Most braindead take. Biden is getting shit done.
Trump is under 91 indictments and was found to be a rapist.
Facilitating a genocide and banning social media apps? You're right, that is shit.
I remember when I was 13.
I don't understand this statement. It seems like you're implying that people grow out of the belief that genocide is bad. If so, fuck you.
You're post just had me remembering that childlike confidence in my opinions I had back when I thought I knew things but actually had no idea about anything, let alone foreign policy.
Well I'm happy to hear you've matured so much in the year and a half since then
I'm not saying they're politically the same, because obviously they're not. Trump being such a danger to American democracy and the health and safety of many Americans is why I'm highlighting this absurdity.
I'm saying if you were in a room talking to either of these octogenarians, you'd probably be uncomfortable handing either of them a loaded gun let alone the nuclear codes and command authority over a military super power.
We shouldn't have to be choosing between two people this old. Age and cognitive decline is an unavoidable fact, but the DNC and raw fear of "changing horses midstream" by democratic voters has us hoping that we'll get an 86 year old leaving office in four years.
Because the stakes are so high and the consequences between Trump and not-Trump are so important, it's insane to be running Biden as the alternative. There basically running at a dead heat right now, and I can't help but think that might no be the case if we weren't running the Crypt Keeper against Cheetolini.
