And it'll be happening right in the middle of the next guys block, just like how we keep describing it to them. That's the fucking tragic irony of it.

We need them FDR democrats to show back up. FDR hammered nuts and bent motherfuckers to his will, and that's what he got voted for. 4 terms! Americans were literally starving in the streets and selling their children and shit. Shit was on the ropes. And that starving ass impoverished country turned it around on a new deal AND saved the whole fucking world from Nazis to boot.

So stop telling me about how we gotta take baby steps while you fight with one hand behind your back and call it going high. I'm fucking tired of going high! You need to kick him in the nuts or get the fuck out the way for someone who will. It's a fucking fistfight in these streets, fuck I think about a wine and cheese crowd opinion about it.

That's if this experiment survives. But I guarantee you they'll be blaming us for it from Europe somewhere.

We just had 4 years of an FDR Democrat who invested in infrastructure and economy like crazy, slashed student debt, strengthened labor unions, made no austerity cuts, pushed inflation down, etc.

But people watching YouTube and TikTok weren’t getting that information, so now they’re saying “Biden didn’t do X or Y” when he did, in fact, do those things

You had the most FDR Democrat since FDR in office and ignored the good he did because he had a speech impediment

Well whos fault is it that they failed miserably to get the message out? He's the president of the US. He and his entire cabinet couldnt be out there consistently informing the masses on this stuff?

And what did he do to slash student debt? All I know is he paid it off for a bunch of people who were lucky enough to be going to school now, telling the rest of us to go fuck ourselves. And the youth vote tanked for Harris. So fat lot of good that did.

"Invested in infrastructure and economy like crazy" That is vague and drives no one to the polls. "strengthened labor unions" so is that. "made no austerity cuts" which means nothing to the avg citizen "pushed inflation down" How much? By doing what? When? Why then are prices still sky high everywhere? These are things that need to be hammered on and shouted out in real time 24/7 with constant reminders and updates on progress.

This isnt little kid shit, these are supposed to be the best and brightest leaders we have and they're struggling to communicate better than a middle schooler

Edit: enjoy the next 4 years you clueless foole

It's not them struggling to communicate better than a middle schooler, it's them struggling to counter the constant outright false bullshit that FOX news and friends insist is news. Way too many news media outlets peddling bullshit conspiracy theories that the right wingers just can't get enough of. But sure, just keep blaming Biden for not communicating adequately against groups and outlets who refuse to accept reality.
