calculus they're making for the average lib that lacks object permanence. It's going to be another round of DNC ghouls saying "I was personally opposed to the Iraq war, please do not look at any comments I made or votes I cast during that period."

Lol called it the other day dems are once again going to do the stupidest thing imagineable.

The dems currently have two options.

Switch him out now and actually have time to run a campaign for the new candidate or just run Biden the whole time.

Based on my predictive reasoning of "dems will fuck up every election as badly as physically possible" i guarentee they waffle on this for another month, swap somebody in way to late, and squander both possible opportunities.

It's really not a good sign that "think of the fucking stupidest thing possible" is a really effective way to predict dems political strategies.

The only thing that right now seems to be too dumb even for them is swapping him out for Hillary on October 20th, so I assume that's what they're going to do.

I think all of the potential candidates are now hedging their bets and waiting to run in 2028 because they don't want to be the person that ate shit against him after the assassination attempt.

Yep, it's also why the calls to kick Biden off the ticket have fallen off. The Democrats have just resigned themselves to defeat and would rather Biden eat the blame for it instead of the rabblerousers who get him ousted, who would have egg on their face if Biden's replacement lost to Trump.

Democrat politicians can be well understood when you realize that they are all just individual careerist opportunists with no greater plan or coherent party platform. Sticking one's own neck out to get Biden out is risky and could have downsides, whereas Democrats being in the wilderness campaigning against Trump is easy and risk free. Democrat motto: Keep your head down, get paid, tell everyone they're valid and you hear them

You can either please everyone, some, or no one...

for some reason the image looks like an alternate cover for wish you were here by pink floyd

[–] Justice@lemmygrad.ml 18 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Wish You Were Here came out in 1975

Biden was born in 1942

He was approximately 33 years old and already a US senator for 2 years when that album released.

In 1975

49 years ago

Holy Fuck

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 10 points 4 months ago

My favorite one I saw the other day is that Biden was born closer to the assassination of Lincoln then to his own inauguration.

[–] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 11 points 4 months ago

so, so you think you can tell

heaven from hell? blue ties from red?

can you tell a green party from a cold steel dem?

a smile from a veil? do you think you can tell?

did they get you trade your heroes for joe?

hot ashes for trees? hot air for an israeli breeze?

cold comfort for change? did you exchange

a walk-on part in the genocide for a lead role in a cage?

The adults are in charge! Yeehaw!

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 4 points 4 months ago
