Obligatory "if these Americans could read, they would be very upset."
He asked americans to read? He really really doesn't want to be president anymore
Not just read, but read a nearly 1000 page, dry, political document
Biden is holding everyone hostage here. It's him or the other worse option. But he is completely responsible for the situation we are in now.
Well, such moments in politics show us that rats do not, in fact, jump the ship first.
Still two groups of very shady people pitting a senile man (also a pro-Soviet politician in his younger years and probably a crook, but let's forget this) against a mentally impaired man (who could get a few life sentences were he not that important) look disgusting.
Blaming Biden for the GOP being fascists seems odd to me.
He is responsible for intentionally hiding his true mental state from the public. Running such a close race with Trump should be a clear sign of how unpopular he is as a candidate. At this point, Democrats are dangerously close to losing this election replacing him or not. That is on him.
It's close because of republican disinformation, not Biden's real mental state.
Biden is not responsible people do not want to vote for him. Voters are responsible for not voting for a person they do not want to vote for!
I wouldn't say completely responsible, but he and the Democratic Party more broadly are certainly taking advantage of the situation.
America could have had Bernie.
Taking advantage right up to the point they lose power, and drag the US into an incredibly dark period.
And they'll blame the left.
Lol they already started victim blaming. "The second American revolution is coming and it will be bloodless if the left allows it to be"
The Irony is that they have bernie sanders but because they bend over to AIPAC they dont want Bernie.
He finally getting around to this huh. The whole damn party needs to be drilling this into the American psyche. We really need an ethical individual - well as ethical as you can find, it's a pretty big ask - to serve as a rally point for the Democrats. I mean, we could have had Bernie but Hilary and the DNC fucked that all up thanks to their complete unwillingness to read the goddamn room.
Ethical? Just get Jimmy Carter back up there. If Dems are willing to look past the age issues with Biden and say shit like "you're electing an administration, not a person", they might as well go with someone that actually has a good track record.
Bonus points if he can pull off a new "energy crisis" too. Might do us good to increase the incentive on transitioning off fossil fuels....
Do you really think the state is intended for the benefit of the populace and working class?
Americans need to get off the political extremism ride, it’s not a good fit for you guys. Go back to drinking milkshakes and talking too loud in Europe.
DID SOMEONE SAY MILKSHAKE?!?
The answer to uniting the US was there all along.
Are you saying we don’t do those other things? We are perfectly capable of walking and chewing gum at the same time, thank you very much
At least uhh... At least half of us probably are capable.
And that's all we need in a first past the post system!
It would be an win to just mention a few things, but there are issues with it that would deter people than no person would mention.
And if (when?) people come after democrats violently, I doubt trump will call for an end to it. Democrats once again bring a sternly-worded letter of disapproval to a gun fight.
He should have considered telling people about it during that debate on primetime national TV.
I swear to God democratic PR personnelle is all Republican sleeper agents. They are so inept it's maddening. Women lost their reproductive rights, Trump tried to overthrow our government. Biden should be just repeating these points over and over again.
Just like Republicans do when they find themselves an issue.
Stop trying to explain stuff to Americans, they are too stupid. Just hammer easy to understand points that are wrapped in emotion.
I completely agree
Bill Clinton: "Violence has no place in America, especially in our political process"
Bill... c'mon. America is violence's head cheerleader.
He's just glad they used Monica instead. More pleasant, humane and all that.
