Or how about listen to your voter base? Biden was looked at as a stand in after his first win. Ppl were not happy to vote for him twice. The DNC had 4 years to look for a viable replacement. Instead of acting like they can decide for us the DNC should of exercised potential replacements. It's what got us Hilary even though she was wildly unpopular and clearly democrats learned fuck all since her campaign.
The DNC think they're king makers in a democracy they claim they want to preserve. And yes I'm voting for anyone over Trump but the DNC should've not pushed their pick and let the primaries play out like the democracy its suppose to be
There wasn't one. It was an utter sham and is one of the things people are frustrated about.
No. People are allowed to voice their frustrations with a geriatric who has proven he's as arrogant as trump. Until facism takes over America, it is literally a right for people to bitch about their leaders. And yes. Biden outright proved he's as arrogant as Trump when during an interview he answer the question "If you stay on and don't give the reigns to someone else and you lose the election to Donald Trump, how will you feel?" and Biden said he'd feel great as long as he did his best because that's what counts. Either he's lost his mind or he's an arrogant douchebag. It is not just appropriate but required to talk about how he is unfit for the job.
This is ridiculous.
Edit: I went and grabbed the exact quote I was thinking of that proves Biden is putting himself before the country.
G. Stephanopoulos - If you stay in and Trump is elected and everything you're warning about comes to pass, how will you feel in January?
J. Biden - I feel as long as I gave it my all and I did the goodest job I know I can do that's what this is about
NO THE FUCK IT ISN'T JOE.
This is about the future of DEMOCRACY. You just watched the Supreme Court appoint you a king and are like "Yeah but I gotta do the goodest job I know I can do" in a quote that sounds Trump-level failure on grasping the English language? Fuck off. Get the hell out of the way and let someone step in who knows what the fuck they're doing and is someone people can rally around.
I’ve heard the same shit for years.
I’ll hear it in 4 more years when instead of actually giving us healthcare we are sending billions for Israel to kill Palestinian children and that generic republican president will make a full dictatorship day 1 and the whole country is doomed and blah blah blah.
Get a new script
Specifically every election year since 1992 if not longer
The good news is you won't.
The bad news is that you won't because the DNC will have finally pissed away democracy with their insistence that every election is 1992 and their preferred candidates are all Bill Clinton.
They literally did. In their primary. Which overwhelmingly voted for Biden. Anybody could have run, some people did, none of them held a candle to Biden's numbers.
How many primary debates did the DNC hold this year?
