If I see anyone blaming Biden for student loan forgiveness being struck down I'm gonna lose my shit

Because if you think this is Biden's fault, you're a vapid fucking dumbass

The republicans have fought against loan forgiveness from the start

The republicans filed lawsuits against it

The republicans took it to scotus

And the republican controlled scotus is the one that struck it down

Biden did not have the power to just snap his fingers and make student debt go away, the office of the president is not a king

And don't you fucking dare say anything about "bIdEn CoUlD hAvE eXpAnDeD tHe CoUrT"

NO, HE FUCKING COULDN'T

THAT'S NOT HOW IT FUCKING WORKS

60 votes, the Democrats have 51

Biden and the Democrats are not to Blame here, it's the republicans, it's fucking always the republicans

Vote blue in 24, vote blue no matter what, every election

Jake Sherman (with Punchbowl News) tweeted:

Breaking News--In a reversal, Speaker Johnson will put a bill on the floor to send $17.6 billion to Israel with no corresponding spending cuts, a reversal meant to preempt the Senate's border-and-national-security supplemental. Here's a letter from Johnson to the House GOP: https://pbwl.news/xx3 ...This plan is a shift for Johnson. The House passed a bill that tied Israel aid to domestic spending cuts. Senate leaders plan to release their supplemental spending bill this weekend. In the letter, Johnson said the House would not give "swift consideration" to that legislation.

Reporter Mehdi Hasan quote-tweeted:

Seventeen. Point. Six. Billion. Dollars. I would love to see polling on how many Americans agree with sending this much of their taxpayer money - more than the entire budgets of several U.S. states - to a foreign nation that the ICJ has said is plausibly committing genocide.

A young woman at a Biden campaign event stood up to call for a ceasefire and the response was loud booing from the crowd and MULTIPLE people assaulting her.

Biden supporters are fascists with a blue coat of paint. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it as many more times as I need to: if you are still a shill for Joe Biden, you are just as bad as Trump supporters. You are fascists and you cannot see an inch beyond your own comfort within the imperial core.

I know there's a million things that can be said about President Biden, but here's the cold, hard truth:

If Biden loses the 2024 election, this entire country is fucked beyond our worst nightmares.

The only people who will be safe in that scenario are upper-middle class - rich cishet white christian men, and possibly their equally cishet white christian wives.

Don't believe me?

Look up Project 2025.

the 2024 election is not ~between a fascist and a democrat~. Biden emphatically and directly supports the occupation and genocide of Palestine. the State of Israel is a fascist state. this makes Biden a fascist, too. if you are willing to vote for a fascist because he's "the better one," you aren't a realist or acting on the moral high ground. you are selfish and spineless.

(disclaimer that yes i know there are other candidates, and yes i know the democrats and electoral system are a fucking sham)

Palestinian-Americans running a pro-Trump campaign in Michigan is exactly why this people has lost every war it's fought for 103 years and counting:

The Palestinian cause is defended by a bunch of nihilistic fuckheads who cut off their faces to spite their enemies and then wail that the Zionists did it to them and that their own agonies are all the fault of the Jews, while leaving the people nominally reliant on them to be butchered and burned by the IDF while people shrug since their 'defenders' are morons on par with the 1943-5 IJA and with equal success.

Palestinian-Americans running a campaign for the man who wants to ethnically cleanse them is right in line with the wisdom their diaspora leaders showed in Kuwait in 1990 and it will go the exact same way for them that this did. This is the exact same kind of dumbfuckery these people keep doing over and over again and getting the exact same results to the point that Egypt has sealed the border to let them die and fires canister at them over open shots to ensure they do.

The leaders they have, leaders in name and not in fact, are worthless.

hi! i’m 18 and just got my state ID and registered to vote! i’d like to hear your thoughts on biden’s potential second term - i think he’s incompetent but it feels like i have to vote for him bc it would be worse if trump won. kind of a “the lesser of two evils” situation

Apologies for taking so long to answer this. It's a question that's been coming up a lot lately and I wanted to try and answer it thoroughly.

In my opinion, Biden being "the lesser of two evils" is I think pretty hard liberal cope. It's a line designed to prey on people like you that might not have the experience of knowledge to assess the political situation in this country or the dynamics at play.

So you're 18. That means you were born, what, around 2005? So you wouldn't really remember Bush II, would probably have just started being aware of things during Obama's presidency, becoming a teenager during Trump's first term, and turning 18 during Biden's. A pretty eventful youth so far.

The Democrats have been "the lesser evil" for a while now, but what does that mean exactly?

Things would start to change significantly after World War 2, and especially with the death of FDR.

youtube

The Democrat's platform starts at the 10:50 mark.

The "New Deal" Democrats would last until Jimmy Carter, but 12 years of Reaganomics would pretty much kill it. It might have been 16 if not for Ross Perot in the 92 election. For that and various other reasons, like the fall/dismantling of the Soviet Union, Clinton won.

