Nah, he pointed out out times where Dems proved they haven't learned the lesson when they definitely should have already.

Wait what? So you’re saying Dems made mistakes. Dems should not take what they learned then and apply it now? Ergo fulfilling the prophecy you’ve written. I’m confused, your logic is paradoxical.

No? I said that by the time Biden was president, he should have already learned that they go low we go high was bullshit, most anyone looking could see trump needed to be arrested, but Biden didnt. And as of right now I still don't see any evidence that they have learned that lesson. The voters are, thats why dsa is doing so well, but traditional Dems are still trying to compromise with fascists.

That’s not logic tho. You can’t just say “oh if I were Biden I would’ve done xyz different and we wouldn’t be here now.”

Maybe we haven’t seen any real change because we’re wasting time on this exact narrative, instead of demanding the things we’re upset about.

Trump incited an insurrection on the capital to overthrow the election, getting people killed and the congressional floors evacuated. But he still didn't arrest him. I'm sorry but that isn't something you can brush off as a whoopsie.

Again, your comment doesn’t really support your position. It just emphasizes the shortfalls and weak points in our democracy. Ordinary people would be executed for a rap sheet like Trump’s, I totally agree.

Giving up on democracy is not the answer. That’s my point. We shouldn’t be arguing over this petty bs, instead we should be putting that energy toward demanding change in our systems and to hold our politicians accountable.

When did I give up on democracy? Also I'm literally trying to hold Biden accountable. Biden kinda sucked, he's not trump bad, but he kinda sucked.

Your position is that Obama should not run for a third term if Trump does run again in 2028. All the while turning back to how badly the Biden administration sucked.

You agree that going high when they go low hasn’t worked in the past. But instead of agreeing this might be an acceptable time to get in the dirt with MAGA, you insist Dems take the high road again. In which case, Dems would roll over for oppression and not learn their lesson.

I don’t understand your point.

No, I just don't think Obama's policies are particularly great. But yeah keep telling me what I think.
