Like hanging out with a shitty, spoiled, only-child, but as an adult.
It's like watching a spoiled kids gunko pop collection. They are cheap and ugly but he's still proud and wants praise even tho he didn't do anything for it.
Someone probably showed him a collection of trophies or something and he was like: i want that, but without the trophies.
Kid, I literally could not care less about your Pokémon card collection.
Everything is new-in-the-box, not to be played with. DON'T TOUCH THAT!
All the theoretically coolest stuff (well, not in this case), but in the most joyless, unfun context possible.
Not to diminish what the soldiers at the front have to go through, but having to play nice with such a shit person as Trump, only for your country to still get less support than under sleepy Joe, must be painful beyond belief. I wouldn't even last a day having to kiss Trumps feet.
Can we not use MAGAt language? Call him other names, except anything that legitimizes their rhetoric.
Probably a BoTh SiDeS person. Lotta those on Lemmy
I am not. But Biden was a walking corpse for half of his term. We were robbed of Bernie, I am not going show any respect to a man and a system that did everything in their power to block Bernie.
Using the term "sleepy Joe" doesn't look good on anyone. No, he was not a "corpse".
If Biden was awake Trump would have been prosecuted for Jan 6 (or any of his countless other crimes) and we wouldn't be dealing with his shit today. Biden fucked us all. He deserves every bit of disrespect coming his way.
This has nothing to do with what Biden deserves. It has to do with not wanting to hear maga rhetoric normalized
There are much bigger problems to worry about than using the same terms as maga people do to insult Biden.
It does speak to your motives that you'd say that
What motives would those be exactly?
Nah, dude was like 78 years old and mentally gone. That rhetoric is legitimate. The last thing we should be doing is pretending that he was an acceptable candidate and the Democrats did nothing wrong.
And by the way, Trump is 79 years old and also mentally gone, as you can see in the OP photo.
The enemy of your enemy is not your friend. Come up with something clever, I don't care what you call him. Don't legitimize MAGA. That's it.
No. Fuck Sleepy Joe, just slightly less than Trump.
"Fuck Joe" is fine, though? I didn't say don't criticize the dude. Lol
Is it okay if I call him Senile Joe? What about Slow Joe? Shaky Joe?
Sure. I'm only saying don't legitimize MAGA's rhetoric. I don't know why people think I'm saying anything more than that.
Yeah but trying to police what terms they use to criticize him in a way this specific is weird man.
Bruh, policing? I'm not enforcing anything, I'm asking.
Can you do two things for me:
Much appreciated.
And what you're doing is getting blocked. Go back to reddit with your confrontational bs, 3 day old account.
Sleepy Joe is a big part of the reason we're in this mess to begin with. I say fuck him, he had his chance to earn a better nickname.
Oh,, fuck that shit, no, the reason we're in this mess to begin with is because rich douchebags won't get their fucking dicks out of politics because woe is them someone might actually take their ill-begotten gains to benefit everyone, so they propped up a fucking fascist and then bought all the media to make idiots like you blame Biden for it.
So we agree, rich douchebags took over our democracy while Sleepy Joe sat back and did NOTHING to stop it. Jan 6th? Trump sees no consequences. Numerous other indictments for Trump? No need to rush. Musk buying votes in PA? Seems fine.
All the while Joe sits around insisting he's strapped in and ready for another term. He got elected on the premise that he would be a 1 term president then decided he was comfy, in spite of incredibly clear polling numbers showing that his policy was remarkably unpopular. Then Kamala picked up the mantle and when she asked what she would do differently? No notes.
Policy-wise Joe was better than most but politically he gave away the country to the fascists.
No, we don't agree. You're a MAGA trying to blame Joe Biden for the evils of other people, or even the inactions of other people. Biden isn't a prosecutor, nor is he a judge.
Nice name by the way, rather gives you away.
Lmao I'm a MAGA? You're a clown. 🤡
then stop using MAGA talking points
Stop rejecting the facts simply because they are unpleasant.
I am righteous in my displeasure with Sleepy Joe and the larger Democratic establishment that enabled MAGA to thrive. Are you so blinded by your hatred for MAGA that you're unable to objectively evaluate the results from the election?
Look, I would have voted for 4 more years of Joe in a heartbeat, I voted for Kamala; but a majority of Americans voted for our current path. I do not think this is the best path for our country, but I also won't pretend this happened in a vacuum. The Democrats steadfastly refuse to consider their own failings, and that includes lining up behind Joe Biden when his administration was polling in the gutter.
Fascism isn't looking great but Americans clearly aren't willing to vote for democracy on its own merits when the democratic leaders don't have a policy that resonates with voters.
Tl;dr it's not because I'm fascist that I call Joe sleepy, it's because I demand better from our leadership. If that gets under your skin then you're part of the problem.
demand better by sticking to actual policy
using republican talking points is just silly
worrying about biden in the face of project nazi 2016-2025 is just wtf
Project Nazi 2016-2025? Bruh, who controlled the government 2020-2024? Clearest troll yet. Unreal.
you think that shit stopped behind the scenes?
don’t be fucking daft, project 2025 has been building for years well before from groups like the Heritage foundation stacking courts, 2016 was just the tipping point
lmao at how fucking blind and stupid people can be
and then to parade around your stupidity
The racists and bigots (Heritage foundation and plenty of others) have been working on this shit literally since Reconstruction and we've been able to rebuff their insane ideas for over a hundred years. Then, after 4 years of insanity under Trump, culminating in a global pandemic, Jan 6, and election denialism, we get Joe Biden.
What steps do you think would be appropriate to take as the most powerful leader in the country in 2021 to help the country heal and avert future calamities like these? From the top of my head I can spout off a long list but accountability for Trump and those who enabled him are at the top of the list.
Why didn't Joe take decisive action to fix our broken political system? Why did he allow Merrick Garland to slow roll the "investigations" for 4+ years and ultimately do nothing? How could he and Kamala run on a campaign of, "save the country from the fascists" and yet do nothing to save the country themselves? The Supreme Court ruled, during Joe's term, that the President has absolute immunity for any actions taken as president. How could Joe's administration get this kind of power while facing down a planned fascist takeover and DO NOTHING?
You're coming at me like I'm "blind and stupid" while suggesting that Joe was the second coming of Christ in America, and I'm here to tell you that he simply did not perform his constitutional role to do everything in his power to maintain the Union. I like the guy, but he fucked up.
hey you managed to use valid points without a republican cock in your mouth then threw it away ending on a strawman
obviously this wasn’t too hard for you so just do better
You might be a daft fucking idiot but at this point as long as you get out and vote for someone who isn't a fascist, I could be convinced to share enough drinks that we forget our differences.
i don’t even think we’ll get the chance
We'll have to fight like hell or we won't have a country anymore
