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

holy shit. have you all heard of something called CORONAVIRUS

to flip that around, if you can't recognize that a 20,000 ft slab of concrete that extends out into space is different than a plate of rotten salami, that's your problem

Well... no. It’s your problem as someone fretting about Biden’s potential in swing states. Clearly the person there not voting or voting Green has made their choice.

Hectoring people for not recognizing that your guy isn’t as bad as the other guy, rather than explaining how your guy represents an improvement in the circumstances of that voter and the people that voter cares about is the strategy that got us Dubya and Trump in the first place.

YOU GUYS IT'S COLDER OUTSIDE THAN IN MY APARTMENT

let me blow your mind: i bet joe biden wouldn't appoint his son-in-law to lead 20+ different initiatives ranging from the opiod crisis to israel/palestine peace. wow!

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

sure, but let's stop pretending like people in this boat are going to be convinced by an obvious argument that makes sense. you said it yourself, in the same post: "Well... no. It’s your problem as someone fretting about Biden’s potential in swing states. Clearly the person there not voting or voting Green has made their choice." clearly they already made their dumb choice

is this the Biden thread or seamless gifs

lol

it's 2016, it's 2000, it's all the same. no real difference between bush and gore, no real difference between trump and clinton

STOP TAKING THE BAIT

wait, hold on

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

reply all

haha sorry, that was aimed at myself as much as anyone; like I need to accept that I'm not going to change anyone's mind on the thread today

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

what is the term when meant to strawman but it turns out their point was even worse than you thought

Clearly the person there not voting or voting Green has made their choice." clearly they already made their dumb choice

If they’re unreachable, why fret or care? Tell them they’re dumb assholes and accept whatever may come in November.

nawman

xyzzz turning into bizarre gabbneb

will take xyz over neb 9 times out of 10 tbh

otm

Collectives are made up of individuals IIRC.

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?
