You see, he isn't approving the sale of arms to a genocidal state, he is merely making a legal sale of arms to a genocidal state. This is better somehow.

As shown in @IbrahimAS97's viral May 2019 video, Biden did say he had "no empathy" for the plight of younger people. However, the 16-second clip did not show the former vice president making a specific, emphatic comparison between the relative calm of the present moment and the social and political tumult of his own youth in the late 1960s. He was not saying, in absolute or general terms, that he had no empathy for younger people. In omitting this important context, IbrahimAS97's video gives an incomplete and somewhat misleading presentation of what Biden actually said.

The tumult of the 60s were ultimately a failure because it did not a pave a path forward that would prevent people like Joe Biden from ascending to the position of presidency.

joepinetree posted:just to highlight how stancil is utterly stupid and these dnc "data" guys actually don't know data Everyone was ready to talk about stagflation but almost no one was ready for BIdenflation. Stancil thinks it is due to some kind of economic policy prowess possessed by the Biden administration. Because we have managed to avoid recession and stagflation he thinks everyone should be eternally grateful and vote for Biden. The real elephant in the room is that Stancil doesn't even really care about data at all. He thinks economic sentiment is 100% partisan and you can not win voters with kitchen table reforms like the child tax credit. He thinks politics is 100% narrative and the reason why economic sentiment has broken the partisan order is because they are hypnotized by tiktok or the new york times or blue haired brooklyn podcaster baristas. He is a bullshit artist and permanently out to lunch.

Really feel for the people who grew up during the 1960s. It must have been difficult to live through a time where the people in power wage an unpopular war and ignore society collapsing at home.

My radical position has been that America has the capability, though perhaps not the will, to provide cheap burgers to its citizens without imperialism or the oppression of anyone except the cows (which is actually bad tbh). Most disagree with me on this  It's funny the Stancil position is actually! even with imperialism no one should get cheap burgers. You must be at least this virtuous to eat a lovely burger

I think Trump winning consecutive terms might have caused some introspection and turnover. As it stands 2016 was dismissed as a fluke because of russia, misogynists, bernie bros and white supremacists. The Obamas blamed it on white people. Hillary blamed it on Sexists and Russians. With Biden winning in 2020 the Dem establishment sees that as a validation they were right all along about 2016. Trump was just a one term fluke. They deserved the win in 2016 and 2020 was their reward. There is zero introspection about all the poo poo they pulled in their own primary or the legal poo poo they are doing now. They Won. The Voters Proved Them Right. Complete hubris reset. So now we are at the point where a 2024 loss is already being blamed on an ignorant population too stupid to see how amazing Democrats are. A second Trump term will come with the same unhinged psychotic behavior, even more lawfare and zero introspection. 2028 will see a Buttigeg type elected to continue on Obama 4/5 after Joe only gets Obama 3.

three years on, I can say that the 2020 biden win has still provided incredibly high quality comedy way more harm than a trump win though since the dems stopped pretending they were against a few bad things and started saying that in fact they were always in favor of all the bad things but it's still been a great ride comedy-wise whoever wins in 2024, be it biden, kamala after the election for the funniest of reasons, or trump the US loses and i think i'm enjoying my total acceptance of this

There is a difference between the introspection of a normal loss and a tsunami wave loss. The 80s were chaos for the dems which is why you end up with 'third way' pedo bill. With mail in ballots and partisan media to keep up the pressure I'm not sure if 400+ wins are likely anymore much less 500+ wins, but if it did happen I think it'd make for much greater chaos. A funny option is absolute maximized difference between popular and electoral results just to underscore how everything about how our system is dumb like 400+ EVs but lose the popular lol

Complications posted:way more harm than a trump win though since the dems stopped pretending they were against a few bad things and started saying that in fact they were always in favor of all the bad things the logic of "harm reduction" voting if you follow it to its conclusion is to keep the democratic party out of power since once they win an election even the notional opposition to terrible things entirely drops away. since the ngo, nonprofit, and "left" set their support or opposition depending on the party in power, and not connected to policy, the only way to keep these groups united behind any push for improvements is to keep them as far away from the levers of power as possible. "kids in cages" is an excellent example of this in practice bedpan has issued a correction as of 04:08 on Dec 31, 2023 |

At this point, I think the Dems have always been waiting for a moment to get back on Big Business side ever since the New Deal went down, and then the faltering of the USSR in the 70s allowed that to be possible which happened to coincide with some very poor Dem campaigning. Perhaps too cynical a perspective, but at this point, I've learned you might as well be as cynical about American history and you'll likely be right.
