        How is this relevant, he’s not in office. Trump is not less of a corrupt fraud because of someone else.

          It’s relevant because people on this website are desperate to pretend Democrats are in any way redeemable, a notion which should be cut down at every opportunity.

            Nu-uh you are comparing two very different situations as if what Biden did or intended is even close to what trump is doing.

          Crimes do not disappear. Would you also be ok with Trump not being held accountable once he is no longer president?

          He was in office for the first year and change.

          Your reply is intellectually dishonest, and you know it.

          Also, your last few comments are replies to me. Are you stalking me or something? Given that it’s on different subs, seems like more than just chance.

              Apparently important enough for you to leave a reply to two of my comments.

              /not sure how your comment is even relevant to this discussion, but whatever

              Lol, you aren’t the same person (unless you’re an alt?).

              My point is that getting a few comments from the same person on different subs that are all snide or bad faith / specious arguments is going to raise suspicions. I am unlikely to have even noticed if the comments didn’t come off like someone trying to argue for the sake of arguing.

              Thanks for the bit of levity.

                As opposed to bringing up specious arguments like “what about this guy who is longer in power” in threads about trying to actually accomplish something? Or arguments about how something doesn’t apply to a situation because it doesn’t specifically apply to you?

                Perhaps your own arguments are made for arguments sake and others just respond in kind. Take stock of your own life before blaming others for your shortcomings.

            Yours is fear mongering and whattaboutism. The problem we currently face is not someone who is no longer actively in politics, and constantly bringing it up as though dealing with it now is going to make any kind of difference is intellectually dishonest.

            We need to deal with the situation we have now, not what has happened before. Doing otherwise is little more than distraction.

            And as far as my last few comments… perhaps you just make a lot of comments worth replying to? I honestly dont pay that close attention to it.

              The problem we currently face is not someone who is no longer actively in politics

              It’ll be a problem in 2 years when Democrats run an unwinnable candidate like Holocaust Harris again and JD Vance wins the election.

              Would you rather talk about it now or then?

              We need to deal with the situation we have now, not what has happened before.

              “There is nothing to be learned from the past, we must be strictly reactionary.” Truly a liberal approach, I’ll give you that much.

                I do not understand why you are calling “holocaust Harris” someone that wasn’t against selling weapons used by someone else with the explicit intention of doing a genocide (she knew but she was ok with that) BUT you’re NOT doing the same to the other one, which instead is actively planning the final solution???

            Report the stalking. That is what I did for mine. They might get banned from the community, or just have their comments deleted. Some people are just toxic.

        Biden is likely a true believer like most democrats (and republicans for that matter), Trump is the one who needs to be paid off.

        He was a true believer in Zionism. But he was also the largest AIPAC recipient which didn’t hurt.

        He did it for the love of the party

        (He was also not the one in power when this started in the 40s, your point is moot)

          Almost like both parties serve fundamentally the same goals and the working class will be ground underfoot regardless of whether it’s the right boot or the “”“left”“” boot.

        He is just a cynical sell out, he’s an old dog, and rolling over for treats is his go to move, along with barking at the left and prostrating himself before the right. He’s a submissive pee-er too. He was chosen for those known quantities.
