Yeah. This is the pardon that is going to break the country, not the fact that individual’s who received a pardon from Trump’s first term and now being nominated to his cabinet.

Neither of those things are going to break the country. It’s a matter of priorities. Dems sell themselves as the adults in the room who are going to fight against fascism. And this is what Biden is doing instead.

There was a great episode of the daily show with Jon recently after the election. Basically his point was the democrats keep doing things because of “norms” or “tradition” while the republicans have completely thrown both out the window to win. It’s time for the democrats to start doing the same. Taking the political high ground for “norms” and “traditions” is causing their constituents to suffer. It’s clear that the norms politicians have followed for the past 250 years are not rule, law or enforceable. The dems need to realize what they are fighting against and step up to the battlefield in which they find themselves, then after regaining power they need to code these previous norms into law with actual consequences for ignoring them.

Here is the clip: (it’s about 1//2 through, but the whole thing is worth watching)

Democrats won't abandon norms and traditions, because they play a good cop to Republicans' bad cop. They are all in one big club and you aren't in it.

My brother in christ that is what this meme is saying. When constituents are crying out for help, the Dems tell us "Biden must not stoop to fascism". I remember liberal lemmyposters using that very argument quite recently. Biden finally decides to abuse his executive power after years of telling us "The D's are better than that" and it's for personal gain. THAT'S THE JOKE

Fuck me running... here you be defending that choice. Why?

Why?? It's abundantly clear he will never use it for you or me.
