You mean the wall that had multiple useless sections built with American taxpayers money and he absolutely would have continued with if not for the inherent logistics issues of physical reality and lack of competent enablers that aren't blockers this time around?

Also, the 2016 administrator WAS catastrophic. The hyper consolidation of corporate actors, deregulation and defanging of admin agencies that effectively removed all culpability from corporate actors, and bureaucratic damage that has made recovery a steeple uphill battle all happened not just under his watching but as an explicit intent of his watch.

That the overwhelming majority of voters are not just uninformed, uncritical, and apathetic, but actually might be morons? I don't know.

Biden and Harris both have been fairly active in supporting labor and trying to tackle corporate Greed. Harris regularly talked about anti-gouging laws as well as the other items mentioned already. Biden was the most pro-union president we've seen in decades, had a strong NLRB, and was responsible for appointing the most active and effective FTC head we've seen in ages.

There are many many issues with the democratic party, but holy shit, being less supportive of the working class than fucking Republicans is absolutely not one of them.

Ah, gotcha, yea the coverage of this has been awful. I know if I talk to my cousins about this, they'll freak out about antisemitic violence in Europe rather than understand that this is pretty justified not even antizionist but anti-generalal-shithead violence.

No. It is that Trump won with the support of over 70 million Americans. People are responsible for their choices. jfc

Everyone saying Trumps totals didn't change, yes, but their composition absolutely did change. But even that is besides the point. Even if they staged exactly the same, that's still really fucking problematic and its absurd to give these people cover for being shitasses.

Host Thanksgiving and only invite your mom.

I'm sure a lot has to do with your home server, but I don't think I've seen a single post about this where the top comment hasn't immediately clarified that this was most likely a reciprocal attack after these idiots were running havoc through Amsterdam. I've even seen mentions of them beating up an Arab cab driver (though haven't seen anything to confirm, tbh).

Couple it with privatizing the national weather service so there will effectively be no warnings, and most of FL is gonna be dead anyhow.

??? It is literally impossible for any voter to not know the devil they chose. No, over 70 million voters actively chose to elect perhaps the most incompetent and transparently stupid president in history back into office, but with a well known and well documented playbook this time around on how literally entry metric of American life, from domestic policy to foreign policy, will be made worse to the sole benefit of big corporate actors and 1%ers. A whole bunch of others were too apathetic to be concerned by this.

Voters ultimately made their choice. A lot of folks are going to die as a result, but unfortunately it won't be limited to just the idiots that actually chose this.

No, Trump won it. He got votes and those votes were from people who cast them. Yes, democratic party has problems, but the far bigger problem is that enough people voted for Trump when given other options.
