Former president says investigation of decision-making in office is designed to take focus off ‘disastrous legislation’

Biden added: “Let me be clear: I made the decisions during my presidency. I made the decisions about the pardons, executive orders, legislation and proclamations. Any suggestion that I didn’t is ridiculous and false.”

God damn, so politically stupid to not realize that these political attacks works since he’s still defending himself from these same political attacks.

    There isn’t enough time in the world to go through and correct the factual inaccuracies in what you just wrote, let alone the strategic mistakes you are advocating for.

    I’m advocating for the eligible voters who don’t vote in one or both of the primaries or the general to vote. I’m telling them to stop waiting for “the Democrats” to altruistically change track and cater to them, because “the Democrats” aren’t going to do that.

    What it comes down to: You want voters to be different than they are.

    They aren’t. They are how they are. Meet them where they are at or lose.

    If the left wing base comes out to vote. I’m arguing that they have not been coming out to vote (in the primaries, to ensure the nomination of left wing candidates), and therefore the Democrats do not target them to win the votes they don’t cast.

    Who the fuck is it that you think does the actual boots-on-the ground volunteering on these campaigns? Fucking Jake Tapper viewers? You have no fucking clue how elections work and who the actual volunteers are, and it shows.

    You’ve drank a giant bottle of getting mixed the fuck up kool-aid when it comes to cause and effect, and your entire approach to electoralism, one we’ve shown as a failure, depends on basically “wishing” voters to be different than they are. They arent.

    I don’t believe they will.

    Bro, no one, not one single soul, should care what you believe. You don’t have a strategy and you are advocating to lose another cycle to fascism.

      You want voters to be different than they are.

      I want non-voters to vote. They aren’t voters if they don’t vote. I’m not addressing my comments to people who are already voting. I do don’t know why you find this to be such a controversial take, but you do you.

      Edit to fix typo.

        Its not a controversial take. Its an incredibly common, vapid, worthless, and idiotic take, and it needs to be shut down at every turn. Because your take, this exact take you are outlining: it dominated the Democratic narrative and strategy in 2024.

        And most importantly: it 👉 loses👈 👉fucking 👈 👉elections 👈 .

        It needs to be resisted at every fucking turn because this weevil brained take is quite literally what Democrats banked on and it handed all branches of government to fascists.

        Any one for whom this is as far as their thinking is capable of taking them; they need to be ignored. Permanently.

        We couldn’t afford to suffer this kind of idiocy in 2024 and yet we were forced to. It need to be killed in the crib.
