    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.

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

    “Nothing will fundamentally change.”

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

    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.

      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.

        Ok, so I was going with the online buzz around Luigi described in this article. According to the article, the claim is debunked but it then goes on to describe how school shooters have received terrorism charges and ended up with life in prison, but gives no examples of school shooters being given the death penalty. So I’m half wrong, as far as I’m concerned. They did almost immediately start talking about the death penalty for Luigi. And they haven’t gone that far with school shooters.

          Several school shooters have been tried with the death penalty, no different than Mangione in that regard. In case you were unaware, Luigi hasn’t even been tried until his court date in February, after which a Jury will give their verdict and then a much later date Sentencing will be decided.

          It would be unusual for capital punishment to be carried out in Mangione’s case even if he gets that sentence, even among those who are given the death penalty usually end up waiting years or even decades and by then a politician might come out and commute it forcing them to live out their lives in prison, such as the Biden administration commuting 37 such sentences but choosing not to commute several such as the Boston Marathon Bomber.

            Thanks for the better context. So all the talk and buzz is online hype that I got caught up in, clearly. Editing my original comment.

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

        Without Biden, Trump and Co. had a pretty fucking decent shot at losing. Sorry, but between his breathtaking hubris for running again, and his inflexibility on Israel, I will never, ever forgive that man. He had one fucking job, and he fucking blew it. Same-sex marriage will be “state by state” by the end of the year, and I will be an old man before my LGBT and female friends and family have their rights restored - and that’s if they have their rights restored.

        That is a cost of decades upon the ones I love. I cannot and will not forgive that because he has a “D” next to his name when he did more than any single person to ensure that theocratic fascist cretinous scum with an “R” next to their names got locked into power.

            The point is that both are terrible and should be imprisoned for their crimes. By saying 'but Trump tho" you’re trying to take the discussw away from condemning Biden in this article about Biden.

      This warning would not have happened if Harris had won but the oligarchy would still exist. Bit too late to notice it now.

    Joe biden lost a winnable election due to his own vanity and lack of human decency. Fuck him. He governed better than any democrat since what Lindon Johnson? But its far too little too late to pay for a lifetime of fucking people over

    I no longer have any charity for these outgoing presidential remarks. What he is saying makes sense, but given that he didn’t bring this up or do anything about it when he had power, these sentiments are hollow pandering at best. Fuck you Joe Biden, your legacy is that you presided over the dissolution of American democracy and did genocide. No hollow words on your way out will change that.

    I see only hate for Joe, but you’ll miss him. You have 4 looong years ahead of you to think about that… Or more.
