Here’s the thing, I respect our POTUS and his life-long political service to this country. But he and every other Dem, media anchor/outlet and voter who “sane washed” and normalized that 🍊🤡 are at least partially responsible for what comes Monday and the next four years.

nwsoftwareguy.bsky.social•117 days ago

I feel like Democrats are telling you things as a 'revelation' most of us realized ten years or more back. This was starting under Reagan, got worse under Bush, was horrid with Super PACs under Citizens United. Now businesses are just OPENLY embracing fascism.

As usual, Biden is more than a day late and a dollar short.

* Bernie Sanders has been warning us about America becoming an oligarchy for years and years. And the corporate Dems worked together to torpedo his campaign for presidency.🤷

rosegardenerwi.bsky.social•118 days ago

* Jimmy Carter warned us about American oligarchy after the Citizens United ruling. Dems ignored him. They just kept marching down the self-destructive road their big$ advisors laid out for them.

Now here we are - President Musk is about to be installed as America's first full-fledged oligarch.🤷

pegofnevada.bsky.social•118 days ago

Within a minute of Musk being lauded as the leader on government efficiency, Bernie said that he was looking forward to working with him. So much for battling the oligarchy.

aergis.bsky.social•118 days ago

Crazy how people are blaming those who didn't vote or third parties, when Biden (or let's be honest, Dems in general) have done nothing to solve this problem except fear monger it. Maybe the sad old man should've done something during his presidency

You seem to waste your words disparaging Pres. Biden's acomplishments.

This is Joe's version of Eisenhower's warning of the military industrial complex.

The US didn't heed the warning then.

America must heed the warning now.

These guys are gonna be the ones to have JD Vance invoke the 25th Amendment on Donnie Dementia or in '26 when it becomes clear that the Democrats are gonna sweep both chambers Bezzos and the rest are gonna be the first guys to head for the hills ahead of any congressional investigations.

Even our side gets sucked in

Ppl need to stop obsessing over every ignorant/racist/misogynist distraction &look at the bigger plan

They're hyperfocused on moving FAST on Project 2025 & no one is ready for it

nichrome77.bsky.social•118 days ago

Agree. As AOC and Bernie have said plainly, we are in an oligarchy.

We need to convince the folks who voted fascist or stayed home that the billionaires want to kill them, because that is the truth. #FightTheFascists #EatTheRich

He’s the one who had the power to check it and he failed

therealjdog17.bsky.social•117 days ago

He did the ‘lead by example’ thing for an oblivious nation. The MSM made sure of that. Few share his values or even understand them…which is why he should’ve skipped the formalities and tossed them all in fucking Gitmo.

frankjones25.bsky.social•118 days ago

Democrats making fringe social issues their staple will only continue to lose elections . Post election demographics show that they are losing the working family and young vote. Abandoning populist issues is not the route to go. Unfortunately, it appears they are not changing anytime soon.

slippytoad14.bsky.social•118 days ago

What fringe social issues?

frankjones25.bsky.social•118 days ago

Things that fall out of the scope of jobs, economy, education, healthcare, energy. Things that concern working families and they discuss around the dinner table.

slippytoad14.bsky.social•118 days ago

Such as?

The courts are packed and the highest court is stacked.
Republicans hold majority in both the House and Senate, and they are not willing to stand up for the people they are supposed to represent.

That has already been true for years, now the oligarchy is turning into dictatorship.

laart20.bsky.social•117 days ago

And Biden was asleep at the wheel. I love him. But that’s the truth

shirlsurely.bsky.social•118 days ago

The result: The WH will be void of intelligence, common sense, knowledge, experience, accountability, love grace, empathy, compassion kindness humour, class, decorum, honor, dignity, decency, civility for the next 4 years. We'll miss that. What a colossal mistake USA has made. Tragic & frightening.

woodenstares.bsky.social•117 days ago

We knew we were already there.

Biden admitting that we are almost there just confirms we are in it up to our eyeballs.

So when do we start up this opposition?

I’m ready! 🔥💪💙

Biden knowns what we see and know. What I would like to know is who is running Trump presidency, it's not Trump, he's playing golf. Who?

toucan-bran.bsky.social•118 days ago

We have to “make them” pay their fair share. Because they don’t believe in fairness of any kind.

thereallsc.bsky.social•118 days ago

54% of the voters agreed with it. Wonder what they think know. Will they admit to their complicity as all this unfolds? When storms/weather destroys all their property and there's no fed help existing anymore. Looking forward to their rewards, their whining, crying, tantrums, their destitution.

