    “we aren’t trump” is the best argument. I wish the American people the day they voted for.

      Clearly it’s not since it didn’t wven work against George W Bush 20 years ago. It worked against Trump in 2020 because the morges were literally over flowing with COVID deaths.The Democrats keep slodding firther and further right but become less and less popular each time, while people like you atrack their critics rather than the people who keep doing the exact same political games that keep losing elections.

        The critics contributed to electing trump, so I do criticize them. At the time of the election, it’s time to get behind the candidate.

        Bitch all you want during the primaries, but when your candidate loses and trump is the alternative it’s time to hold your nose and vote for the lesser of two evils.

        It’d say I hope Americans learn and next time elect Bernie or AOC, but they have shown time and again that they will elect a corporate dem and the shitshow will continue. I’ll be over here enjoying universal Healthcare and smugness. You guys do whatever it is you’re doing.

          the election is over and you’re still behind him.

            I am still saying that he’s (or she’s) better than trump, and the caricature some American “leftists” portray is just bullshit. In the context of American president’s during my lifetime, top 3 easily.

              Yeah, I suppose you have to go back pretty far to get 3 presidents who aren’t total dogshit at everything.

            Not a lot of Republicans on lemmy to argue with, and they are beyond reach, deep in a cult.

          We keep getting told by the Democrats that we can’t have universal healthcare and that we ahould be grateful for the privilege of paying $600 a month for our health insurance premiums.

            Some democrats. Bernie, AOC, and a bunch of other are all for it. But outside of NYC and Southern California, people don’t vote for those democrats, they vote for the Bidens of the world.

      Which is why the Dems propped up Trump, so the only argument they would need to qualify for was “we aren’t Trump”. And people got tired of that “good cop, bad cop” game, where both parties are ultimately against the people.

      Only because democrats didn’t have accomplishments to run on.

        They had plenty, but the best was “we aren’t going to run the country into the ground on a speed run”, aka “we are not trump”.

            I beg to differ, but they had plenty of others which are much less easy to understand, there’s many copy pastas around with whole lists.

              I’ve seen the lists you’re talking about. They contain duplicate entries, give biden credit for Obama’s accomplishments, try to coast on Obama’s accomplishments from 15 years ago, treat “asking the DEA to look into rescheduling cannabis” as “successfully rescheduling cannabis,” and count repainting air force one as an accomplishment.

                There’s also chips act, forgiveness of some student debt, insulin price cap, return to a bunch of international treaties and organizations, and a bunch of others that are genuinely a step in the right direction.

                  A handout to corporations.

                  forgiveness of some student debt

                  The single high point of the entire wasted 4 years called the biden administration.

                  insulin price cap

                  For pampered boomers on medicare.

                  return to a bunch of international treaties and organizations, and a bunch of others that are genuinely a step in the right direction.

                  And hand waving.

                    Yes, I’m not an expert on politics of a foreign country and even I could come up with something you couldn’t be cynical about.

                    Also, you should look into diabetes, your misinformation is dangerous.
