"Today, an oligarchy is taking shape in America of extreme wealth, power and influence that literally threatens our entire democracy
Taking shape? Like it’s new? Like it’s only now just emerging? Jesus Christ, Biden…
Fucking neoliberal trash.
Guess you shoulda done something about that Joe. Like say, when you were president?
“Oh hey guys there’s an oligarchy, sorry I didn’t do anything about it or say something earlier, peace out yall”
I can’t blame him. When my shift ends it’s somebody else’s problem.
Especially if your shift ends and you should have been retired nearly 20 years ago.
Yah except it was by choice he didn’t retire sooner
IBGYBG: Motto of the leadership of the Democratic Party
Man worth 10 million dollars warns of rule by the rich.
I guess he would know.
(With all due acknowledgement that 10 million is chump change for the likes of Elan and Musky)
He’s a guy that spent his entire career setting us up for this…
Dude 10 mil is like LA upper middle class
I’m pretty sure it still puts him in the top 5% of our population by net worth
Hence “with all due acknowledgement” because I understand that 10 mil is nothing, comparatively.
But I also understand that, to the Amazon warehouse worker with a net worth of a few thousand, or the disabled person who isn’t allowed to have a net worth greater than 2 thousand, 10 mil is a a fuck ton of money. You know, comparatively.
Y’all mfs are in the thousands? I can’t save more than 500 bucks without the universe creating that exact amount in a surprise expense as soon as I’ve saved it.
“Today, an oligarchy is taking shape in America of extreme wealth, power and influence that threatens our entire democracy, our basic rights, the freedoms and the fair shot for everyone to get ahead,” Biden said.
You could have spoken up about this and done something about it over the last 4 years buddy.
It’s only an oligarchy bc he lost
He said democracy was at stake more times than I can count. But he was met with laughter, old man jokes, humiliation, claims of hyperbole and fear mongering, and takes like this from media:

But eggs went up 25¢ so Hitler.
I mean he should’ve put his money where his mouth was in Trump’s prosecution. The fact that Trump is walking free right now is unequivocally the fault of Biden and Garland.
Yup. That’s the job.
Well at least he’s saying it. Hopefully that reflects a renewed interest in reform, but I’m not going to hold my breath.
My guess is analysts blame the misinformation campaign run against him and Kamala and are going to try and shift the message, 12 years too late. Hopefully.
Yeah, thanks for not doing anything about it and instead just coast for the last 2 fucking months. Super helpful.
It’d be much better for him to just stay quiet and fade away into obscurity. Every word out of his mouth since that absurd debate has hurt him, his party, and the country at large. His legacy will not be what he hopes.
Biden may not be super-wealthy, but his presidency is a reflection of our country’s political stagnation. And while he’s no oligarch, he’s certainly the poster boy for elite entitlement to power.
Just a reminder, only a few days ago, Biden still said he would have beaten Trump. This man is not living in reality anymore.
Super-wealthy? No. Still wealthy. Worth $10 million, plus all of the government benefits.
Oh damn, I didn’t realize he was that wealthy. Should’ve looked it up. All the more reason he should have retired ages ago.
To be fair, when he was a senator, he was the lowest paid one iirc. Or at least close to it. Being VP must have changed all that.
I can honestly say I have never given less of a fuck about what a president has had to say about his legacy.
Give it 4 years
You’re more optimistic than I am because I don’t think there’s going to be a non-Russian style election in four years.
All this hate is neat. Hey, is the armchair comfy?
Lol he’s a part of it
he had most opportunity do something about about it and did absolutely nothing to say the country and its people.
He could have put them all in gitmo or worse as an official act for security reasons including the illegitimate supreme Court members and it would have been totally legal,per the courts ruling
Asshole.
Biden: beware of oligarchy
Losers who didn’t vote for him or Kamala: STFU OLD MAN
I certainly did vote for him and Harris.
And still say STFU OLD MAN.I’m also donating monthly, to Represent.Us and The Forward Party.
