Are people still defending Biden or is his abject failure to prosecute Trump actually universally recognized now, especially as the Epstein files become public, something he failed to do or prosecute the relevant people for their contents?
(Please don’t respond saying the files were “sealed” because as we’re all aware of now sealed files can become unsealed with sufficient effort that didn’t happen, hence the problem)
I’ve been saying this from the beginning, but I was told to shut up and get in line and vote Biden, which I did. And he fucked us. And we need to talk about it so we don’t make the same mistakes again.
If there’s one takeaway about this entire situation, it’s that we need to stop electing old men who would hold the country hostage with their egos as they slowly lose their minds to be President of the United States

Here's me telling people to shut up and learn how our government works. For the record, voting for the Democrats and then spending four years on social media developing resentment and apathy towards them, probably favors the fascists, not democracy.
@HakeemG the constituents of the Democratic Party need to hold a retrospective on the failures of Joe Biden because the party itself failed to do so.
If we don’t recognize the mistakes Biden made, we’re doomed to repeat them.
And to be clear, the consequences of those mistakes are directly responsible for Trump regaining power.
Biden didn't control the Department of Justice, it operates independently from the White House. That separation exists specifically so that presidents cannot use federal law enforcement as a political weapon. That's why we're a democracy and not a tinpot dictatorship.
Criticizing Biden for not prosecuting Trump is essentially asking why he didn't do the exact thing that would have made the prosecution illegitimate.
The framing also rests on a false binary, as if Trump's only two possible outcomes were prison or the presidency. That's absurd.
A prosecution doesn't automatically lead to the White House if it fails, and the absence of a conviction doesn't hand someone the keys to the Oval Office.
Trump ran for president because he chose to run for president. He won because enough voters in enough states picked him.
The legal system and the electoral system are two separate things. Treating them as a single pipeline where one failure inevitably produces the other outcome is just not how any of this works.
Bernie has never been prosecuted and also has never been President, funny how that works.
The claim that Merrick Garland slow walked the prosecution falls apart when you consider what he was actually dealing with.
Prosecuting a former president is not something you rush. It had never been done before in American history. The legal, political, and constitutional questions involved were unprecedented.
