I really like and respect Biden overall, but I kinda do blame him. As the president, when he decided to run again, there was little the party could do to stop him. He should have known he was too old.

Biden was obviously too old to run again. I don't think this is controversial at all

It was fantastic, but No. A truly phenomenal performance and message unfortunately can't repair the damage that has been by Trump and MAGA. I'll take it, but we have a LONG way to go.

VA Gov. Spanberger (moderate, was in CIA) and NYC Mayor Mamdani (left, is in DSA) both taking steps to block local law enforcement from helping ICE as it violently violates people's rights is a good example of how the relevant divide in the Dem coalition isn't center-left, it's fight-don't fight.

Yeah I think the rural resistance is mostly just NIMBY

We are at an inflection point in American history⚠️

The president's an evil πŸ¦‡πŸ’© crazy fascist who created a brutal Gestapo-like paramilitary force with more funding than the Marines that's terrorizing American cities.

And there's nary a soul to stop them.

Dems aren't perfect. But it's either them or the worsening chaotic insanity we have now.

Yes, they need to get louder. But WE need to get MUCH better at understanding what Dems have the power to actually do, and not punish them for what they can't.

This beautiful child, an American citizen just like his parents, is being bullied because Donald Trump is a racist piece of shit and white supremacy feels emboldened to act without shame. This hatred is taught and it is wrong.

I'm so sick of posts like this that imply Democrats and Republicans are equally to blame. Dems are in the minority in both houses. It is squarely on the Republicans for enabling this insanity. If even a handful of Repubs had principles and guts, Trump would be removed from office immediately.

Fair point. Sorry for being a jerk. Given your views, I was just surprised to see a post from that source.

Why are you directing traffic to Trump propagandizing CBS news? Surely, there must be plenty of other sources for this story

The murder began about a month earlier. You were just watching it slowly die. (But I know what you mean)

Partially agree, but it's also just more of the same. Maybe though it's gotten a bit worse for the reason you say. Definitely makes sense that it would, although it's hard to say he's necessarily acting differently than he did 8 years ago

Interesting read and maybe you're right, but personally I think what we're witnessing is 99% just his age-related failing health and cognition. His age and poor health are the only things that give me any sort of confidence we'll make it through this disaster

You can use AI in limited ways that are marginally helpful (e.g. "Alexa, what's the temperature?"), without thinking it's going to change everything or replace real human insight or creativity. AI is here whether we like it or not, and we can choose whether or not we let it take over our lives

Thank you for this. I'm all for public transportation, but the original post is dumb.

Possibly true, but without a Bush presidency, we probably never would have had an Obama presidency.

Depends on exactly who you're talking about. The MAGA base? Absolutely. But there are many lean-Repub voters who can be swayed, particularly by economic conditions that hurt them personally

It's also possible to just know that it's wrong even if you haven't been personally affected
