I mentioned that I voted, and they naturally asked me who I voted for. I said, “De la Cruz. Third party.”
“Sorry, I didn’t quite catch that?”, one of them said, and the whole group looked at me a bit puzzled — so I reiterated, “De la Cruz, a third-party candidate.”
“…Wait, there’s a *THIRD* party?”
Any attempt to communicate that you may have had was utterly blown because you had to demonstrate your smug anticipation of watching scary tankies being mass murdered while you get to watch.
You’re a scratched liberal, and there’s very few meaningful distinctions between you and mask-off fascists, except that you’re more passive-aggressive.
I’m not happy about it. I am trying to warn you that as many pig ballsacks as you post, you won’t be happy if Trump gets in and starts gunning for you for real, even if Kamala was also an American president and brought some killing to the table as they tend to do. It can still get worse, and I wish you wouldn’t help make it worse while smugly congratulating yourself on not being willing to engage with anyone who doesn’t want it to be worse.
I like how you all assume I don’t have queer or vulnerable people in my circle. I do. I might be vulnerable, too. You definitely might. The idea of laughing at someone who’s trying to protect themselves and the people around them, because they don’t have the same pig ballsacks queued up to send to anyone who tries to talk sense into them, is distasteful to me, also.
You might have a point that I shouldn’t come right away with smug hostility. But, honestly, I don’t know how else I could approach a conversation with this grouping.
Have fun with your chosen outcome. I hope it brings you good things. Good luck.
We know. Democrats create the conditions that make it nearly inevitable that someone even worse will come to power.
I’m queer and disabled. Do not assume you speak for all of us.
I didn’t post a single PPB and you’re still crying at me.
No shit. The difference is that you believe that an effective continuation of Biden’s regime that didn’t even abolish most of Trump’s prior policies and even expanded many of them would induce happiness. Maybe for you it would, if your lanyard’s on tight enough and you’ve been huffing sufficient fumes from the wine cave.
I don’t mean wine fumes.
Nope, not hiding that rage well. Stop doing that.
Do you really believe this is true? I can probably hit a list of 20 that he reversed or removed, if you want to switch away from pure bait and into something factual.
Tell me, what Trump policies did he expand? What are some of the many?
Biden didn’t close Trump’s camps (and Obama started most of them!), he just renamed them.
Biden let most of Trump’s executive orders stand and didn’t reverse them.
Fucking DeJoy is still running the Post Office, and that’s after his attempts to ratfuck the previous election!
Biden handed out more oil drilling permits than Trump did!
Biden dished out more money for foreign proxy wars than Trump did. The mass murder campaign still going on in Palestine is under his watch, approved and financed accordingly!
Do you have any fucking ground to stand upon at all or are you just going to post more passive-aggressive shit?
THEN FUCKING DO IT.
This one’s a whole can of worms that would require some level of good faith and listening for me to explain fully. Short answer, Biden tried to change the US’s immigration policy several times and it didn’t work. It’s fundamentally a terrible system, and he did some amount to change that and didn’t hit the gas on its most terrible features like Trump did, but it’s still terrible today, and we can say that it’s okay to hold him responsible for that since at the end of the day, the buck stops with him. I have more I could say on it that you would interpret as liberal bullshit, but you’re not a million miles off base.
Biden reversed 31% of them.

I don’t know what your metric for, “just about all” is. I think you’ll have to get more specific than just the raw number. I have no real idea which ones are most significant or whether specific ones in those significant areas were left or undone.
To me, Biden did great on the climate, horrendous on enabling genocide in Gaza, and great on undoing the great fuckening of the working class that’s been a project since 1980. With both of those “greats” calibrated within the limits of what he could do within our pretty dystopian governmental system. Those are the biggest things I care about. If you want to talk specific actions, bring up the actions instead of just generalities about how many orders.
There’s a popular way of talking about Biden’s impact on the climate that’s crafted by the right wing to depress support for the Democrats among the left, so that they can get people in who really want to destroy the climate, by making it sound like there’s no difference between the parties.
The IRA is the biggest climate action an American president has ever done, ten times over. It’s predicted by experts to roughly double the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions every year:

That’s not enough. It’s laughable. But how he got a bunch of American politicians including Joe Manchin to agree to that much, I have no idea.
It needs to be doubled again, this year or ideally 15 years ago, to make a difference. If someone comes out saying that we need to redouble the thing 5 times over to make a significant difference, and laugh in the face of this 4% shit, that sounds great to me. I would support that. If someone cherry-picks particular ways of looking at it, counting permits being one of those ways, that don’t really reflect what it did for emissions, and then argues that it’s not worth voting because Trump would be basically the same, I’m going to be suspicious of their motives.
I don’t know why I spent this much time laying out facts about how I look at it. I may not continue. But you said factual things, so I’m willing to have at least a short factual conversation about what happened.
Lol. I am king passive-aggressive. I don’t need anyone’s help at being liberal or smug. But someone from Hexbear complaining that they’re talking to someone who’s not being nice to them in their tone and presentation is fucking hilarious.
I’ll talk facts for at least a short time, if you want to, but let’s not get ourselves confused about who took a shit in this particular paddling-pool and made it all unpleasant to have a conversation in.
In other words, you will believe everything and anything about the camps except the material reality that the camps are not fucking closed.
That’s fucking pathetic. That’s a win to you?
AGAIN, you will believe everything and anything except the material reality that Biden handed out more drilling permits than Trump did.
Trying to own it doesn’t make it less obnoxious, you liberal clown.
Once again,
So far your facts have been desperately coated in
about why Biden was so ineffectual and by your own admission that at least 69% of those executive orders from Trump stand.
If you want to keep showing your whole ass, continue. Just lay off on the passive-aggression and the
coating of each and every Biden failure (or deliberate victory for the ruling class, as intended).
If you’re going to complain about your liberal bloviating not being received well while wishing death and suffering on everyone else here, then after that smugly and masturbatorially claiming you’re here to “talk facts for at least a short time” at least pick a lane before you’re banned.
That image didn’t show up and it was surely liberal cringe shit anyway so I don’t want to see it.
