Seriously, Joe, do you not know the stakes? "Sure, America fell to fascism, but I tried my best." For fucks sake, Trump has straight up said he was going to be a dictator, and the Supreme Court will back him all the way. It's unbelievable that all that stands between us and the fall of the republic is a man in his 80s who isn't fully cognizant of the situation.

The double standard the media plays with the 2 candidates is mind blowing. I have two thoughts

  1. The media writes a bunch of articles about "Biden old" and social media amplifies them. Then they bring Joe on and say "Let's put aside that you are doing a great job for a min. A lot of people question if you are able to do the job. Predict the future."

  2. The other guy meanwhile says the media is the enemy of the state. Has vowed retribution against his enemies. Literally talks about having public executions. The Supreme Court he appointed rules that he is immune from law and his lawyer literally agreed with a judge that asked if he could in fact assassinate his rivals.

Bonus thought: Which candidate makes the media more money?
