OP, thank you for always giving us your hard-hitting, journalistic best. /s

Americans: In case you weren't aware, Joe Biden has always been a "gaffe machine" over his lifetime and throughout his entire career. He's even admitted, “I am a gaffe machine, but my God what a wonderful thing compared to a guy who can’t tell the truth.”

He said, “I’m ready to litigate all those things, the question is what kind of nation are we becoming? What are we going to do? Who are we?” OP, I implore you to ask these questions of yourself.

When asked "Why him?" Biden stated, “Whether or not I run, whoever runs, I’m going to break my neck to make sure they win,” he said. “We can’t have four more years.”

He's doing what he committed to do. In my mind, he's infinitely better than the alternative and will continue to be no matter how many hit pieces OP posts. Why don't you exercise your "journalistic" muscles by reporting on actual issues and real governance instead of lame verbal gaffes that have been with Biden since well before he was elected president?

has everyone forgot what Biden accomplished as a politician or Harris?

does it any of that and their current policies align with the voters?

and Republicans definitely should be asked the same questions

if laws and policies that align with religion and over policing and less human rights is what the goal is then hey lets vote Biden or Trump
