Elections have consequences. Americans knew what they voted for. They fucked around and they are going to find out.
Well, the rest of the world will find out also
Europeans seem like they constantly need reminding of this. You people are also fucked for a myriad of reasons
yeah, I don't understand why people think that it will not change anything here, first with the war next door, and we're living on the same earth so the climate will be impacted everywhere not just locally in the US
[edit] also: what do you mean, YOU people?!
Biden/Harris knew they'd lose the left if they continued to ship weapons and they shipped them anyway. So here we are.
Nobody is spending millions on an election campaign when they knew they were going to lose my dude.
Not unless it's other peoples' money. Good thing US election campaigns are self financed /s
They raised over a billion dollars after Harris got the nomination.
They spent a quarter of that on sending door knockers to the same people's houses 2-3 times.
And they donate money to Republican outsider campaigns to try to siphon votes off the Republican incumbent (who they usually still lose to anyway).
They would absolutely spend millions of dollars thinking they were going to lose. It's not their money, and their lives will not change whether it's spent or not.
costing us the election and then rolling out the red, black and white carpet
This is everything wrong with the Democratic Party in a nutshell.
The correct move: Use the "Anything the President does is an official act" powers to stop a madman who under the 14th Amendment isn't even eligible to be President.
What Democrats do: Kiss his ass as hard as they can even though it's blatantly obvious via the January 6th riots that this would not be happening were the roles reverse.
The Dems are as spineless as the Reps are heartless.
The time to do that would have been before the election, not afterwards
Biden is the new von Hindenburg now? Doesn't Biden have still unlimited political power thanks to Supreme Court?
Remember the letter trump left when biden won?
The one that has never been made public.
Biden's only comment in it was that it was 'generous'
I've wondered if that letter told biden he would be spared if he cooperated
Maybe he thought resistance would mean death or torture for him and his loved ones. He's already seen one son die, I doubt he'd want to see another one laid to rest.
Big Paul von Hindenburg energy.
The former German President who instated Hitler as chancellor, and officially signed his "Reichstag Fire Decree" and "Enabling Act" into law, which abolished democracy.
All in the name of an orderly transition during difficult times.
Hindenburg died in August 1934, after which Hitler became President, as well.
I would have left a thumbtack on every chair, and a bucket of whitewash balanced over every door.
a quisling sucking up to a Vichy government
Not sure what else would be expected here. The public spoke what it wants. So he’s like ok folks, this is what you asked for so have at it.
The public are dumb.
Much as we hate to admit it, Trump appears to have democratic legitimacy (for some definition of democracy). Unless you expect Biden to suddenly admit "The whole election apparatus is bullshit and undemocratic", he has to accept the results and act according to his Democrat principles:
Bend over and spread wide.
shakes his hand and smiles real big and fully endorses him thank you mister mcdonalds for your honorable service to this country