The Reagan era significantly changed the Democratic Party, but it wasn't Reagan alone that's responsible. Reagan was the product of bourgeois reaction to the New Deal. The Powell Memo is often pointed to as the beginning of this reactionary period where the bourgeoisie started to claw back the gains the working class had made via the New Deal and LBJ's Great Society. In short, the wealthy and wealth-aspirant thought that the working class was too comfortable, too educated, and too politically active for its own good, and that would have to change.

1991 saw the dissolution of the Soviet Union, one of the greatest disasters of the 20th century. For all its faults, the shadow of the Soviet Union presented a very real threat to the bourgeoisie—the wealthy class of capitalists that own businesses big and small. As long as the USSR existed, there was a viable alternative and counterweight to the USA and everything it represented. Once the USSR was gone and the threat of revolutionary communism with it, the capitalists no longer felt they had any need to compromise with the working class.

So going into the 90s, the Democrats abandoned blue collar laborers to instead start pursuing the conservative, educated, moderately wealthy "middle class," actually the same demographics that the Republicans traditionally attracted. To appeal to them (and to satisfy their corporate backers), the Democrats started a number of reactionary measures. "Welfare reform" was one, basically cutting down New Deal programs and restricting how much they provided, to whom, and for how long. Ultimately they'd gut labor power with programs like NAFTA, and send millions to jail with the "Crime Reform Bill."

youtube

Without the Soviet Union, the 90s would also see the beginning of virtually unrestrained American military intervention. Iraq was first, but Yugoslavia would be destroyed by NATO not long after.

youtube

In short, Bill Clinton and the Democrats continued what Ronald Reagan started. This stage would culminate with the 2000 presidential elections, where Al Gore capitulated to George Bush by refusing to contest the intervention of the Supreme Court in order to not upset Republicans.

George Bush becomes president, 9-11 happens, and it's 8 years of The War On Terror. The Patriot Act is passed. The Department of Homeland Security is created. First Afghanistan is invaded, and then two years later Iraq. The US is transformed into a surveillance state, and the changes that Clinton had inaugurated continued under Bush. The Democrats made a lot of noise, but they still worked with Bush virtually every step of the way, funding his wars, confirming his judges, renewed and expanded the Patriot Act, etc.

Things just kept getting worse, right up to the economic crisis of 2007. I really can't overstate how bad this was. If China hadn't stepped in and extended the US a line of credit, there was the very real danger of the entire global economy collapsing in on itself.

People had had enough. Obama was virtually carried into office on the people's shoulders after a historic turnout. Democrats weren't the "lesser evil." They were good guys, and for once, finally, the good guys had won! We'd won! No more world policing. No more terror. No more tyranny. Everything was going to change!

youtube

Everything came to a stop as a massive spontaneous party broke out. And why not? We were finally going to get publicly funded healthcare. The Patriot Act was going to be undone. We were going to end the Iraq War. Guantanamo would be closed and the use of torture ended for good. Immigrants would get a path to citizenship. The right to abortion would finally be a legal guarantee. Wall Street would be punished for putting hundreds of thousands of people out of work and costing And there was nothing the Republicans could do to stop it, with an unstoppable Democrat majority in the Senate and the House.

So imagine our surprise when none of that happened.

Instead of punishing Wall Street, they picked Obama's cabinet while millions of people lost their homes. In spite of not having to give one single shit about what the Republicans thought, Obama bent over backwards to appease them, but also to protect the private insurance industry. Abortion rights were neglected as not a priority in order to, once again, appease Republicans. The wars no only continued, but expanded. Wanton murder was employed around the globe by the relentless use of drones. Promise after promise was broken, and the Republicans made gains in congress.

Things would only continue to get worse. Libya was destroyed. ISIS was created by funneling weapons looted from Libya to rebels in Syria. Syria would be spared the same fate by giving up its chemical weapons to avoid Obama's "red line" threat.

Occupy Wall Street would emerge as a global phenomenon in response to the failure to provide the aid the working class was promised. Obama would oversee a coordinated national police crackdown, fully employing the police state that the Bush administration and their Democrat collaborators had built.

What I want you to understand is that Trump didn't come out of nowhere. 24 years of Republican and Democrat collaboration went into the groundwork for his election campaign.

And of course, it was the Democrats and Hillary Clinton's campaign that worked to elevate him to prominence. The Democrats further helped by running the most unpopular candidate in history against him and sabotaging the at the time most popular politician in the country (but it's okay, the courts say they had the right to do it anyway).

I don't know how well you remember the Trump years. They certainly weren't great, but for all the Liberal screaming about him, he wasn't all that different than every other president we had. He did some good things, and a lot of bad things. The only real difference was that all the awful things he did, Democrats and their supporting institutions pretended to give a shit about. Like Frankenstein, they went insane because of the monster they created. Instead of owning up to the fact that decades of misrule had made them unpopular, no one liked the candidate that they'd forced down everyone's throats, their arrogance alienated the electorate even further, and that 8 years of remorselessly broken promises and oppression at home and abroad had everyone completely fed up, they instead came up with an elaborate conspiracy theory about Russian subversion to explain why Hillary Clinton lost to a fucking reality TV gameshow host that they themselves had pit against her.

