I have my grievances with the Democratic party, but I can also walk and chew gum at the same time. I can be pissed off with how THEY have conducted themselves and also be appalled by the current march towards authorism and fascism this current administration his taking us into. NO WHERE did I say that I didn't prefer Biden - as feeble and as mentally incapacitated as he was - over Trump. And, yes, ABSOLUTELY they put us on the right track after 4 painful years of Trump and a worldwide pandemic. It was impressive to see what they were able to get done with the slimmest of majorities in Congress and we're better off because he was able to defeat Trump and bring a semblance of normalcy back to politics and society. But, guys, come on. An entirely winnable election was completely botched because Dems were flat out LYING about his mental and physical state when they should've been speaking up publicly and privately about Biden serving another term. I am not about to blame 'the people' when the ONLY viable option to the insanity that is the republican party are the dems who should've been ringing a fucking five alarm fire when they saw the writing on the wall with Trump crushing Biden in a general election. But they didn't. They kept saying 'oh it's fine, we're fine, he's fine'. Then you had Biden saying in the most arrogant way he could that he was THE ONLY person that could beat Trump when in all actuality, almost anyone else BUT Biden - or Kamala - probably could've taken him down. Kamala crashed and burned in 2020 before the votes were cast and Joe himself didn't even want her as VP - plenty of reports show that his heart was with Gretchen Whitmer, who would've been a far better choice. So, yes, because of the CHOICES Democrats made over the last decade or so is PART of the reason we're in the mess. The party needs new ideas, new leadership, a different way to communicate because whatever it is they're doing is obviously not working when it comes to fighting these people.

Despite the Biden’s tragic cancer diagnosis, the revelations coming out about his mental and physical state during the last couple years of his presidency are pretty damning. The frustrating part is gaslighting done by his own party that he could do backflips and was sharp as can be when anyone with eyes and ears could see a change in the man. The fact that the Democratic Party stuck with him is pretty unconscionable given the fact they were screaming about how much of a threat Trump was - which he was. Couple their behavior with Biden and how they sidelined Bernie in 2016 & 2020, I just don’t see how they come back from this.

https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/05/18/politics/joe-biden-prostate-cancer Biden has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that’s spread to his bones. So sad. As angry as I am at him for botching last years election, this is really tragic.

Again, those of us who have seen through his bullshit for the last 10 years - and even before that - have known he's a fake business man and celebrity who's bankrupted dozens of ventures, screwed over contractors, and is a total fraud. He has no idea what he's doing and is clinging to this tariff bullshit out of stubbornness and nothing more. There is no plan. There's no end game. The ONLY thing he's ever been good at is creating chaos with anything he does. It's the low the income voters who bought into his garbage during the campaign that will suffer the most and as I've stated, my sympathy well has been tapped dry. So let them pay even more for their goods and services. I really don't give a fuck anymore. Maybe this is what it'll take to for them to finally open their eyes to all of this MAGA nonsense. Maybe some financial pain caused by their fearless leader will make them see he's never been on their side and used them for votes and nothing more.
