We never liked him to begin with.

I find it strange that people would admit they are so stuck in the us vs them mentality that they would support people they knew were not qualified.

Biden was more than qualified at the beginning of his presidency, but his proposed policies sucked and many of his implemented policies still do suck many ways.

But it's not Biden saying immigrants are poisoning the blood of our country and echoing Hitler nor threatening to be a dictator for any amount of time. The Us v Them mentality doesn't make a pragmatic choice to preserve America's foundational institution, a representative republic; rather, it rationalizes support for a wannabe dictator. It's the ultimate identity politics.

The Man couldn't carry a conversation in a bag even then.

Anyone else would've been put into a care home.

Mitch "The Freeze" McConnell is still not in a care home...and between him and Biden...McConnell definitely needs it more.

You have grossly misread the situation. We unfortunately have a two party system, meaning it is inherently an evil vs lesser evil system, it's inherently an us vs them system.

None of the candidates are qualified or good. So at the bare minimum I'm going to vote for the one that isn't parroting Hitler.

Then why did you vote for Biden?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Because the options were evil vs lesser evil.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Because we couldn't vote for Bernie.

In Philadelphia, Pru Carmichael isn’t even convinced this race matters.

If there was an "Ig Pulitzer" for the biggest instance of journalistic malpractice in any given year, this sentence would be a pretty strong contender.

If nothing else people need to vote for Biden because he is the guy running against racist xenophobic dictator wanna-be Trump. Often elections are picking the least bad candidate. Sorry but that's reality.

For comparison, here is Trump:

"[Migrants are] poisoning the blood of our country"

From Mein Kampf:

"All great cultures of the past perished only because the originally creative race died out from blood poisoning."

Yet some think Biden is the worst of the two options we have.

Biden is a known racist. I’ll vote for trump over Biden. Biden keeps focusing on the wrong things.

I'm sure Biden was more racist in the past. They were both raised in generally racist generations. Biden is at least trying to evolve to modern social standards.
