Joe’s Biden— Bad!

The New York Times is dead to me.

Right wing rag.

I'm cancelling my subscription.

TODAY.

In this case, they are correct.

I stand with Joe Biden

Pelosi = evil witch Clintons = corrupt fucks Obamas = smug scolds

Yeah it says it will somehow survive.

r3 Meh, you tried

r1 " I'm cancelling my subscription. "

You don't currently subscribe, but we like the thought!

I never bother with their writing anymore

Josh Barro is right. I say that as someone who thinks Biden was a good president.

That is not a New York Times Editor's editorial. It is a guest editorial. Learn to fucking read a newspaper, you fucking Dora Dumbfucks.

But, but —they published it.

[quote]In the last week of the campaign, he stepped on her “closing argument” speech by suggesting on a Zoom call that Trump supporters are “garbage.” One gaffe most likely didn’t matter for the final result, but it showed that Mr. Biden too often could not find the best way to help Democrats win, even when the way was something as simple as shutting up.

[quote]He failed at that, as he had many things, and he deserves to be judged harshly for it.

Those are the last two paragraphs that Josh Barro chose to write in his "essay", r9. I never knew his name before, but I'll never forget it now. He chose to kick our soon to be former president down after a lifetime of service rather than focus on the problem immediately at hand - that a convicted felon that has openly said "no one will ever need to vote again", is now the president of the united states for 4 years.

The Times chose to throw their weight behind that essay, so yes, I will be cancelling my subscription - after watching what they post for a few more weeks.

So basically, they have run out of people to blame and now, the person responsible for Harris' loss is the same demented old crook whom they were praising as a great statesman and the salvation of American democracy only a few months ago? This is just ridiculous.

First it was the "deplorables", then it was the fact that Bernie Sanders talks down to women and the 'Bernie Bros' were misogynists, then it was Tulsi Gabbard, then it was Jill Stein and Susan Sarandon, then it was Russia, then it was the "lies" about Hunter Biden's laptop, then it was anyone who criticized Ukraine, then it was China, then it was alternative media, then it was working class white men, then it was pro-Palestine protesters, then it was Iran, then it was misogynistic black men, then it was Tiktok-addicted Gen Z voters and now, after they cannot blame anybody else for the corruption, imperialism and incompetence that have made them MASSIVELY unpopular, they're blaming Biden. Talk about being pathetic.

Harris has lost because people's quality of life has been steadily decreasing over the last forty years, and things have reached levels of inequality that are unbearable. People have made the mistake of allowing Trump to falsely present himself as some sort of working class hero, but the truth is that even he is a less atrocious choice than the donor-imposed Kamala Harris, who is one of the worst candidates in history - so much so, that a vulgar reality TV show host has been able to best her.

It's time for the Democrats to face the fact the their shameless pro-corporate policies have turned them into pariahs among the working class, and allowed the equally horrible Republicans to cynically exploit their hypocrisy by claiming to be better. Unless they change course VERY abruptly, they're condemned to simply collapse into irrelevance. And the worse of it all is that by allowing the Pelosi/Clinton/Obama crime syndicate to control them, they have made themselves deserving of disappearing.

Josh Barro gave up fighting the fat and is on Ozempic.

Can people stop pretending the "working class" is naturally left-wing? America had the best economy over the past few years and a large share of those gains went to the lower classes. Yes, inflation was bad, but it was worse in other western countries, not to mention countries like Turkey or some in Latin America. The issue here is American insularity. These people in the "working class" care more about cultural issues than economic ones. If it was an economics issue, they would have voted for Harris, not the one who is going to put insane tariffs on everything.

Ultimately, this was all about inflation, most of which was the fault of covid but the Biden administration does bare some responsibility for making it worse with the third round of stimulus checks. And they could have acted earlier on the border (althought they did eventually). I can't wait to see how Trump voters act once tariffs come into play.