And now he's back! Again! And why? Because, once again, in spite of all their promises and bullshit, Biden was more of the fucking same—only somehow worse.

It's really astonishing how badly the Democrats managed to fuck things up. For all the bitching about Trump's covid response, it managed to accomplish a lot. The eviction moratorium and, ugh, "stimulus checks," kept millions of people from losing their homes. The expanded child tax credit lifted millions more out of poverty. Medicare expansions provided millions of people with healthcare and would keep them from getting kicked off it for the duration of the emergency. Student loan payments were stopped. For the first fucking time in American history people were able to get medical care at the point of service without having to deal with private insurance bullshit and at no cost to themselves! There was government mandated, paid sick leave! And we can't forget Operation Warp Speed, which provided the vaccines that Biden would eventually take credit for and cut all our throats with.

And Biden basically killed all of that. He declared Covid over and ended the state of emergency, which brought an end to all these programs. Millions lost healthcare and dropped back into poverty. Hundreds of thousands of people were killed because Biden lied about the vaccines protecting from infection, and thousands continue to die every week, even now.

The children Biden promised to free remained caged. Roe V Wade was struck down and absolutely nothing was done to prevent it in spite of knowing about it weeks in advance. Restrictions on abortion and laws punishing abortion seekers were passed and nothing was done. Laws persecuting trans people have proliferated and no one was punished. The Biden administration abandoned Afghanistan to the Taliban in order to recklessly start a war in Ukraine using a neo-Nazi run government. Now they're openly, knowingly, and willfully aiding and abetting a full scale genocide in Palestine, and threatening to rain more destruction on Yemen, another state in which it participated in genocide, another "bipartisan presidential effort, covering both the Obama and Trump administrations."

I've covered a lot here, but this isn't even exhaustive. There's more, so much more. The point though, at long last, is that the Democrats are not "the lesser evil." They are actively, eagerly complicit in every bit of evil that they blame on the Republicans. They blame, and complain, and bemoan, and then the Republicans get what they want anyway. The Democrats act upset about it, and promise to "fight for" access, or reforms, or whatever, and then it never happens. They make up some excuse like "the senate parliamentarian told us no." Or some bullshit about how the filibuster won't let them do what they really want to do. Or some dogshit about bipartisanship. Or some other fucking stupid crap, when really they have all the power they need. They just don't want to. They bitch and moan, but they actually love the Republicans and desperately need them around.

youtube

It goes back to abandoning the New Deal and waging class war against the working class. The Democrats represent certain sections of the petite and major bourgeoisie, and their interests are totally, fundamentally opposed to the working classes. They have nothing they can realistically offer us because doing so would improve our lot at the expense of their PMC servants and capitalist masters. Their power relies on our weakness.

The reason why the Republicans, who the Democrats decry as fascists, as threats to "our democracy," continue to be a thing at all is because their objectives and the Democrats are actually one and the same. The Democrats make a big show of opposition, talk loudly about their principles and "fighting for" what they think is right, and then they go ahead and give the evil fascist Trump an entirely new fucking military for his trouble.

The Democrats aren't, and have never been "the lesser evil." They're an essential component in perpetuating evil. They always have been, and always will be, and you shouldn't let anyone deceive you into thinking otherwise.

To my American followers or any American on Tumblr that are sick of Biden and are looking for other candidates to vote for in the primaries

A debate in New Hampshire took place yesterday between candidates Marianne Williamson and Dean Phillips its worth the watch please give it a listen and hear them out

Both Biden, the DNC and mainstream media are trying to blacklist them and deny them a fair shot in the primaries by not doing public debates, rigging the primary schedule in Biden's favour, smearing the other candidates and now to the point of cancelling primaries and only having Biden as the choice in some states like Florida and North Carolina denying voters a say in who they want to choose kinda hypocritical with Biden's "Democracy is at Risk" shtick so small debates like this one will really help get the word out that Americans have other options in the Democratic primary despite what the DNC is trying to force on voters with Biden

Anyways signal boost this, reblog and give it a watch the debate video is in 2 parts on Marianne's page and start around the 23 minute mark in the first video 😊😊

Just as you should be wary of people telling you not to vote, you should be wary of people telling you to vote third party

Look, the fact of the matter is third parties don't get very far in the us, and voting third party more often than not hurts one party and helps the other

And the party it usually helps is the republicans (this is literally what happened in 2016)

We cannot afford that right now, not when trump is the candidate (or any of the other republican candidatess, they're all terrible), not when republicans are aiming to end democracy, genocide queers, and permanently legally establish women and non whites as lower classes

Vote blue 2024, down the ballot

#wooloo-writes #wooloo writes #us politics #politics #us elections #us presidential election #us presidential race #biden 2024 #2024 us election #2024 us presidential election #vote biden #vote blue #vote democrat #pro biden #also a lot us 3rd parties tend to care more about being performative than about actually doing things
