It's elder abuse, plain and simple. People are using this old man to remain in power. It's all they care about. They obviously don't care about the country

I think this narrative reduces Biden's own complicity in this. Should the people around him be pressuring him harder to step down? Absolutely. But he's not so far gone that he can't make his own decisions and be accountable for them. He's said he would only drop out if "God Almighty" came down and told him to. That's entitlement and hubris on his part, not abuse.
elder abuse but the old man is nasty and deserves it
I agree 100%
Every gaffe makes more likely to vote for Biden just so he is forced to spend the rest of his life with dementia as the president
Anyone that votes for Biden at this point just doesn't care about the country imo. We need someone who can make important decisions and sorry but that's not Biden
Death to America
Usually I'm the one arguing that you shouldn't vote for Biden, but if we're arguing which presidential candidate is most likely to take the country where it needs to go, it's Biden. He's going to crash it so good, and that's exactly what the world needs.

Fine, I will do electoralism, but just this once.
We need someone who can make important decisions

Deeply unserious lib shit, oh no, not ThE CoUnTrY run by oligarchs that routinely murders people around the world.
America deserved 9/11
Are you in America?

Best argument for voting for Biden I’ve ever heard
Correct. I don't care about America at all. Death to America
I do not care about the country
all whites look the same
But Kamala and Donald? And even if you confuse Zelensky and Putin faces, you can always recognize them by clothes.
Donald's always trying for that trans-brown phenotype
Did the media always spell it Zelenskyy? Lol double y just makes me read it like "exactlyyy". Like why does his name need vocal fry?
I know there are bigger Russia-Ukraine issues but I really hate how after more than 2 years the media still can't agree on how to spell his fucking name.
Can't they just ask him the preferred Anglicized spelling and settle it already?
Ukranian language don't have unified romanisation scheme or if it have, it's ignored by latin alphabet users, i seen wild spelling versions. Hell even such simple name like Oleg i seen in a least 3 different versions in official papers issued by Polish institutions.

Dualism turns opposites into interchangeable parts of the same whole for me too.
It's joever. He would have gotten a pass on this stuff a month ago, his margin of error is now zero. I am now hoping he stays in because that's the funniest outcome.
