Joe Biden, Senator from Citibank (oops, DELAWARE), to Run for President

i want this to turn into the thing where someone starts shusshing and then everyone else starts shusshing the shusher, and then someone in brooklyn opens their window and yells SHUT THE FUCK UP, but then a few seconds later that wakes up someone else who also opens their window and yells the same thing

dont think anyone here, including yourself up until this very post, has been making this argument so narrow as to be "no no i mean for this *one individual voter* there's no difference" but hey if thats the point, woof

Collectives are made up of individuals IIRC.

Karl - you play with your straw man and be in peace.

is there anything worse than being a nihilistic troll who dresses themselves in the garb of someone who cares more than anyone else? because in every politics thread you stink up you never give the impression you care about anything more than "winning" every argument. and "winning" for you always seems to be having sharper "zings", rather than winning someone over to your point of view. You're positively Trumpian, in that every time you're out-argued - which is EVERY time, whether it's Karl bringing his actual experience as someone working/who has worked within the realm of climate change, or unperson pointing out yesterday that Biden literally just ran a commercial on the subject you say he's never engaged with - you just change front or accuse people of using strawmen. The truth is, a strawman has more depth and sense than you, and at least isn't incredibly annoying and self-satisfied. No wonder you're always cutting and pasting tweets rather than articulating points yourself - Twitter is your perfect arena, 280 characters and out.

You're positively Trumpian

Probably on Moscow’s payroll too!!!

zing!

I used the straw man as a word just the once -- and this is what Karl was doing when he casts some of the critics as arguing that Democrats and Republicans are the same when there are clearly other things going on. I'm pointing out on a few occasions how Biden won't be a significant change from Trump -- certainly one that isn't enough vote for, and all you are calling me is Trumpian. Its desperate stuff, take a break.

People are flipping out at you because this is absurd on its face.

Its desperate stuff, take a break.

Are there any mirrors in your home?

you nodded along to an ad.

I wasn't going to post anymore after Aimless made a gabbneb comparison lol.

tired: Biden wouldn't be a significant change from trump
wired: Bernie wouldn't have been a significant change from trump

get on my level

Warren endorsed Biden so I'm in

What will you do if polls show a close race in Texas, Milo?

lol they do, they actually fucking do

I've posted once today. You can't stop finding rakes to tread on.

Trump will have at least $750 million to play with in addition to free media. If he has to spend a chunk of it in Texas to hold it I won't be upset, but I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for Texas to jump over to Biden. Just by fulfilling his promise to name a woman as his veep, I expect Biden would slip back some in Texas.

Except that once is sometimes enough, Stevie.

Did anybody post on this thread today? It’s popped up on my bookmarks but I can’t tell

posting, not posting, existing, not existing, killing a man in cold blood with a tire iron versus giving that same all of your possessions and promising to protect him from afar
what's the difference, really, it's all the same

apparently there have been multiple classic meltdowns on here today and i missed all of them and i have no idea what's going on, age is finally catching up to me i guess

It's still quite curious that Americans argue about US politics with XYZ, who, like me, can't vote in the US.

I meant to watch him on CNN's weekly coronavirus "town hall" (sounds weird) last night but just caught the tail end. He seemed a little blustery.

kind of impressive how well his posting style translates for the camera

did not know he was a felon

that's the first thing about joe biden that has made him sound cooler that i have ever heard

shit, i thought we were talking about xyz

Weren't all the old ONION versions of Biden making him seem somewhat cool in an old-school, uncool way?

maybe what joe biden needs for this campaign is for a smarter, far more talented man to stand next to him and occasionally interject "-Joe. No. Joe..."

Obama has other things to do.

Oh. Hi, everyone.

hi alfred!

Good morning.

BIDEN: "Um, you know, there's a, uh, during World War II, uh, you know, where Roosevelt came up with a thing, uh, that, uh, you know, was totally different than a- than the- it's called, he called it, the, you know, the World War II, he had the war- the the War Production Board." pic.twitter.com/CwFSW2UITD

"...one of the least attentive and most divisive presidents..."

yes, drag him Joe, least attentive

Biden also said he would consider Republicans for some top level positions within his administration.

“One advantage of being around a long time is you get to know an awful lot of people. In the private sector, in the public sector, people who are committed — first and foremost — are thoroughly honorable,” he said.

“I have had literally several hundred serious, serious players who have been held positions in every department in the federal government who have said, including some Republicans, who have said if you win, I want to come back. I’m ready to serve,” he added.

John Bolton, NSA

why are you recommending Bolton to Biden?

The average American just has no conception of the cruelty and greed of the Republican Party. I think far more people consider republicans to be basically good-faith actors who just happen to disagree with democrats. Unfortunately, I don’t think anyone, let alone Joe Biden, is going to disabuse them of this notion by November.

jfc he is so bad

Donald Trump says he’s a wartime president — it’s time for him to act like one.

— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) April 18, 2020

what if he meant Jefferson Davis though?

Perhaps the average American doesn’t grasp the evil of the GOP because people like Joe Biden keep working to rehabilitate their image and stature among non-psychopaths?

Stevie and myself aren't the only Brits doing this.

This cycle of journalists and politicians screaming “Fuck you all swine, your views are worthless” at members of the public then wondering why those people don’t want to help them out is not going to end until we’re all guarding our vegetable patches with shotguns. pic.twitter.com/cfBdU7cXSC

ha -- I know Dorian.

And those people quoted are gross.

Yeah, former ilx, some of his views on Brit politics aren't so hot either.

There was an active Brit contributor to Ask A Drunk for several years in the early 2000s whose handle was Lynskey. Same?

Sources in the story said they're considering voting for Trump. Fuck them and their stupidity.
