This is the most progressive time for north america. USA and Canada both have black presidents. They just wear whiteface because it polls better.

He's done worse. This is just him starting and changing sentences multiple times.

He's proud to be the...

(New sentence) The first black vice president....

(New sentence) Under the first black president.... (When he himself was vp under Obama)

(New sentence) Appointed the first black woman to the Supreme Court...

-he was just listing three things that he's been involved with that relate to black politicians

We all know it's a word salad from a pudding-brained old man with nuclear launch codes. Why write apologia?

~~Ah yes, me, well-known Biden lover.~~

~~To answer your question, because there is enough out there that is actually worth criticising and pointing out, we don't also need to make up things that aren't true. Lying about this one only makes the rest of the actual mush brained word salad less impactful.~~

~~The right has the ability to le and distort the truth and that's fine for them, but on the left we have no need for that. We can tell the truth about what's going on and it supports our position.~~

Edit: nah, you're right. I made a bad call on this.

His brain continues to turn to pudding. I'm convinced that him hinting he might drop out of the race was a small slip of him saying what he actually wants to do, deep down he's just a tired,crazy old fuck. Then his handlers got in there and grabbed the reigns again and you see him do a 180 and say he's absolutely not dropping from the race.

There is a part of me that almost feels bad for him, as this is basically boiling down to elder abuse. Part of me also thinks this is absolutely the very minimal he deserves for a lifetime of evil and support of capitalism. Work you old fuck. Be tired and forced to stay awake for you masters. Be forced to work till your last breath.

I think it's almost certain he's going to have to drop out at this point. The debate performance was terrible, but what's more notable is the slew of negative coverage in liberal media immediately after. They didn't even try to play it off like they usually do this time, which suggests that the push to remove him has already been brewing behind the scenes. The debate was likely his last chance to show that he's actually capable of running.

And I completely agree that it is basically elder abuse at this point. Turns out his family are complete and utter psychopaths who are cynically using a demented old man to advance their own interests. These people are absolutely disgusting.

He chose and raised his family. He cultivated his network. They are a reflection of who he is.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Does he deserve it? Yes. But I still feel bad that his family is forcing his exhausted semi-corpse to hold on to the throne for their personal benefits.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

imagine having relatives that would do that to you

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago

Fuck that irredeemable genocidal warhawk sociopath. I am so far beyond empathy for that motherfucker. He deserves every form of abuse. I hope he suffers beyond all hope and dies in incomprehensible fear and agony. History will remember him the way we remember Hitler.

Yogthos, obviously, Biden is not being delusional

His body just did a freaky friday and switched with Kamala's consciousness /s

Most progressive genocider fr fr

Oh, fuck it. Just let him stay in the race.

The risk of missing out on Biden memes now is too great.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I kinda want him to win and then watch dems do a weekend at Bernie's for the next 4 years

It sounds like a bunch of cut sound bytes smashed together.

But I don't think it is...

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (2 children)

just imagine what it's like in his head

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

In his head: Klan meetings with Strom Thurmond

no thank you

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

He’s just pretending to be blockheaded so that we’ll think that all of his horrible atrocities were merely mistakes.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

Capitalists will take everything from you. Even this.
