Not just Biden. All the Dems. BUT... I think as it becomes clearer (and it is) that this was not a landslide... I pray Dems will buck up, push back, and develop better fact-messaging to combat the lie-maching (uninformed voters believing lies is the main reason we lost). But they better do it soon.

Not Biden. He's done. He looks beaten down and defeated. But Kamala should. Goddamn, Trump lost in 2020 and he never fucking shut up. Said he won, held rallies, you name it. For 4 entire years of the Biden Administration we heard more from Donald Trump than from the president of the United States.

vjm4democracy.bsky.social•99 days ago

And who was responsible for that?

litzz11.bsky.social•99 days ago

Part of it is explained here.

I saw that.

Still lots of analysis to be done, but I agree that disinformation by the right (on their social media as the article points out), and ‘sane-washing’ by main stream media played a huge part.

randycam1.bsky.social•100 days ago

The gloves should have come off years ago

threedeep03.bsky.social•100 days ago

The sad part was that losing was out of our control. Yes we need hope right now

safeatthird.bsky.social•100 days ago

It’s how and where that messaging goes… the only messaging they have is @MSNBC and Progress on SiriusXM compared to the 100’s IF not 1000’s of media outlets dedicated to the right or should I say the Russian propaganda machine, because that’s what it is.

sgemmill.bsky.social•100 days ago

Hard agree!

joedmills2.bsky.social•100 days ago

Feels like they’re rolling over

drgee.bsky.social•100 days ago

Need a better electorate. Too many drooling idiots.

herronohio.bsky.social•100 days ago

He did speak up for 4 years. Those that listen voted for him and Kamala, those who didn’t, or don’t believe Biden voted for Trump. It’s FAFO time. We all need to be ready but those that won’t listen need to learn the harder lesson at this point

rmayemsinger.bsky.social•100 days ago

There's a difference between communicating what the threat was (which he did) and explaining what recess appointments mean... and why it shouldn't happen.

herronohio.bsky.social•100 days ago

I agree, but the problem is the majority of our country is not politically engaged. They aren’t listening, they’ve moved on to whatever new reality show is out. We as a country need to figure out to get people more engaged

What do people expect from the dupes of the Antichrist - “a person prophesied by the Bible to oppose Jesus Christ and falsely substitute themselves as a savior in Christ's place”.

tm71.bsky.social•100 days ago

This. All states are purple and with just a slightly less Nazi-loving press this could have gone differently. People who knew better chose evil. They normalized it. How do we combat this? We cannot count on the party but they might act in response. Who do we call? Bc this is abominable.

ponderer.bsky.social•100 days ago

I feel like the problem of facts vs lies is that no amount of well-spoken facts can counter someone who is expert at absolutely drowning you in the biggest gobsmacking lies possible. It defines reality. That's why Trump was the worst existential threat to ever wander into politics.

regularjo64.bsky.social•100 days ago

I agree, but I fear they won’t. I’m ashamed and embarrassed for my party, and how quickly and easily they gave up. I feel abandoned.

mybodymychoice.bsky.social•100 days ago

It’s possible Kamala conceded so soon as to avoid a MAGA civil war that was brewing and waiting to explode

ashmcgrathwrites.bsky.social•99 days ago

The very definition of a lame duck president.

Y’all didn’t want him… he’s too old…..drop out…Pelosi said drop out….Clooney degraded him… and y’all want him now …unbelievable

peterchan.bsky.social•100 days ago

Everyone treated him so poorly and now he's still getting blamed

He talked about it for years and all he got was... he's too old... step aside

Smdh

dzimet.bsky.social•100 days ago

I imagine him thinking something like “I hope you guys liked your replacement candidate, good luck” 😑 He shouldn’t have run again, but otherwise he did basically everything that could be asked of him

tribal-lights.bsky.social•100 days ago

I'm more than disappointed in Biden. He has presidential immunity. Fucking DO SOMETHING!

barrys3.bsky.social•100 days ago

He won’t so how about his VP? She ran a great campaign, no reason to step to the sidelines now.

socinvestigator.bsky.social•99 days ago

Must be some reason because she has.

mpgutis.bsky.social•100 days ago

I find it infuriating that the Democrats are almost always “nice.” For pity’s sake, have a spine. Stand up to these traitors and stop being nice!

vjm4democracy.bsky.social•99 days ago

Sometimes things don’t happen as fast as we’d like.

And you don’t fight authoritarianism with more authoritarianism.

mysticmojo.bsky.social•100 days ago

As we are careening--full speed--off a cliff, Biden's silence is galling, and frustrating as hell.

vjm4democracy.bsky.social•99 days ago

He’s not silent. He’s acting, not jabbering.

Effective strategies aren’t always quick off the mark.

rustynyc.bsky.social•100 days ago

can anyone explain what's going on with Biden, Harris? these old tweets about infrastructure success, etc., i mean is anyone asking for comment, or just pretending its all ok? very odd right now...

peterchan.bsky.social•100 days ago

No media is interested in them now... and democrats want to blame Biden now when he did what was asked of him.

They threw him out with the trash after one bad night of debate so what did you expect... he's human after all

socinvestigator.bsky.social•99 days ago

Weird, isn't it? I've responded great, but the election's over. Tell us what you're doing to throw up guardrails & gum up the machine for Trump. They campaign telling us he's an existential threat, a fascist. Then lose election & oh, never mind. Raise some hell, elected Dems--while you have power.

natrlredhd.bsky.social•100 days ago

I agree with you, why isn’t he fighting? I hate the pretending of it all😓

peterchan.bsky.social•100 days ago

Cause everyone didn't want him no more.. remember? He's been beaten to a pulp the last years from both sides

He just said fuck y'all...I warned you but nobody wants to listen to him

Can't blame him now

amyduvallski83.bsky.social•100 days ago

Whyyyy is he so quiet???

peterchan.bsky.social•100 days ago

Cause everyone beat this man to a pulp... on both sides

Nobody wanted him and he got out of the way

mikecatman.bsky.social•100 days ago

Truth full on.

frizy-ghost.bsky.social•100 days ago

I love Joe but this is ridiculous

bageltthewonderdog.bsky.social•100 days ago

America's new campgrounds will be concentration camps.

twinksy.bsky.social•100 days ago

Disagree! Your blaming one man it is us that did not speak up. He ran around yelling democracy while people called him feeble. He helped the whole world and got threw under the bus,👀

ewokspear.bsky.social•100 days ago

I'm afraid Biden doesn't have much left.

peterchan.bsky.social•100 days ago

Cause everyone beat him to a pulp after the debate and he stepped aside

bluedotinohio.bsky.social•100 days ago

The undoing of America, sanctioned by “we are better than them” top brass democrats are truly what stands in the way! I’m sorry I voted some real pussies to congress and senate in previous elections!

paradoxica71956.bsky.social•99 days ago

Biden can speak?

matthewrigdon.bsky.social•100 days ago

Problem is even if he were to say this, it wouldn’t get traction anywhere. Well, on left-leaning websites and blogs and podcasts, but those haven’t been cultivated enough (that needs to be fixed).

matthewrigdon.bsky.social•100 days ago

There is the old saying “Stay out of your enemy’s way when he’s screwing up” and by doing this, Biden has put in the heads of all those people who don’t read any news that Trump is already president. Markets are trending down. Things are getting bad. And it’s all on Trump’s head at this point.

peterchan.bsky.social•100 days ago

Yup
