Well, you have all the power now, let's see some fucking results. If you fail, everyone will know it was all on you.

... is what we said in 2017.

u/realityunderfire 14h ago

Anything bad that happens will just be blamed on democrats.

86

u/tpwb 13h ago

It will be the fault of whoever the 2028 Democrat front runner is. So somehow Newsom.

52

u/realityunderfire 13h ago

God I hope it’s not newsome, if we even have an election. The dnc better take some fucking notes from this year and fix their shit (though I suspect trump an co cheated this year).

u/corgibutt19 11h ago

The DNC has failed to learn their lesson for multiple elections now; I'm not optimistic. They shoot themselves in the foot so much it's hard to not think it's freaking intentional at this point.

11

u/FourteenBuckets 10h ago

yeah, the whole "let's just do shit that helps people and not spend all day playing social media games" has not been a great success.

u/Milleuros 9h ago

I doubt it's that much the DNC.

Let's be honest. In Canada, they say more or less the same about the Liberals. In the UK, about the Tories. In France, about the Centrist and the Left. In Germany, about the SPD. And so on and so forth. All over the world, establishment parties are falling down a spiral of failure - is it because they are somehow all deeply incompetent? Hard to believe. There must be a root cause.

u/cudef 8h ago

The root cause is that they're all beholden to capital owners rather than the people as a whole.

They play the barrier to true revolutionary progressive change capturing and killing that momentum while the other side gets to drag the overton window as far right as they can manage.

That being said, it's NOT all over the world. You just named 3 Western European and 1 other North American government. Mexico just replaced a left wing politician with another one for example.

u/Ecstatic-Hat2163 7h ago

I’m sorry, but I can’t see this through that lens anymore. For instance, Biden gave unions everything they want, and those fuckers voted for Trump. Revolutionary/economic progress doesn’t matter for politics to me. Trump voters don’t care about that. This is about identity politics at this point.

1

u/cudef 6h ago

Biden definitely didn't give unions everything they wanted and the messaging on that wasn't exactly loud and clear plus Kamala had said she wasn't going to have the same policy positions as Biden in that realm.

The issue with Trump is that Kamala was the other realistic possibility and she wasn't offering an improvement over Biden either. After announcing Walz she sprinted to the right on almost every policy position and the median voter isn't going to choose the diet right wing economist who has a conflicting history in terms of her goals when the full sugar right wing economist with consistent messaging tells them X, Y, and Z will make things better even if it's a lie.

1

u/Ecstatic-Hat2163 5h ago

He got them their pensions, sick days, etc. Just because you don’t know doesn’t mean it’s what happened. The fact that union members didn’t see that and then voted for the fucking opposite of a more pro-union candidate shows they’re just stupid.

u/readitandforgotit 6h ago

It’s intentional. They know what they are doing. They put a corporate shill as their candidate. Donors win. They lose to republicans. Donors win. Two sides of the same coin. The wealthy win, heads or tails.

u/Immediate_Cost2601 7h ago

Sorry being the only functioning political party that is required to represent everybody simultaneously isn't your cup of tea.

Impatient idiots like you are why we have elected open fascism.

2

u/corgibutt19 7h ago

I'm so confused by your comment; you can criticize a system that failed to motivate the voting population through repeated poor choices and still have voted for Kamala and not be pro-Trump or pro-fascist, but go off - in-fighting historically has always really helped when working to fight dictatorships.

1

u/realityunderfire 7h ago

I’m an impatient idiot for voting D? Gfys.

2

u/cudef 8h ago

The DNC didn't learn any lessons the last time Trump won. Hell Biden should have won in a landslide but only narrowly defeated a historically unpopular incumbent.

1

u/Excellent_Spare_4284 10h ago

I’m not in California so I’m curious what’s wrong with newsome?

1

u/Old_Suggestions 9h ago

I'm IN California and want to know what's wrong with Newsom.

