    Yes the donors are concerned about biden-leftist revolutionary proposals. It has nothing to do with the fact he has not been cognitively fit for years

    alright, I’ll bite. What is it? Why can’t it start now, or have been mentioned in the last 4 years?

      Well see it can’t start now because then how would he get you to vote for him, and then it can’t start next term because well we just have other fiscal responsibilities first. Maybe in 8 years we can try again

      Because he won’t get elected for a second term.

      That way he can safely do nothing his second term without worrying about reelection.

      It’s so simple.

        It’s too bad the Democratic Party doesn’t have a Party Whip whose job it is to force legislators to follow the party line or face consequences. Oh, they do, but they only use it on the progressive wing because the DNC doesn’t want to do anything to upset the donor class?

        Ya it’s so weird how there’s always just one or two darn senators that stop all the good things that the Democrats totally definitely want to do. So weird that it keeps happening.

        Sinema and Machin killed a lot of his ideas in the Senate.

        The way Obama fucked up his super majorities by letting f-ing Joe Lieberman filibuster the public option is a real shame.

          "We must maintain at all times 50% of the house minimum, 60% of the senate minimum, actually make it 62% to compensate for democrats who aren’t apparently actually democrats, and the presidency.

          And even if we get some laws passed despite gerrymandered representative districts and the entire existence of THE SENATE as a concept, well, SCOTUS will just wand-waive away all of that legislation, agreed upon by about 60% of the legislature and the president.

          What can we do about SCOTUS? Nothing. That would be anti institutional!

          What can we do about the existence of the senate and states which were designed to be and objectively are anti democratic in nature? Nothing. Do you not respect the constitution and institutions!?"

        Oh no did mean old Sinema and Manchin stop all the good stuff? Wow how inconvenient! So terrible! And the parliamentarian! Don’t get me started on the parliamentarian! Old Joe really does want to do good, but he’s just completely powerless due to these two incredibly inconvenient people that just started kicking up trouble. Well nothing we can do but increase cops budgets by billions, arm Nazis, ban cheap solar and EVs, expand fracking and fund genocide. Wish it could be otherwise but that’s just how it is due to Sinema and Manchin and that mean old parliamentarian. Poor Joe

        it’s because he doesn’t have a plan and doesn’t want to. The closest thing they’ll ever see to a tax increase from him is him begging for donations

        Sure he can, the powers of the presidency are whatever the president feels like they are. He could have Trump, any intransigent Congress members, and the entire Supreme Court executed by drone strike if he wanted to.

        Libs will simultaneously hold the following opinions:

        “Trump will destroy democracy by welding the powerful tools he has as president”

        “Biden really can’t do all the things he promised because the president actually isn’t that powerful”

        In England, at this day, if elections were open to all classes of people, the property of the landed proprietors would be insecure. An agrarian law would soon take place. If these observations be just, our government ought to secure the permanent interests of the country against innovation. Landholders ought to have a share in the government, to support these invaluable interests and to balance and check the other. They ought to be so constituted as to protect the minority of the opulent against the majority. The senate, therefore, ought to be this body; and to answer these purposes, they ought to have permanency and stability.

        —James Madison

    Okay so, let’s assume this meme is reflecting reality, Biden really wants to stick it to the ownership class and said owner billionaires are engineering the calls to get him to step down in order to prevent that. Wouldn’t that indicate said billionaires have captured the party and twisted it to their will? Wouldn’t that mean that an alternative political structure to the Democrats is necessary, or at least that a revolt is needed among the rank and file democrat voters to wrestle power back from the donors that would rather have Trump than see their tax rates go up by any amount?

    I mean…they’re not wrong; the average democrat couldn’t care less about the mass slaughter of people in the global South when their favorite politician tells them it’s okay. The idea that democrats suddenly, out of nowhere and for once in their lives began caring about greenlit genocide is patently absurd.