Golly Jee how could we possibly get a lick in edgewise? These men are so rich and powerful! Bezos, Musk & Zuck! Gosh what could we do? Is there some kinda bus we could all boycott for a few weeks? I’m just so confused. So so confused.

wolf2point0.bsky.social•118 days ago

When future generations ask how we let this happen I’ll be sure to remind them that while the rest of the world fought back tyranny in their own governments, a country full of self entitled spoiled and ungrateful brats decided instead to argue with strangers on the internet about made up problems.

kakistokrat.bsky.social•117 days ago

Thanks for handing us over to our abuser, Joe. That negates everything you did for 50 years. Congratulations on never violating a norm nor upending a tradition. I have to go now, mein Dear Leader is demanding I show loyalty or I will be placed in a lovely camp for the disloyal.

craftykathy.bsky.social•117 days ago

He has immunity and lectures us. No pushback on a hacked election, no pushback on Elon Musk. No pushback from most Dems and the likes of many like fetterman, obeying in advance. Please don’t lecture us when many dem politicians have already quit on us including our president.

You talk as if you should be rescued,from what?I grew up in Jim Crow&have always seen this country for what it is.Ppl my ppl dragged into democracy kicking&screaming after a century of fighting&dying to get it again&know it was a fluke&could easily revert to America’s true state.Fight fr or don’t.

rogueresistknitter.bsky.social•118 days ago

What really amazes me, out of all these so-called revelations from Biden and even Sanders, is their complete inability to admit that the Democratic party has benefitted just as much from oligarchs as the Republicans. The Democrat supporting oligarchs just haven't been as obvious or blatant about it.

jano52.bsky.social•117 days ago

The difference is that Democratic oligarchs aren't out to purchase and subjugate our society. Republican oligarchs are. We are going to suffer, for at least four years and maybe more. Voters need to stop being so gullible and/or ignorant.

cannaguy.bsky.social•118 days ago

It’s not like Biden was in office his entire adult life and could have fought for these things while he was there. Instead he wanted to be nice to Strom Thurman. Biden was in office so long he served with actual segregationists…and was nice to them.

Hijacked, hog tied, ball gagged, and dressed in a gimp suit for the amusement of the king and his court. I can only hope it survives the next 4 years and that it's possible to oust it conclusively -- starting that process with the mid-terms.

southernkathleen.bsky.social•118 days ago

This is for the citizens who didn't WANT to believe, President Biden is speaking to THEM. Sometimes it takes a word from a President, before they can fathom the chaos that has arrived

overtobserver.bsky.social•118 days ago

A little late to the party.......The oligarchy has been In attendance for the past 40 years......ever since Clinton invited Wall Street to the DNC. Citizen United cemented it into the Constituion.

The rich elite have always held the puppet strings. Now with Trump their hand is right up the puppet’s ass.

I'm just an idiot but if I were president, I would have been telling the American people what was coming down the pike w/Trump.
In simple language with concrete examples. Also, what I was doing for THEM.
I would have made it impossible for the press to ignore me. But like I said...idiot 🙄

auntiemegz.bsky.social•117 days ago

We could stop it, but that would involve taking steps no one wants to take. Things have yet to get bad enough and too many people are in denial. Also, revolutions are messy, often bloody and sometimes, lead to something worse that what was yeeted from office.

We shall see what happens.

kakistokrat.bsky.social•117 days ago

The Ruling Class are all comfortable. Nothing will change until they are uncomfortable.

vixenbite.bsky.social•117 days ago

This basically spells it out. The norms won’t work here and hat is what people are in denial over. Voting blue didn’t work. Future voting is questionable because they probably won’t allow it

mgp28.bsky.social•118 days ago

I’m a fan of Jo Biden, aside from his many outstanding qualities he always comes across as a decent chap. That said, I think the use of oligarchy in relation to the incoming administration may be an understatement… it looks and feels more like the emergence of a plutocracy to me…

Their 2017 tax scam expires at the end of this year. Not only will they re-authorize it they will make it even more punitive to the rest of us that aren't part of the 1%. How do you fight back against that? The states can only do so much.
