Biden was an og Congressional neoliberal. A prominent one. He helped Reagan convert Republican's former opposition party into the corpo bribe taking, social inclusion!... Economic die in the streets... party it is today, locking arms with Republicans to defend our murderous economy from us as they stoke social division between us so we don't look up at our sociopath owners.

Voted for him out of harm reduction compared to Trump, a vote for quiet not peace, but fuck Joe Biden.

I agree fuck him he wasn’t bad but boy did he lack a spine

Should retire, right now, so Kamila is president for a few days. Just so technically she's a president. Just to annoy trump

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 15 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Just to make all those Trump 47 bumper stickers look silly.

I'm not a fan of any of them but this would be hilarious.

This just in: Oligarch warns about other oligarchs

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 42 points 8 hours ago

Yeah, thanks dude, for not actually doing anything about it. Enjoy your millions in retirement.

He could use his Supreme Court given powers and do something with that?

Oligarch warns of oligarchy

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 3 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

No

Biden has his faults, sure, but Trump & co are on such another level that it's literally not funny anymore

Thank God Joe promised to address this issue before taking office:

"Nothing will fundamentally change."

Ah. Die of gonorrhea and burn in hell, then.

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 14 points 10 hours ago

He probably should have led with this speech.

[–] Zero22xx@lemmy.world 38 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (5 children)

Damn. Looks like you guys are headed for a system that treats rich people and poor people differently. Where you can get away with countless felony charges just for being of a particular status in society. ~~Where they'll push for the death penalty for someone that shoots a CEO but sleep when schools get shot up~~ (see below). I feel bad for you guys that all of this is only going to start happening to you on January 20, 2025.

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 15 points 10 hours ago

I mean we've always really been that place but at least the 1% had the decency to pretend they were for fair and equal treatment and justice for all.

President Biden warns of 'oligarchy' as he bids farewell to five decades in ~~politics~~ service to the oligarch-beholden establishment

Fixed it for them.
