“We are the first generation in half a century to give our daughters a country with fewer rights than we had,” she tells the Women for Biden crowd a few minutes later. “Book bans. Voting laws gutted. Court decisions that strip away our most basic freedoms. But circumstance is not destiny.” The women here are fighting mad.

Power dynamics.

[-] [email protected] 34 points 2 days ago

There’s a version of political power that operates the way a motorcade does—slicing through empty roads, flouting rules, making regular folks wait behind barricades. And there’s a version of political power as Jill Biden embodies it, and as she expressed it at the Women for Biden event in Bloomington. This is power from the ground up, built on listening and coalition building. “They underestimate our power because they don’t understand it,” the first lady told the crowd. “They see our empathy and compassion as a vulnerability. But we know they’re what give us the clarity to fight for what’s right.” And in so doing, chip away at the hard problems. That’s the gig. Negotiate, reconsider your assumptions, and sometimes, agree to disagree, agree to lose. Only a tyrant would say otherwise.

In this case: listening, ignoring what everyone around you is saying, and losing.

Power is when you constantly give your enemies everything they ask for without receiving anything in return

How she can honestly think that after having Obama make all the other candidates drop out during the 2020 primary, is black-pilling me

Folks, you need to listen up and build a coalition behind Joe, otherwise we're going to have a problem obama-drone

Or you know in the case of the Democrats, always

Hey lady, your fucking husband was overseeing all that shit.

Well if the rumors are true she's Nancy Reaganing it.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago

Oh, lol, right. The dementia. Not the other thing Nancy Reagan was famous for.

There's a bunch of them, which were you thinking of in particular?

"The throat faded " would be my guess

Throat GOAT. rat-salute

Does she have an astrologer too?

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Probably not but we'll find out what quirky things she's into eventually. My bet is she's trying to be the girlbossceo type not an "America's mom" like Nancy.

The Boys has completely cooked my brain. Everytime I see something like this it feels so surreal.

Like I'm waiting to see a brought to you by Vought™ in these publications.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Worse, it's brought to you by BlackRock and Lockheed Martin

But circumstance is not destiny

So maybe ditch the corpse that's been getting Weekend@Bernie's'd most hours of the day for the last few years?

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
