      I wanna play a videogame like Democracy 3 except your popularity is not correlated with what your policies actually are and only what you say your policies are going to be.

        It’s practical IMO if you make it a decaying function of your alleged policies. Like in your second term people are reluctant to more accept your claims than earlier and so forth.

      People were sceptical in the comments even if they were soft in their criticism. The travesty of a meme was probably posted by a DNC intern and upvoted by a bot farm.

    The White House is likelier to go down in flames than it is to adequately tax the very upper classes that it serves to protect. I won’t hold my breath.

      The only people who would believe him are the people who benefited from the Indian Residential fake school Holocaust that became the Nazi Holocaust in some way, the European immigrants who gained free land and government welfare from the thievery of Indigenous people, and the people who benefited from debt trapping and free riding that Bretton Woods Institutions supported. Those types of people will be the racist backward group within the European diaspora communities who benefited so much from free stuff from their free riding governments that they will stay loyal like obedient dogs.

    Even if he does this and turns the US into a utopia, which he won’t, he deserves to rot in hell for facilitating a genocide. The people who support this are caricatures of sakai’s book but at least the people in those books got something out of betraying the global working class.

      Facilitating the current genocide is sadly a small part of his CV. The damage he has done goes back to even before the time when he opposed bussing on segregationist grounds. I am sure you can find his fingerprints on every American atrocity since then. Though the Israeli crimes taking place under his watch as the president does make his role more pronounced.

        Yep, this is what I have been thinking as well. It’s not that netanyahu is putting Biden in a tough place or manipulating him or some other bullshit people come up with to promote the idea of american innocence. Perhaps enjoying might be too strong a term, but Biden feels like he is putting the “darkies” in their place. In his head there is a racially hierarchy, and a lot of liberals agree that the Palestinians upended that in October. This is therefore “punishment”. Also he fought to get the Iraq war. He loves imprisoning and murdering brown and black people.
