I didnt buy, so I dont have buyers remorse. Whatever good Biden does is gravy.

? You think Trump would have done nothing against Iran lol? Yeah Trump was a tooootal peacekeeper.

---

No they aren't. They voted Biden to get rid of Trump. Trump is out.

Anyway Biden's airstrike didn't kill any civilians, while Trump's did.

Everyone on the left who voted Biden knew he's not Bernie.

That's been expected and obvious since June of last year.

Almost none would rather vote for deplorable Don or the looney Libertarian if they could time travel.

All according to keikaku.

I want to punch the host in the face, like really bad. I stopped watching after he did that whole " Orange man bad" What the flying fuck is this, liberals can tell you just what they dislike about Trump. And this silly way of talking god I hate that pig fucker.

---

15 seconds in and I want to smack this guy in the face with a wet salmon

I mean he actually said "orange man bad" and he is a grown man on tv

---

Reminds me of this classic:

"Yesss. Orange man bad. Own him with logic, my master."

The rhetoric around Biden was that he was a compromise, and that to serve better interests he had to be pushed left by continued activist action. The Democratic party had to acknowledge the grassroots support that got Biden elected, and they had to keep making noise to have a chance of being heard.

But once Biden got elected, everyone took it as a win and rested on their laurels. This should be a wake-up call to keep the Democrats accountable for their promises and their fuck ups.

The worst part of all this is that Biden is still the better choice. The one dependable option to get Donald Trump out of office is big on unprecedented strikes on warring nations, and it sucks.

Biden was going to be polarising one way or the other, but the rhetoric was that if people held the Democratic party to account as much as they worked to hold Republicans accountable, Biden would be an acceptable compromise who would hopefully - hopefully - steer a bit further left to keep the progressives happy. Now is the time to put that into practice. If the left can't do that, if they're frozen in place at the thought of targeting "one of our own" over detention centres and bombing Syria, then American politics is well and truly fucked.

I don't know anyone on the left who voted for Biden without holding their nose in the first place

---

At least Biden isn't the kind of guy to lead a fucking armed insurrection with a bunch of cultists.

---

After Bernie took the money and ran for the umpteenth time, they just defaulted.

---

Repubs mad that Dems aren't being a cultist for Biden

The politics board is full of Democrats that love the status quo. They began making excuses for Biden ahead of time.


---

I don't think it's possible to have buyer's remorse when the only alternative was Trump. I never expected Biden to be great. But it's at least refreshing not having to wake up to a damn tweet being the story of the day.
---

No legitimate leftist (dems are not leftists) believed Biden would be anything other than what he is. Those who voted for him did so as a form of harm reduction.

I bought "not Trump" and so far I'm getting exactly what I asked for.

Pretty much this. Never thought Biden was gonna be great. Biden was like my 4th choice of the candidates in the primaries, but he's better than Trump.

Not sure why trumpers fail to realize that the lesser of two evils is still evil. We voted Biden cause we dont want Trump.

Those same people were the ones saying they only voted Trump because he wasn't Hillary yet they're flabbergasted the only reason so many people voted Biden is because he wasn't Trump.

i should have voted for Trump. i know that trump would do everything in his power to

*checks list*

blame the dems.

even a dead raccoon sitting on the side of the road would still be a better option than the annoying orange...

I mean, I would like to emphasize Biden didn't even pretend to not be the same ghoulish hawk he's always been. Get used to regular airstrikes of questionable justifiication via questionable means under an AUMF that's old enough to drink(and many more that aren't).
Oh, and he's wrapping himself into a pretzel justifying not coming down hard on the Saudis over Khashoggi.

i mean it's not like we were offered any other viable options.

this. i knew Biden wasn't going to be everything i wanted in a POTUS but despite that he's still 100x better than Traitor Trump

I bought a not-Trump and I'm very satisfied with my purchase although I'll think about getting something better in 4 years

This. I wanted Sanders or Yang during the primaries, but the dems picked Biden as their guy. Trump was never even a consideration. I'd have probably not voted if Trump hadn't run for a second term.

arms include things beyond firearms. they went in with zipties and tazers. also they beat a man to death with a fire extinguisher.

wonder why you failed to address the points about the zip ties and the tazers ....

whether the weapon was thrown or used as a club is irrelevant, you are correct. so you admit they were armed. thank you.

tl;dr

• Police stopped only a fraction of the violent protestors Jan. 6, but we still know of guns and explosives seized in and around the Capitol. And we know rioters brought knives, brass knuckles a stun gun and other weapons.
• Just as notable, video plainly shows the mob using all manner of makeshift weapons to attack police and force their way in, including hockey sticks, flagpoles, fire extinguishers and a police shield stolen from an officer.

They sent fucking bombs to the DNC/RNC HQs and they found a truck full of explosives.

because you are technically right, one guy had a tazer and zip ties

you were wrong about the guy getting beat to death with a fire extinguisher

and it still doesn't changed the fact that these motherfuckers coulda been armed to the teeth if they wanted to be, these are democrats that don't own guns, someone even got shot and they didn't return fire they ran

Not me

You immediately lost by thinking you could set the terms of the argument of "armed" = "guns drawn".
