Yeah dude, Biden did this! Lmao





Biden chose Harris, Harris lost to #$%&ing Trump.

The Dems gave the American people a choice and the American people made their choice.

This madness is on them.


This is such a weird take. If Dems win ostensibly the negative consequences of their actions are the Republicans’ fault, and then if Republicans win their actions must be owned by the Dems?

Why the weird causal swap?

The actions of this administration are primarily the responsibility of… this administration and those who supported it.


No no, you're understanding it wrong. Of course if the dems win and then the consequences are their fault. And then if they don't win, we just follow that same logic and... it's the dems fault.

The formula isn't "opposite of who-dun-it", it's "dems always".


Not fielding good candidates for bad reasons and giving the election to @#$%ing Trump is on the Dems.

Forcing grant applicants to include irrelevant DEI language in applications is on the Dems.


How much of the fault for the actions of republicans and trump rests on republicans and trump?

Blaming the loons won't help us make sure they don't get elected again.

Pointing out to the Dems that they really have to fix themselves will.


maybe, but nobody is talking about that

we're talking about the story in the article: republicans totally gutting science funding regardless of presidential candidates or DEI


You were not talking about anything, you only joined to make an incorrect statement.

"We" (as in not you ) were talking about why NSF grants were removed and in some cases that was because they contained totally irrelevant DEI language.

But,sadly, that fact doesn't matter to people who lack reasoning skills.


I think the madness is on the geniuses that voted for Trump and continue to cheer on the insanity every day, and the "moderates" who somehow thought he was the "economy" pick. Less so on Trump himself because he's pretty much just being himself.

The Democrats chose Harris as their candidate because they thought she had the best chance of winning. They might have been right.


You think that of all the American-born citizens who could have stood against Trump, Harris was the best choice?

Just no.


Who would have been your pick?

The best candidate, not the best black, female candidate.

So you can't think of any candidates? Neither can anyone else. They still haven't found a good option for 2028, not for lack of trying.
