Biden warns of ultra-wealthy 'oligarchy' threatening US democracy in farewell address to the nation
US President Joe Biden used his farewell address to the nation to deliver stark warnings about an “oligarchy” of ultra-wealthy individuals and a “tech-industrial complex” that infringes on Americans’ rights and threatens the future of democracy in the nation.
The whole speech was here's everything I was aware of but didn't address
"Here's all the cool stuff we politicians can do. Suck it. Bye!"
This was Biden announcing to his rich donors that he followed through on his promise that "nothing will fundamentally change"
If Biden really was worried about democracy he had 6 months of Roberts approved blanket immunity to actually do something about it.
Shame he didn't do anything about it while he had the chance. What is it with us presidents and doing nothing about the important issues, and only bringing them up on their last day.
Just a heavily self propagandized corporate dictatorship, doing corporate dictatorship things, because it's a corporate dictatorship.
No politician can topple the power of hundreds of corporations, and the armies they employ, backed by trillions of dollars in capital... no matter how hard they want to, even if they wanted to. All they can do is virtue signal.
"And I did nothing about it. Worse, I helped get more into office!"
We didn't listen to Eisenhower; I don't think we're going to listen to Biden.
Eisenhower, like Biden, actually helped create the problem.
Biden could have, and should have, gone hard against Trump and his fellow insurrectionists.
Instead he chose to appoint Merrick Garland, a man whose legacy was turning a blind eye to Timothy McVeigh's accomplices in the wider Militia Movement.
We're all trying to find the guy who did this.
