I don't give a damn if Biden wears a Rolex.

I give a damn that he has more than half a dozen sexual harassment allegations and a history of groping girls and women.

The comments in this thread from people who claim to support #MeToo are just ... repulsive.
For those with their heads in the sand:

And more receipts...

If this doesn't matter to you, YOU are the problem, not those of us who think this is important.

Is there any secret I can share having been inside the system?

Yes.

For the most part, they're all buddies.

THREAD — WHY BOTH PARTIES SUCK

The GOP is pure trash. Rightwing extremists. Theocrats. White supremacists.

Dem leaders are their willing enablers, more hateful to the left than to fascists.

They serve the same goal: upholding a cruel system that oppresses the working class.
WHAT HAPPENED UNDER DEM MAJORITIES?

Mass deportation. Caged children. Droned babies. Gitmo. Gun violence. Prosecuting whistleblowers. Healthcare disaster. Bloated military. More war. Racist policing. Climate crisis. Billionaire bailouts. Obscene inequality. Homelessness. Hunger.
THE DUOPOLY CAUSES IMMENSE SUFFERING

We have the wealth and resources not to have a single houseless person, a single hungry person, a single caged child, a single citizen without healthcare and money for basic necessities.

Instead, we get this:

So Biden's plan went from $2,000 to $1,400.

A one time payment.

Not retroactive to March.

Not monthly.

And no #MedicareForAll, so people will still bear the crushing burden of medical expenses.

Garbage, that's what this is.
To everyone responding "$1400 + $600 = $2000" ... give me a friggin' break. Biden's promise was $2,000, and I'd wager anything that nobody who heard him thought he planned to subtract the $600.
I mean, come on...

REMINDER:

Joe Biden has groped girls. On camera.

Joe Biden has multiple sexual harassment accusations.

He should never have been a candidate. Or president.

But the establishment cares nothing for moral standards.

That doesn't make the truth any less relevant.
In no other job would Biden have been in a leadership position. He most likely would have been fired for his behavior.

When there's enough material for an entire segment about your unwanted touching, you don't typically get promoted.

CONGRATS OLIGARCHS!

#NancyPelosi was just reelected as Speaker.
PELOSI IS THE CHIEF PROTECTOR OF THE ESTABLISHMENT

An expert at pacifying her fans with laughably empty theatrics, while raking in millions off faux-opposition.

She funded Trump's worst abuses and refused to wield her power to hold ANY of his goons accountable.
Pelosi is part of the Democratic leadership (including the Obamas and Biden) who rehabilitated George W. Bush and gave him and his cronies a free pass for war crimes.

TRUMP, BIDEN & THE RATCHET EFFECT

While Dems gleefully dance on Trump's political grave, they ignore how dangerously consequential his presidency has been. And how little Biden will do to reverse it.

Trump totally reshaped the courts. Biden promises GOP-friendly incrementalism.
TRUMP, BIDEN & THE RATCHET EFFECT

With the acquiescence (or assistance) of Dem leaders, Trump:

▪️ Reshaped the courts in his fascist image
▪️ Normalized the torture of migrants
▪️ Empowered dictators
▪️ Gave a massive handup to billionaires
▪️ Damaged the #MeToo movement
TRUMP, BIDEN & THE RATCHET EFFECT

Biden and the Dem establishment want a tepid "return to normal." That 'normal' was living hell for most people.

Biden and the Dem establishment will make war on the left and coddle the right.

Thus, Trump's destructive legacy will be cemented.
