Your other option is a equally old man, hopped up on Sudafed, who lost his hospital privileges just 4 years ago because his mortality rate was insanely high, and no one would give him malpractice insurance, he had his medical license pulled in at least two states, and it's suspected he sold illegally harvested organs to a group of rich people who wanted to eat them. He's been legally found responsible for rape he's committed in civil court, and he was found guilty in criminal court of dozens of felonies related to him stealing hospital records when he lost his license and privileges and may or may not have sold them to the last people you'd ever want to have access to them. He's wearing a lobster bib and licks his lips as he says ''only I have the skill to save you, I don't even want to, but I will... '' He also forwards that everything is falling to ruin, and nothing is good now, and people are dying from surgeries left and right, and the people who died on his surgeries were fake deaths orcastrated by invisible foes only he can see or stop, so it was never his fault all those people died on his watch.

How about if you asked him if he felt up to it and he said 'Don't worry, I'm going to do the goodest job I can!"

Like Ralph Wiggum pretending to be Dr. Nick, jesus christ our country is fucked.

Meanwhile the other doctor is openly stating he won't even try to save you if you aren't rich/white

Still better than Trump, anything is better than Trump.

Is that ok? No. Is this a "you you want one bullet in the head or two bullets?" Yeah, pretty much though the the two bullets will first shoot you in the balls for fun. Chose one bullet, please

I think we need to be honest about the actual context and meaning. We've seen what happens when presidents lose the election and refuse to concede. It happened with Bush Jr, and it happened with Trump. When Joe tells us that he wouldn't do what they did, we shouldn't be upset at his honesty. We should be happy that he's not evil.

I'm so tired of people trying to get famous by dunking on Biden.

Is he old? Yes. Out of touch? Yes. Does he misspeak? Frequently. Is he publicly supporting Israel while Netanyahu engages in human rights atrocities and crimes against humanity? Also yes. Is Biden a centrist oligarch who represents a status quo continuation of the devout capitalist policies that are rapidly destroying the world? Sure.

But he's still better than Trump. And he's the best chance we have at defeating Trump. America can survive a second Biden presidency. We will have a lot of work to do, but it will be worth doing. The USA will not survive another Trump presidency. It will be the end of the experiment, and the beginning of a whole new nightmare.

So Biden must win.

To that end, I have a modest proposal for the armchair pundits on Xitter, all the comics and authors and panelists hoping to make it to the next cable news roundtable as a contributor. When Biden does the next stupid thing, makes the next gaffe, fucks up again (Jesus fuck, did he say he's a minority woman?), whatever, whenever you come up with that perfect burn, the clever observation that is going to go viral and get eyes on your name, feel free to share it. Biden is not King, regardless of what the SCOTUS* would have us believe, so he is not immune to criticism. But when you post it, include the addendum "But I'm still voting for him, because Trump would be worse." Make it part of your signature, or shorten it to BISVFH to conserve characters.

Doing this will help all the rest of us reading your comments, so we don't feel the need to explain to you why you should still vote for Biden. It will also help us more quickly identify the foreign agents and online trolls who exist to stir up discord and assist Trump.

Biden sucks. He really does. But I'm still voting for him, because Trump would be worse.

A better comparison would be if the old doctor wouldn’t perform the surgery himself, but a team of highly skilled, younger doctors.

[–] gjoel@programming.dev 6 points 1 month ago (3 children)

First of all, what in the blazes is your doctor doing in surgery?

But let's assume he's also a surgeon.... That's honestly probably the healthiest point of view for a surgeon. Surgeons tend to lose people and it can be devastating if they take it personally. An 81 year old surgeon might have come to terms with it, so as long as he still does his absolute best, why does his relationship to the worst part of his job matter?

Man wtf else is he supposed to do? Stage a coup? Refuse to leave office? You can pretend to care all you want, but you are very transparent.
