No further info in the article as it’s breaking news. NBC broke into the inauguration to announce it.
Biden pardoned his entire family and their spouses as Trump directly threatened all of them.
To be honest, there is a lot of blame to be cast on the Dem leadership as well as the voters. They managed to run one of the most uninspiring campaigns of all time.
Americans are not the dumbest mf around because you voted a felon and the man who attempted a coup into office knowing full ell us has literally no measures to make him ever leave.
You are the dumbest mf around since you blame the other campaign for being uninspiring.
It was the most important election in US history: a literal felon who attempted a coup and was somehow not hanged for it vs a candidate.
Can confirm; am american.
The Politics community on Lemmy is not open to being told such things though. There are a persistent handful here who like blaming and attacking anyone left of the democratic party who did not fall in line. They will continue to do so while the MAGA regime destroys that which is still decent and good in this country.
Yeah no. Even if the choice had been a blabbering idiot with a Napoleon identity crisis and a beany with propellor for a hat…. then still you don’t vote for a grifting fascist antichrist . It’s really not that hard.
Nah, they gave voters plenty to be hopeful about but none of them actually want that future. The choice was pretty damn clear.
What would the second Biden/Harris admin have done that the first wouldn’t have? Actual functioning healthcare? They didn’t even say they were aiming for that.
Look, I’m not saying the Dems weren’t the less bad choice, I’m not even saying that voters should have been more active, but what happened was that Dems weren’t able to turn out the vote because they alienated some of their electorate. Trump mostly didn’t gain or lose voters.
And it’s quite a shit take to have it out for “Gaza single issue voters”, when you ask them to be “no fascism single issue voters”. Some people have different sets of values, almost nobody wants to live in a dictatorship, but aside from a few outliers like Lina Khan, the Dems just didn’t work for the people.
And stepping back, it was not even the current Dems’ fault mainly. It’s the entire political establishment of the past decades letting the system slide into this, inch by inch. It’s every time some rich guy didn’t get arrested for his shenanigans, every little slip where money trumped morals and laws. This is the result.
Imagine, just imagine, if the ICE threw the illegal immigrant Musk out like they do with brown people. Or if the IRS wasn’t underfunded for decades. And I know that it’s mostly the ghoulish machinations of the GOP that’s to blame for that, but I never saw a Dem presidential candidate campaign on “law and order for the wealthy as well” or “make megacorps pay their due taxes”, or even “let’s catch up to the rest of the world with healthcare”.
“Not having a felon who attempted coup enter into office that has recently proved that dictatorships and tyranny are legal in US alienated the voters”
Americans deserve every single thing coming to them and they deserve to prove yet again they are some of the most uneducated, unintelligent and self absorbed people around.
If you are either one of the Americans this doesn’t apply to, you have already taken it as a champ since you understand collective punishment means everyone needs to take it.