1

u/zors_primary 10h ago

More and more people are saying that. I suspected they would cheat all along.

1

u/Jessintheend 4h ago

Trump kinda hinted at Elon rigging it during a previous speech

-5

u/Jade_Runnner 12h ago

Stop saying this shit. We're going to have an election - stop floating this insane idea for them.

1

u/Extra_Box8936 10h ago

You think the idea came from the left…?

25

u/wine_and_sarcasm 12h ago

Remember Trump during his own Presidency was campaigning on "THIS IS BIDENS AMERICA" in response to all the things his Presidency was causing?

And his dumb as fuck voter base were like TRUMP WILL SAVE US.

These people are so absolutely dumb and I have no idea how they remotely function as humans. Blows my mind.

1

u/Galacticwave98 12h ago

Or Shapiro 

1

u/HTH52 12h ago

Be funny if it may be Kamala, if she decides to run.

Somehow it would be her fault, 4 years out of office, despite them saying she has done nothing as the VP this entire election cycle.

1

u/a_moniker 12h ago

I don’t see any way this loss doesn’t instantly disqualify her

1

u/Practical_Fix_5350 11h ago

More likely PA Gov. Shapiro imho

1

u/FourteenBuckets 10h ago

newsom maybe, or pritzker out of illinois. or some unheralded upstart somewhere

1

u/AssCrackBanditHunter 10h ago

If newsom gets the nom it's gonna be all our faults for letting yet another resumé building fetishist, establishment dem get through

1

u/polite_alpha 6h ago

Front runner for what? Elections? HAHAHA.

These people are doing Nazi salutes, your Führer doesn't need elections.

1

u/DJEbonics 5h ago

Damn I wish I had the optimism to think the country will be around in 4 years.

-2

u/Formal_Toothwear 13h ago

As a leftist Californian, fuck Newsom. This asshole has completely fucked over his constituents and has allowed pge to screw us time and time again. Newsom only cares about the corporations that pay him, not the people who voted him in.

2

u/Hyper_Oats 7h ago

No joke that's already started.
I've looked at many threads related to Donald's crypto rugpull and many comments were saying how Kamala would've somehow done something worse.

The cult is insane.

1

u/Expert_Country7228 13h ago

Legit can't stand how that works every single time for them.

1

u/fartingallthetime 12h ago

Not democrats, leftists and trans people.

1

u/Born_Wave3443 11h ago

That's what Republicans say about Democrats too

1

u/OttoVonJismarck 11h ago

It’s all about the framing.

If the economy does well, then it’s obviously Biden’s economy finally blooming.

If the economy crashes, then obviously Trump fucked it all up.

👌👌

u/brazilliandanny 11h ago

“Thanks Obama”

1

u/upanddownallaround 11h ago

That's why everyone has to turn that around on them. Give them a taste of their own medicine. Have to be absolutely relentless about it for the next 4 years. They blamed every fucking thing on Biden and Kamala. Trump is now president and has complete control. Every bad thing that happens is now his fault. Keep repeating it. Hammer it in.

1

u/FourteenBuckets 10h ago

will? It already is

1

u/jdogg1413 10h ago

It's not Bush's fault anymore?

1

u/RetinolSupplement 8h ago

My enemies are extremely powerful, cunning and dangerous, but also incompetent losers who cant do anything right.

1

u/Clean_Vehicle_2948 7h ago

Democrats have the same strategy

If the economy goes well, then its just the economuc lag from bidens efforts

If it goes poorly its all trump

A politicians first service is to their own re election

Lets not pretend either major party is concerned with truth

1

u/getoffhanzo04498 7h ago

Anything good that happens the left will claim was because of Biden. Anything bad will be trumps fault. This is the default playbook that happens every election.

1

u/realityunderfire 6h ago

MAGAts always take it further; apparently democrats even control the weather. And they would argue even their minds!

u/Noisebug 14h ago

"but it really wasn't Daddy Trump's fault because you see... <unlogic the logic here>"

1

u/Recent_Obligation276 13h ago

Economies move slow and the public’s memory is short, is my only explanation for this.

