The former US first lady told CBS News that she was frightened by Joe Biden’s performance against Donald Trump.

    Didn’t you defend running Biden until his brain literally melted during that debate? That was like driving on a flat tire until litterally the rim was sparking on the asphalt.

      I still would have voted Biden in over Trump after that debate but I saw what Biden did during his presidency and it was pretty amazing stuff.

        The point is that Biden needed to not be the candidate. You did the work that got Trump elected by insisting on them as the candidate.

        And your vote is utterly immaterial. What you “would” have done is fucking irrelevant. The entire point is that you did do the thing that prevented us from being able to stop Trump.

                I mean there is just so much less for me to do at this point. The world and voting public have largely come to adopted the understanding and worldview I’ve been putting out all these long years. They used to need me to explain it to them: now they can explain it themselves.

                Instead of having to explain it and call it out, people just recognize fascism now.

                    It’s about what you advocate for not what you claim to do. Like, no one is fooled by the gimmick of you claiming to vote one way, while you repeatedly and consistently are doing things and advocating for approaches that objectively hurt Democrats ability to stop fascism. No amount of cosplaying as if “you voting” changes the fact that you’ve actively and persistently advocated for all of the strategies and decisions which resulted in fascism taking over. Your vote doesn’t wash your hands clean. You did all the thing fascism needed you to for it to take over, and voting for Harris doesn’t give you a hall pass.

                    And you aren’t unique in this. There is a whole political enterprise collapsing in on itself also based on your world view. And it also would align with fascists and Republicans to work against the interests of the American people.

                    No amount of ABWD or blue maga undies the damage you sought to do.
