All well and good – even if the superdooper cool plan is to roll out the vaccine at the same pace as the moron with no plan was already doing. In spite of which, Biden’s admin will no doubt take Covid more seriously and slow the loss of life that was snowballing under said moron. And hey, he cancelled keystone right out of the gate, which was a small but welcome step in the right direction. But again, look past your nose. I’m not talking domestically, I’m talking about what the change in president means to those living abroad, especially those that the USA is hostile towards.

Anyways, y’all seem to take it quite personally whenever someone critcizes dear leader, regardless of where the criticism comes from or whether it is valid. I thought that was a thing that only the Trump camp did, but I guess it’s an American thing.

I’m genuinely confused by this reply. What attitude led to 4 years of Trump?

So criticizing US foreign interventionist policy is bad, or at least the same foreign policy as practiced by Dems. Same for pointing out any similarities between the two parties that, to varying degrees, serve the interests of the wealthy over the needs of ordinary Americans. No, no, it’s not decades of failed neoliberalism that relentlessly fucks everyone over with a few wealthy exceptions that led to Trump, it’s daring to be critical of the one party that performs woke theatre and does marginally more for the public than the other one. The military industrial complex is good. Doing far too little to prevent an environmental disaster is good, because it is not doing nothing. And don’t you DARE criticize giving inadequate crumbs to those in need, you ungrateful fucks, or you’ll get nothing. And no matter what, if you don’t shut the fuck up and know your place, we’ll blame you for the inevitable nihilism and backlash that leads to the next more capable Trump. God fucking help us all.

Both parties trip over themselves to fellate banks and Wall Street. Both parties are rabidly opposed to single-payer universal healthcare. Neither party has met a military spending bill it wouldn’t stab a baby to get passed. Other than the 4-year freakshow of the recent past, we had decades of nothing but minor cosmetic differences between them. Which, contrary to your “vote Blue or else you get Trump” bullshit, is PRECISELY why Trump was able to happen. Do you really think a venal, corrupt, lying dipshit like that could have won if the status quo was anything but terrible-and-getting-continuously-worse?

It’s not about Bernie, you turnip! It’s about preventing the next (and worse) Trump.
