I feel as if the same people who in early 2020 were angrily scolding me that Biden was the only choice because only he could make deals with Republicans will angrily tell be Biden is blameless here because Republicans cannot be moved.
For example, among many others, Joe Biden told me that.
Look: I voted for Biden. I’m glad he’s president instead of fascist shit-for-brains. But his whole thing was that he’d bring Republicans around, that they’d come to their senses as soon as Trump left. Now he needs to deliver on that plan, or change plans to deliver another way.
It’s not just ok for us to expect our leaders to deliver for us, it’s our duty to demand it.
I thought Biden was going to lose for sure. I was wrong about that. Glad I was! Happy to admit it!

I thought he was wrong to believe Republicans would come around. And he was wrong! I’d like to see him admit it and stop trying a failed strategy. I’d like to see a better one.

Founder of notable white-supremacy-laundering publication is shocked shocked to discover the anti-racism-discourse activist she’s been supporting is now peddling unfiltered nazism. Image
I encountered the unique disingenuous toxicity of shambling racist grifter James Lindsay last year, and it was as unpleasant as it was educational about the tactics and intentions of anti-woke movement.
All Claire Lehmann wanted to do was (under the auspices of promoting free speech) to shut down discussions of racism embedded into legal and societal structures, and now one of her allies is sliding effortlessly into nazi talk? oh no however could she have seen that coming.

So you are actually going to sit there and *pretend* that Louie Gohmert isn’t capable of being outsmarted by an uncooked pie barm.
Person mad at my joke is very angry that I didn’t get a joke.

Me: mildly disparaging comment about woody allen

A Dozen Very Normal People Who Do Not Follow Me With Accounts Entirely Dedicated To Unsolicited Defenses Of Woody Allen:
He’s made terrible movies and great ones and terrible ones people think are great. But he’s an abusive creep at best, and I think people dedicated to his defense in this manner have suspect motives.
When we learn unsavory things about artists, for some people the immediate mission becomes renewing their own license to enjoy a completely uncomplicated relationship with the artist’s work, and they will ANNOUNCE themselves to people with less selfish priorities.

Billionaires are a wasteful luxury that a sustainable society can’t afford.
We can’t afford to not provide everyone with what is needed for survival: food, water, shelter, medical care.

Putting aside for a moment the moral imperative to recognize the natural right to live of all humans, we cannot any longer fail to provide.

It’s far too expensive.
How are we possibly going to afford to not make basic needs available freely to all?

How can we possibly pay the massive price of not changing our energy infrastructure to meet the demands of climate catastrophe?

We must stop capitalism’s wasteful spending habits.

At least make these pricks actually filibuster.
Pass 51 identical voting rights laws and put them all up for vote at once, then make the Republican Senators actually filibuster.

Pass the one that doesn’t get filibustered.
Look, if that doesn’t work try something else. The thing that has to get done has to get done.

“Simply put, I’m against the people.”

Joe Manchin's argument fundamentally rests on the ludicrous premise that the lack of support to the solution to the problem, which comes entirely from the party loudly acting to create the problem, is a failing not of the party creating the problem, but rather of the solution.
"Not one member of the opposing team has agreed to help us win this football game, therefore our strategy must be flawed."

"Not one hijacker has agreed to work with us to regain control of this airplane. We simply need to be more convincing, or the strife may increase."
