some libs and baby leftists are kinda baffled by the trump banter here and don't know what's serious and what's irony

Trump is a grotesque monster, but he’s hated by libs not for vile actions, but because he was rude. We don’t value civility here, so we can laugh at him when he’s funny, but he and every living American president deserves to be tried in The Hague

See, this is why I don't trust y'all. How can you pretend to be leftist when to you the fundamental difference between Trump and any other political administration is literally just that he's rude.

How is it that nothing else, from the rights of workers and of oppressed minorities to the protection of the environment to access to health care and education, means anything?

If none of that means anything more than being rude or not, you're not a leftist. You're a cosplayer.

from the rights of workers

Who crushed the rail strike

of oppressed minorities

who let roe v wade expire

protection of the environment

how many oil drilling licenses were given out in the last 4 years

access to health care and education

lol

All presidents are bad, and all advance the cruelty of the previous president. Are we still ignoring covid? are we still imprisoning people at the border?

Who was a vocal supporter of segregation?

Democrats and Republicans exist as two parts of a rightward political ratchet system. Biden as VP was only run because he was the more right wing counterbalance to Obama's "radical socialist agenda" We get one cheeto-man in the white house and suddenly Biden is the "most pro labor president in history"? Come the fuck on.
