So that's where The Rock's the both sides / no Biden came from.
Makes a lot of sense. The Pebble is such spineless bitch.
Yeah that's why I got pissed that the Rock was brought in to WrestleMania. How are you gonna fight off the stink of Vince McMahon, by bringing in one of his best friends and biggest stooges? The Rock doesn't care that McMahon is a rapist, he'll take a bullet for him
Ugh I expect this out of the Rock, had higher hopes for Cena though
Cena who openly apologised in Mandarin to the Chinese government for the crime of recognising Taiwan? That John Cena?
That’s definitely not cool but he still worked for Vince at the time so I gave him the benefit of the doubt of just doing what he was told for his job, again that doesn’t make it right but it’s still different. Because now he ain’t beholden to Vince or the WWE if he doesn’t want to be, both are choices and one could’ve potentially been by compulsion. When you do 300+ make a wishes and I give you one mulligan on possibly not being a piece of shit
Well Cena has defended Vince every time he's been charged with rape or sexual assault. He's a piece of shit.
You are looking too much in to it. The rock is extremely rich and those people tend to vote republican 99% of the time.
What?
All he said was that hes can't endorse him again like he did in 2020...
He said he had friends who support Biden and trump, but then clarified he had friends who vote Democrat, but none of them were really fans of Biden.
Which is valid. There's not many people hyped to vote Biden because of Biden, they're voting D despite Biden because trump is worse.
Which is an accurate representation across a lot of demographics.
People don't really like Biden, which above all else is what makes him a bad candidate. Just like Hillary.
If Biden was a good candidate, it wouldn't have taken him 40 years to win his first Presidential primary.
Since when do you have to be a good candidate to become president of the united states?
I think you're confused...
Pretty much the only way to qualify being a good candidate is winning elections.
And in our system it's just two candidates. So sometimes it's two good ones, sometimes it's two bad ones. Very rarely it's one of each and a landslide victory.
A good candidate gets people to vote for them. A bad candidate doesn't. But if they're bad enough, people vote against them.
But if both parties run candidates bad enough that people vote against them, the Republicans usually win.
By playing their game and compromising with a bad candidate who isn't as terrible as Republicans, we're just hurting our chances.
We need a 2008 Obama candidate and trump wouldn't stand a chance in hell. Any progressive leaning Dem under 45 could moonwalk into the White House and accomplish anything Biden manages but without the progenocide shit.
Hell, I think Pete would be a much worse president, but he's 100 times the candidate as Biden and could easily beat trump. Besides Hillary I'm struggling to find a big name Dem who would do worse than Biden, maybe Manchin or Pelosi?
I would vote for Soros just to own the dumb, but he’d probably be a terrible candidate.
He's also a decade older than Biden.
