I agree we need to push for ranked-choice voting. But to defend Biden is to defend a segregationist who fell asleep during debates, killed M4A and refuses to do anything about trump's record-breaking fundraising/ongoing attempt at a comeback- I have no confidence at all in democrats, they want RFK or Michelle Obama to run next we are fucking doomed if they're our only hope.
"no confidence at all in democrats, they want RFK"
Not a single real Democrat wants RFK Jr. to run. He's such an obvious spoiler candidate, openly funded by the right wing. C'mon, do better.
Well, RFK aside, I HAVE gotten fundraising emails about if I support Michelle Obama and pete buttigieg as presidential candidates (awful choices as well imo) ntm ones asking If Trump should be acquitted so pardon me if I'm still distrustful of the "left" side of the absolute creepshow that is our government
From who? Are you reading your spam folder? No one is running against Biden seriously.
The DNC. And yeah, it is all spam, they suck at fundraising but still, That's the problem ffs. Biden is running unopposed when the left needs someone who actually cares.
You don’t seem to understand how any of this works.
I don't even want to know what rags you are reading or morons you are listening to to believe any of that.
here's another example of propaganda led group think. biden literally did those things as well as vote against gay marriage and gays serving in military & gov't and so much more that you can see for yourself w a 30 second google search but you and most of the brain dead can't be arsed to bother and promote this kind of very easily disprovable willful ignorance.
I don't read "rags", I read blogs and comments because they're the only news sources that aren't owned by billionaires. Sorry my opinions aren't what you want to hear.
Lol no. What I mean is Biden IS a conservative. He was obama's VP ffs. And he DID make pro-segration comments in the past, DID fall asleep at the debates and still manage to steal the candidacy from the vastly more popular, lucid and passionate alternative (specifically Bernie Sanders but even anybody else in the debates, frankly) only to barely beat trump, allow horrible practices at the border to continue AND the construction of that stupid wall... That's all I'm saying here.
a 30 second google search will confirm what they just told you and i suspect you're a shill because only a dumbass could believe that this is misinformation when there are literally videos of biden doing this shit floating around on google.
You're reading bullshit. Some rube repeating what someone else said is not news.
Real life IS bullshit, and I can't stress enough that like 95% of "the news" is propaganda. Believe what you want, I can't stop you from doing anything but IMHO, Joe Biden does not deserve anybody's time and energy. People need to stop licking his wrinkly ass just because he's not Trump- he has continually let us down even in that respect if you ask me. Remember when he joked about running over that reporter? Dude is a rich, unlikeable asshole end of story https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2021/05/18/biden-jokes-running-over-reporters-while-driving-electric-truck/5152522001/
No one cares.
