In his farewell address, #Biden calls for:

An end to dark money

18 year term limit on Supreme Court Justices and ethics reform

A ban on stock trading in Congress

Amending the Constitution to say no president is immune from crimes committed in office

I wish he had spent political capital on those topics at the beginning of his term, But this is all water under the bridge now

He tried. He’s talked about some of these, but didn’t have the votes.

The Democrats are all too Passive and incompetent. The only thing that they’ve demonstrated the capacity for is playing hardball with progressive like AOC.

Individuals that were concerned about the future of America should not have been striving to crush the progressive end of the party. Yeah, and I would point out that somebody like Biden could’ve played a central role in that.

Because now any of us in the US have to contemplate running for our lives

You could repeat that to #Starmer in the UK who has followed the identical playbook, targeting environmentalists, anti-genocide activists, and social democrats - while adopting #Tory policy across the estate (and enthusiastically arming the genocide of course).

The failure - the absolute failure - of centrist parties across the world to stop the rise of fascism, while attacking social democracy at every turn sits with them and them alone.

Absolutely. The NeoLibs have failed us completely. In the UK we have our Health MInister, Wes Streeeting, berating the 'left' (read anyone with half a brain) for insisting the NHS should get back to it's mandate of being public, not privatised - while accepting cash from American health insurers.

You couldn't make it up.

We really see the grotesque evil of the Biden regime in the US now as he leaves and talks this good story - having done nothing to date.
