Bluesky

I love that so many on the American left are still enthusiasticly defending the candidacy of an elderly man in rapid mental decline, who at the end of his (then) current term was set to be the oldest ever president, older than the four (4) (!!!) people that most recently held the office before him, out of which three served two consecutive terms, their combined terms totalling 28 years. At the time of the 2024 election, there were five living ex presidents in the US.

Nobody should have to explain how batshit fucking insane that is.

The hole the US is in wasn't dug by people who weren't motivated to vote for Biden or his unpopular ad hoc replacement. By the 2024 election it was plenty deep already, more than a decade in the making. Ceding ground in the vote might have been foolish, but would ultimately not have changed the trajectory. The sooner you realize things were already broken, maybe you can get to work fixing it.
