    Refusing to see Biden’s flaws is incredibly delusional. I understand a bit, running a new candidate could help Trump win. However, running a candidate with dementia will definitely help Trump win. We deserve a candidate with basic debate skills.

      There is a point of no return when public reception dictates further action and that preception will not reverse. I hate the idea, as I think history will look very kindly on Joe, and it’s terrible what’s happening. But, by my estimate we have reached that point.

        I’m sorry, he’s done some good, but he’s also continued delivering weapons to Israel for their genocide in Gaza. If he’s looked at especially fondly in the future it’ll be through rose tinted glasses.

        Still voting for him over Trump, but let’s not be ridiculous.

            Bawaaaaa…,he didn’t do exactly what I want.

            Did he not sell Netanyahu enough weapons for your liking?

              If everyone did exactly what you want it would be perfect! Because, with all those years of foreign policy experience you know, right? First, learn some civics. CONGRESS allocates.

                Why are you talking about me? I was asking why you were so upset that Biden didn’t do exactly what you want. And about the only problem I can imagine you having with Biden is that he didn’t sell enough weapons to Netanyahu for genocide for your liking. Is there some other thing that Biden could have done?

                First, learn some civics. CONGRESS allocates.

                And somehow, Biden was able to CIRCUMVENT congress to SELL Netanyahu weapons for his genocide. Biden’s hands are tied unless it’s something he wants to do. Is that what they taught you in civics class? Because all that tells me is that the gym coach was teaching civics at your school.

                  Why are you talking about instance

                  Because you want something the majority of Congress doesn’t want.

                  Biden was able to CIRCUMVENT congress to SELL Netanyaa…ny

                  That is untrue. By law, which Congress passed, Biden could do exactly what he did. The President has a bunch of attorneys that make sure he follows the law. Did you hear Omar, for instance, complaining? No, you did not. He didn’t circumnavigate anything.

                    You were complaining about how Biden didn’t do everything you want. Now you’re talking about Congress.

                    That is untrue. By law, which Congress passed, Biden could do exactly what he did.

                    Biden was selling Netanyahu weapons before congress voted. But I guess if genocide isn’t beyond the pale, there’s no reason you would have qualms about lying to support it.

      Isn’t he already top 10? But his past administration, vs. him now… I dunno what to think. If he were elected, then his administration could continue, but that’s a big “if” at this juncture.

      Scuttling your own incumbent because of his flaws is peak delusion.

      Go touch grass.

        And running a candidate who can’t debate and is only coherent between 10 and 4 is just good politics?
