I went to a "No Tyrants (Kings)" thing, and maybe it was just my particular event, but it mostly made me bitter and resentful.

@20002ist if that was the best anyone could do, then we need to tear down the whole legal system and start from scratch, because it simply doesn't work. I prefer to believe more determined people with different values could make it work, but maybe not.
@peter It is fair to point out that SCOTUS’s fucking through-the-lookingglass opinion on presidential immunity is an important consideration.
Did I mention my thoughts on Mitch McConnell?

@peter Risky though it be for me to disagree publicly with one of my instance’s admins, but “fucked everything up” seems like a wild overstatement. Should Biden have withdrawn much earlier from seeking re-election? Oh, yeah. Are there things I wish he had pushed harder for, like packing the Court or granting DC statehood? Yup. Do I hate that he failed to recognize and call out Israel’s genocide for what it is? You bet.

"Do I hate that he failed to recognize and call out Israel’s genocide for what it is?"
LolIsrael's genocide in Gaza was only possible with Biden's willful stupidity (at best.) He overrode his own agencies to force them to operate illegally and continue providing arms for genocide. He forced them to continue even when top people resigned from his agencies because they couldn't stand assisting with a genocide.
And Democrats want to say he had to "let" people die because it would hurt his election chances to stand up to Israel, lol.
AIPAC has got them good -