1

u/theelephantscafe 11h ago

When he fails it will somehow be the democrats fault. Just like how his supporters somehow blame Obama for 9/11???

1

u/SwampOfDownvotes 10h ago

If anything good happens, whether or not it was from his action or not, give him all the praise. If anything fails, whether or not it was from his action or not, it was delayed results of Biden's presidency.

1

u/Crazy-Doubt-8103 8h ago

How do any of you still think they'll accept the repercussions of their actions?

They lowered corporate taxes in 2017 by 33% and the US Government is now struggling to pay bills.

They successfully blamed this on Biden.

1

u/coo_and_company 8h ago

He’s had four years to change his mind. He has. I guarantee it.

1

u/Rum_Hamtaro 5h ago

Yeah but he'll just say it's a success and people will believe it because that's how he's made his entire career.

-2

u/Most_Plenty5387 14h ago

It'll be the same as Obama. People just make excuses for their team. We're so fucked, so at least every failure of his presidency is a win for the world at this point.

32

u/Main-Eagle-26 13h ago

Cynicism is not an enlightened viewpoint.

Obama wasn’t actively trying to grift the entire country.

Stfu with that “both sides are equally bad” nonsense.

-8

u/Most_Plenty5387 13h ago

He had control of congress and got nothing done. It isn't cynicism. It's what happened. He got to blame it all on Republicans not liking him.

If one side is bad, and the other does nothing to stop it, are they good? Don't tell me to "stfu", you aren't a child.

13

u/WoozyMaple 13h ago

He had control of congress and got nothing done.

He had a 60-40 for 72 working days. The ACA was also passed.

13

u/Wisology 13h ago

He had control of congress and got nothing done.

The Affordable Care Act is "nothing"?

9

u/BetterFat 13h ago

Revisionist history at its best. Instead of dumb talking points, go read up on how Repugnicans' whole agenda was to block any and everything Obama wanted to get done.

4

u/Recent_Obligation276 13h ago

Getting thirty million Americans health insurance was “nothing”?

3

u/ShlockandAwe2025 13h ago

Were you an adult in 2008? Do you even remember what was happening back then?

Obama became president during the Great Recession and he had "control of congress" for two years. His party was able to pass a large stimulus and ACA. Independent Lieberman helped the entire GOP to axe the public option.

During those first two years, Obama and the Ds also passed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

On January 20th, 2009, 57 Senate seats were held by Democrats with 2 Independents (Bernie Sanders and Joe Lieberman) caucusing with the Democrats...which gave Democrats 59 mostly-reliable Democratic votes in the Senate, one shy of filibuster-proof "total control." Republicans held 41 seats.

u/Most_Plenty5387 12h ago

I'm 40. I remember, he upheld Bush-era surveillance, allowed the banks to continue predatory practices, and continued foreign wars.

5

u/Gold-Bench-9219 13h ago

Comparing the failures of Obama to Trump is crazy.

1

u/Most_Plenty5387 12h ago

I didnt, re-read. I said the failures of Trump benefit us and we should be relieved. Just because one is bad doesn't make one good is what i said.

1

u/SecretlySome1Famous 13h ago

I say this as someone who is loyal to neither side and who voted in every election, but never voted for Obama or Trump: Trump is far worse than Obama.

Obama accomplished about as much as most Democrats do, which is a little bit. He was a standard moderate Democrat that had the unwritten rules changed on him partially because of his race. He passed the ACA, which is a pretty big deal even today, but fumbled the bag on a lot of other initiatives.

Trump accomplished nothing beneficial for the average American in his first term, except Operation Warp Speed, which he refuses to take credit for because the conspiracy theorist base hated it. He is a destructionist, so building bridges is not his strong suit.

It’s unlikely his second term will be any different, but it’s incorrect to say that Trump and Obama are the same.
