        The word you’re looking for is “complicit”

        Back when the left actually existed, before 80 years of violent worldwide political suppression, we called people like the DNC “collaborators”.

    I know it’s sort of trite, but every time I see one of these stories, it reminds me of how difficult it was to convince my dad to stop driving.

    From the most recent pics and clips of him in the media: He ist dying. Why isn’t anybody else seeing this? His skin is yellowish and spans over the bones in his face, he can hardly walk, he isn’t really coherent. I really would not be surprised if he doesn’t even make it to the presidential election.

    The writing has been on the wall for months. If his debate performance was regarded as warmly as his last SoTU we wouldn’t need to have this discussion but when a large portion of your base is abandoning an incumbent, you need to read the room.

    I feel angry and betrayed that the guy who got elected by heavily implying he’d be a one term “caretaker” president went and used the power we gave him to help slaughter and starve a bunch of innocent men, women and children and is now clinging to power in the face of record unpopularity and is costing us our democracy.

    The narcissistic entitlement of this man is quite literally Trump-like in its scale. Acting like a child having his toy taken away.

    No one cares that you spent your whole life chasing the presidency, Joe. You’re unpopular and your legacy will be that of the guy who funded one of the most egregious genocides of this century.
