You get what you vote for

I remember hearing how Truman had a "the buck stops here" sign on his desk. One is very hard pressed to find that kind of accountability and ownership anywhere in today's world, especially among executive leadership, be it corporate or political.

i don't think brandon remembers much

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

Yeah, but he was old and didn't rape anyone or commit any felonies, and that just isn't acceptable in America.

FTFY: Remember when the president didn't get into schoolgirls ~~spats~~?

I mean, Epstein...

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 2 points 13 hours ago

Man I thought you were going a different direction with that, but I'm pretty sure it's all of them.

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No, im not old enough to remember the Carter administration.

Not yo say he was good. He did some horrid shit, but he's the one us president I'd be genuinely shocked to find was a pedophile.

[–] QuoVadisHomines@sh.itjust.works 2 points 21 hours ago (17 children)

It would be odd for most to be pedophiles because sexual attraction to children is incredibly uncommon.

I've only lived through Bush, Obama, Biden, and Trump so I cant relate.

[–] pneumatron@sh.itjust.works 3 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Non American here, but the both sides schtick really really doesn't apply to Obama or Biden here. Definitely not internationally at least. And likely not domestically either.

Isn't it tiring to always be trying to apply that bullshit mental gymnastics to the democrats? We have a phrase for this in Spanish, "pena ajena". It means I feel embarrassed for you. That's the exact vibe for this.

[–] saruwatarikooji@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

They try to apply it to Biden because he acts a little weird around kids. The worst was when he appeared to be sniffing a young girl. It was weird for sure but I've known a lot of elderly to do it. Apparently after a certain age it's common for young kids to smell really good to the elderly.

Obama really doesn't have any kind of scandals. After Clinton and Bush it was quite refreshing to not hear much of anything about our president.

You can certainly argue that the over-familiarity and inappropriateness are Biden's particular innocent character quirks. But I don't think these are common among the elderly.

[–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 13 hours ago

Ive never seen Bernie Sanders do that and I've certainly never personally seen any elderly people do that irl. Also Obama was a war criminal and despite having a Congressional majority did almost nothing with it.

[–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone -1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

The hell do you mean? Obama was a war criminal and Biden funded genocide. This concept may be foreign to you since you probrally live in a country witha proper left wing party but thats not America. In America the two parties are almost identical except one looks pretty. They're both ran by Capitalists who take turns extorting and profiting off the backs of the working class and the exploitation of the global south. So maybe don't make sweeping comments like that about a country you clearly dont understand.

[–] pneumatron@sh.itjust.works 2 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

I live in America just not in the USA any more. Every POTUS has been a war criminal. And maybe try to understand the context of the post before commenting. You don't know anything about me so maybe don't pretend to know things you clearly don't have any clue about

I mean, it was only like 6 months ago lol

Though it feels like 60 years.

[–] WereHacker@lemmy.ml 30 points 1 day ago (7 children)

I honestly can't remember... Isn't every proxy war just this but with guns and the blood of brown people?

[–] QuoVadisHomines@sh.itjust.works 4 points 21 hours ago

No, sometimes they are from East Asian countries.

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Poor white people too, gotta keep those recruitment numbers up somehow. Promise the world and hope they die so you don't have to pay out.

Poverty draft! Fuck yeah!

[–] Kidplayer_666@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago

Ofc he did, don’t you remember Obama writing diss tracks about Osama

[–] Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Public spats you mean..100% chance every us president has done this, you just never saw the.

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It sounds like you mean "private" ones then:-)
