Oh well that's easy:

They had connections.

Networking is a bitch.

More like "here, you can keep your current guy who should have retired 20 years ago, or you can hire this ex employee who set fire to the lobby last time he was here".

Pretty realistic imo. You just described the last five companies I worked at.

Keep in mind both of the user captured in the screenshot are paying X/Twitter users

I mean in terms of what he's actually achieved he probably the best president we've had in my lifetime, and considering his lack of control in the houses, that's pretty big.

And, this is despite a senate where Sinema and Manchin supposely give democrats a razor slim majority, but in reality they block almost everything. And, despite a congress that is currently republican controlled and block even the things their constituents want because they don't want to let Biden have a win.

In what way (other than Gaza) is he not doing a good job?

Are we going to pretend that working Americans haven't been struggling since mid 1980 at the very least.

It takes seconds to shatter a vase, and hours to glue it back together. That’s the difference.

As an outsider watching US Politics in abject horror - this pervasive both-sides-bad arguement is utter bullshit.

Hillary Clinton was an imperfect candidate, but she would not have appointed three bat-shit crazy judges to the Supreme Court who would the. Go onto gutting almost a century’s worth of civil and environmental rights.

Complaining that Dems aren’t doing enough is media spin, owned and paid for by Billionaires and the corporations they control. A lot of good work gets done that you don’t hear about, because if you did - you’d actually be incentivised to vote for Dems, and the 0.1%’ simply can’t have that.

This upcoming election is without hyperbole the most important since the US’s founding - this is your Fall of Rome moment. Trump needs to be defeated in order for your nation to continue to exist in any manner that you could continue to recognise. The very ideals of the Constitution- life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness - are at stake.

So make sure you get out and vote, as this could very well be your last opportunity to do so while it still matters.

And if you manage to do the right thing - get involved with politics on your local level, and participate in the primaries. Help pick the candidates that should run, who share your agenda - but when it comes to the general elections, vote against those who share none of your values.

There’s a saying that Democrats need to fall in love with a candidate, while Republicans fall in line. You need to fight them on their terms, the high moral ground is built on sandy foundations and your opponent is armed with shovels and an intent on seeing you destroyed.

Because the democracy is a farce. The parties control their primary elections and can rig them however they want. The US legalized bribery with Citizens United and again last week with Snyder v. United States.

The funny thing is that Americans do want socialism, they just don't want the word socialism as they've been told their entire lives that's the enemy
