We can’t excuse shit from our own politicians, just because Republicans excuse it from theirs.
I stand by what I said 10 months ago in that thread when someone besides Biden displayed the same symptoms:
This didn’t happen overnight, if it’s this bad now then her judgement has been compromised for a long time.
We need term limits, because once these (completely normal) mental changes start happening, the person will almost always react with aggression and refuse to ever step down.
Why are you arguing from the stance that Biden is the best path to beating trump when every indication is Biden will lose and Biden himself described it last night as a “coin toss”, said he’d be fine if he lost, and refused to answer if anyone else can beat Trump?
whatever that means. if they used two separate accounts you wouldn’t even know. how about you just address or ignore each comment in it’s merits, and stop trying to control other people.
Mate, the only result that I would consider as losing is a Republican president.
The moderates aren’t going to pull a PUMA again, because there’s no way the DNC is nominating a progressive or even anyone besides Kamala.
They’ll fall in line, progressives will give her the benefit of the doubt like we gave Biden last time.
And regardless of what she’ll be like as a president and her abysmal favor ability numbers, trump is shit enough she can beat him. I don’t think Biden can, but if we’re stuck with him and he manages to pull it off, I’ll still count that as a win.
Just like I don’t think Kamala is the best candidate to beat trump, or the best president. Standards are low and it’s not recent. I’ve literally spent decades just voting against Republicans, this shit ain’t new for progressives.
Lol just like everyone fell in line to vote for Hillary
She’s like the one example of an actual Dem.that would do worse than Biden…
And one of the main real complaints about her, was her refusal to listen to voters. The same thing Biden is doing now.
Kamala is a woman and a minority
Look, I’m not here to argue for Kamala. Personally I think she’ll be a bad president, and they’ll pull the same no primary shit in 2028 if she runs this year.
But at this point it’s just about beating trump.
I know people like videos more than articles these days, so check this out:
It’s Cody Johnston, one of the OG Cracked editors from when Cracked was good.
He doesn’t want Kamala either, but he makes the most convincing argument that she can beat Trump. And realistically I don’t see the DNC picking anyone else.
Yeah…
I said it made him unfit for office.
I thought I posted an article about it back then too, but I was thinking about this other time I was for holding people to a higher standard.

Are you saying it made McConnell unfit but not Biden?
Or that it made neither unfit for office?

And can you try to only reply to a comment once?
if they have two distinct responses, why shouldn’t they leave two distinct comments?
Because it fractures discussion.
Whether intentionally or not
whatever that means. if they used two separate accounts you wouldn’t even know. how about you just address or ignore each comment in it’s merits, and stop trying to control other people.
I’ll let you get back to promoting Jill Stein.
Have fun with that.
this has nothing to do with the topic. this is indicative of an inability of unwillingness to engage in good faith
