    Biden and his admin did some good things, for sure, but by and large he simply continued entrenching the status quo and didn’t meaningfully listen to the American populace - unless it was through the filter of the DNC/DCCC’s fuckwitted consultant class, who have been a cripplingly parasitic negative influence on the party for basically the entire span of time I’ve been politically aware.

    Remember:

    nothing will fundamentally change.

    I believed him when he said it, and he sure as fuck followed through.

    Not to mention, his whole full-throated, carte blanche support of Israel in their genocide of Gaza (and I do mean to include the decades-long lead up to Oct 7, as well as the IDF’s retaliatory / punitive / expansionist / ethnic-cleansing actions after that point). Schumer’s one of the few politicians off the top of my head who’s more of an Israeli sycophant than Biden.

      I disagree with parts of the analysis, but this:

      the DNC/DCCC’s fuckwitted consultant class, who have been a cripplingly parasitic negative influence on the party for basically the entire span of time I’ve been politically aware.

      I am 100% on board for. Their consultants suck and need to be set adrift as soon as possible. Hopefully republicans will pick them up and start losing constantly.

      his whole full-throated, carte blanche support

      Let’s try not to rewrite history here.

      He publicly voiced disapproval. He threatened arms shipment cancellations. He worked to negotiate a peace deal.

      While those things ultimately didn’t work, they don’t fall under the “full throated carte blanche” category.

        He publicly voiced disapproval.

        He lied, yes.

        He threatened arms shipment cancellations.

        And didn’t follow through.

        He worked to negotiate a peace deal.
