The rest of us will be thrown into a existential crises but as long a biden is at peace it's all good

Spoken like a person who will not have to live long under the consequences of that hubris, and whose family wealth will insulate their offspring.

I’m gonna vote for you, Biden, but your personal “peace” is a shitty umbrella the rest of us don’t get to live under.

Omfg I hate this guy. Die already. Acting like this is some kinda fucking game. Pathetic.

Does he really think that he is the best candidate or does he intentionally ignore the possibility of someone else having better chances of winning?

To me it sounds like greed and pride affecting his judgement. What a shame to add this to ones legacy

Is someone on the edge of realizing Trump is a result, not a cause? People dismissed as wackos were warning about this for 20 years or more.

He's mistaking qualifications with electability. To be fair, boomers grew up in a society that was much more of a meritocracy and he's probably confused about what century he's in.

We're all going to die because another Boomer won't retire.

Well, if he had a long life ahead of him, he should worry a lot since donnie and his goons will seek to lock him up. This country will not be at peace if Biden fails.

If the neofascist movement captures America, the only thing standing between humanity and disaster will be the British and French nuclear arsenals.

The small solace I have in this universe is that the same worms will eat him

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 months ago

If he doesn't use his brand new immunity powers to have the military remove his opposition then he hasn't "given it his all".

And you know if Trump gets in power he's going to doing exactly that to his adversaries.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 months ago

Yeah but we won’t be.

The people who truly govern American will continue doing so no matter who wins the presidency.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Funny how those people run things very differently depending on which party us in power. Almost like the secret cabal you're imagining doesn't actually run everything.

They let you fight on identity politics, while they keep raking in most of the profits. divide to conquer

Do you know that many Big money election donors, donate to both parties at the same time ?

Do you know that in the previous Congressional elections the Democratic party Funded many Republican campaigns ???

If the neofascist movement captures America, the country will become so enshitified that their profits will go down.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

You say "identity politics", I say human rights.

I wonder if he'll feel that way when he's put on trial on live television and sentenced to death. Or, if that doesn't happen, if he'll feel that way when millions of minorities are killed by trumps brown shirt equivalents or sent to camps to die. Course, he'll probably be dead by the time everything comes to fruition even if he doesn't get sentenced to death cause he's so old.

So given this, imo Biden is saying the quiet part out loud.

Maybe it’s just me, but I’m getting a whole: “I’m doing this for you and if you don’t appreciate it I’m just gonna lose and enjoy my money with a trump presidency”

Americans can put Biden in the ballot or else they get the trump again

I'm glad Biden understands the Severity of what will happen to him and his Family if he Loses!
