This going to backfire.
Biden was just telling reporters that the blame for the genocide of Palestinians is on Mexico not being a good neighbor to Palestine and keeping their border closed.
This is the danger of ignoring any issues a Dem candidate has because republicans are worse. Instead of this shit only hurting them, it hurts both parties and cancels out to non engaged possible voters.
There's not even a benefit here. Even if a shittier Dem wins because they're against trump, they're still not going to be the best president. We need to do more than slowly down how worse things get. There's so many issues we needed to address decades ago. We can't keep putting it off forever. We need to actually make things better.
If anything we should use rightwing extremists like trump as rationale to move further left. Not following them into crazy town chasing butterflies
Do you mean when he was talking about negotiating with Sisi about opening the Gaza border crossing for humanitarian aid and accidentally said "Mexico"?
Did you really fail to understand what was clearly said because one word was wrong? Are you suffering from dementia?
Acting like Joe Biden is fully functional and coherent is just as delusional as still thinking trump won the election. He literally just had an investigation dismissed because he was so old and forgetful. I'm still going to vote for him because his opponent is a literal fascist, but I'm not going to pretend like he isn't an absolute shit candidate.
Well, he had the investigation dismissed because there was nothing there. Your point about not just sweeping his age under the rug stands. As it does for his dementia ridden opponent.
The special council literally said there was likely wrongdoing but chose not to press charges because “Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”
Trump is literally a fascist who tried to stage a coup, but that doesn't make Biden not senile.
LOL, what a load of crap that was. If there was a case, they'd prosecute. Don't let yourself be fooled by the strikingly unprofessional opinions thrown in by that trump appointee.
Mate, it ain't a one time thing...
Acting like it only convinces the people you're talking to that you lie about stuff, or believe the wild claims that whenever you're not looking at Biden he magically transforms into a competent energetic young man.
Either way, you're not convincing anyone to vote Biden after doing that.
Maybe I'm just bad at communicating too. You know who's good at it?
Jon Stewart

Love Jon Stewart. You two are not communicating the same point.
I don't think most people that watched the first episode would agree with you
But definitely not the second one where he talked about the blowback from the first...
Anectodal counter: watched first episode, agree with the other guy
Oh hey look. It's @shitonbiden@trump.supporter chiming in anytime there's a post that involves Biden at all.
I don't believe you. He would never call the genocide that's been happening in Palestine a genocide
I'm far more worried about the Russian attempted genocide in Ukraine myself, though both are shitty.
Most of the world supports the victims of that conflict, while in this one the "international community" either lines up to support the perpetrator or stands by doing nothing. Number of dead civilians and children alone should be enough to tell you this comparison is ill advised at best and wilfully ignorant at worse.
Your view of that conflict is heart killing and painful. It's too bad you're as you are.
Sorry for the booboo. You'll live. Unlike the more than 10000 Palestinian children since October that you and your kind heart are not as concerned about
It needs to be braced with reasons to vote for Biden.
They have to do both, attack Trump and explain why Biden.
Remember “Trump Bad” is not a reason to vote for Biden. It’s a reason to not vote for Trump.
Yep, and when less people vote, republicans win.
We're better off with younger candidates that energize voters. Not using the second oldest person to run for president as an excuse to run the oldest.
The democratic party just reminds me of a pro athlete that bets on his team to win, but not cover the spread.
So they're constantly trying to win, but only by a razor thin margin.
