He's probably referring to all the times he was caught lying his ass off (and then faced zero consequences)

yeah you're definitely sticking it out when you have to work this hard to tell everyone that you're gonna stick it out

Lots of people asking questions already addressed in my "I'm still mentally competent" fundraising email

Guests on the recent Chapo raised a good point: Pretty much every establishment democrat and CNN/MSNBC talking head has now at the very least expressed serious doubt of Biden's capabilities. There's no way they can now turn around and say "Never mind that, he's totally our guy and you should vote for him!"

...right?

They will. Shame has never existed, or it has only existed as a mechanism to keep the proles down.

Timing helped Biden tremendously. Imagine the debate had been in February and it was March right now. The idiom of not changing horses mid-stream - wouldn't exactly be true. There'd be enough time. Biden would be under a microscope and if his interview went badly tomorrow - he'd be toast. Also this week the rumors and whispering would have been far worse to replace him. And I think Kalama would be his replacement. Anything else would be rightfully seen as racist and misogynistic.

Why?

Not only is it very late in the game - today is the Fourth of July. Boldface name libs had nothing to gain by asking directly for his ouster the last few days or today. It's dumb but American exceptionalism crap demands obedience to symbolism. If Biden's interview is bad - the weekend might be just far enough away from the "sacred" day that the dem ouster machine starts going in earnest.

If Biden's interview is very good - it might be enough that the MSNBC talking heads (etc) start using the "don't change horses mid-stream" as they "look, replacing him would be chaos..." and they pretend Tired Old Joe with his rancid Delaware clam chowder brainpan isn't at high risk of implosion and massive electrical collapse.

Edit

Ageism is hiring a 25 year old instead of a better qualified 55 year old. It's not "ageism" to say that an 81 year old or a 78 year old might not be able to handle the world's most demanding job.

That guy is kind of a bigwig on lib Bluesky. I'm almost shocked that he said it. I thought he was a firmly a "don't change horses because it's too late" guy. But Biden has lost him.

  1. Goes without saying but obviously he didn't write this

  2. Getting more people to vote for you would be easy, STOP SUPPORTING THE DAMN GENOCIDE

[–] WeedReference420@hexbear.net 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Very strong statement that he definitely wrote himself

I know. You wanted to sell your ass and they told you to come back when you're older. You poor victim. And how you stood up to that corn pop dude while diddling kiddies in the pool. You poor victim. Jow you were appointed VP by Citigroup for Obama and the all the inappropriate touchjng and hair sniffing biden-nibble you poor victim. When you bragged about your war on drugs and being key to getting the Democrats to get on board mission-accomplished forever wars in the middle east. Attacking medicaid and social security. You poor fucking victim.
