    Seeing this SICK BURNS! in 2025 as I remember Biden re-upping and expanding SpaceX contracts in 2024.

    Liberals will post this EPIC SLAM WITH FACTS AND LOGIC on Facebook, then roll their eyes and tell the stupid Leftist Tankies to go sit at the kids table when you ask why the fuck prior administrations were bloating a fascist’s bank accounts during the four years prior.

      Are you ok? Literally most of the people who are pissed at Musk being a welfar queen were just as pissed at Biden for being a weak centrist about the whole thing. Anyone even slightly to the left has been going after Elon for years.

      That country has next to zero nuance available come election day. You can’t just say everyone who’s against the obvious fascist was therefore all-in on Biden. If they had a better option they would have taken it. Well, I suppose you can say that stuff if you aren’t paying attention or acting in good faith.

        If I had a dime for every 2-pt font “You fucking leftist idiots don’t know what Biden’s done for you, here’s a big list!!! He’s the best progressive since FDR!!!” posts I’ve seen in the last year, I’d be clinking glasses with Warren Buffet.

        You can’t just say everyone who’s against the obvious fascist was therefore all-in on Biden.

        Biden’s not against the obvious fascists. That’s the primary critique of his administration. He wrapped himself in the language of liberalism while funneling enormous fortunes into the pockets of the far-right through government contracts and public-private partnerships.

        Well, I suppose you can say that stuff if you aren’t paying attention or acting in good faith.

        Acting In Good Faith would mean prosecuting people like Tulsi Gabbard, Devin Nunes, Jared Kushner, and Steven Miller for espionage, divorcing the Treasury from far-right plutocrats like Musk and Bezos, and downsizing government departments that have been co-opted by extremists.

        Instead of using the authority of the federal government when he had them, he dumped the powers of the presidency directly into the lap of a known asset of foreign powers.

          I think you’ve completely confused the Dems and the people who vote for them because they have no other choice.

        The Democratic Party is flush with them. Bloomberg hosted Bush Jr in NYC for the 2004 RNC and now he’s one of the Dems’ most mega of donors. Neocons like Bill Kristol and the Cheneys have been getting dumped over the line by disaffected Republicans for the last decade. Candidates like Charlie Crist and Lincoln Chafe have been fleeing to the Dems in order to escape contested Republican primaries.

        Appealing to moderate Republicans is also a great way to fundraise. Lots of wealthy midwesterners and coastal small business tyrants that love neoliberalism as economic policy and just hate the Wokeness that comes along with it.

          Those are all wildly unpopular people with all but the wealthy donor class. They are all ghouls who Democrats hated 20 years ago, and trying to emulate them today is when they keep getting shit on in elections. No one wants a Diet Republican Party. They want the real deal or progressivism.

            The problem with the Trillionaire Class is that one trillionaire carries the weight of a million millionaires.

            Wealthy donors carry so much more weight than rank-and-file voters. And if you don’t support the donor pick, you must be a MAGA sympathist.
