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

if only politicians could be controlled by a tens of thousands of people viewing their lives through VR goggles on the politicians' heads, each of viewers mashing the button corresponding to what they wanted them to do at that given moment, with second amendment warriors facing off against factions trying to get them to head toward the bathroom

Google “biden palestinian authority” and it’s almost nothing but right wing sites flipping the fuck out over his commitment to “restore funding to terrorists”

Plus one haaretz article that’s about 350 words, assuming that’s still not too long for milo to read without flying into a tizzy

Literally all it takes is reading replies on a site I don’t even use, and entering basic search terms. Your cherry picking bullshit is weak

i understand i will never be happy with a viable candidate's position on this issue that is why i don't engage in these conversations generally. my question is did anyone choose to read that over before putting it on his website

Probably two people. Watch it get tweaked by tomorrow.

Such cherry picking to, uh, quote the words the Biden campaign chose, without comment.

Your brains are going to melt out of your ears by November.

Please give us some pro tips on how to live without brains

Is everyone you meet a fucking stooge? I assume yes. Have you ever considered that might say something about what you are?

See, you've already devolved to "I'm rubber and you're glue" stage of development.

guys guys. you're both bad

I've met almost no stooges, but I've also never met someone who gets mad because a horrible phrase in service of a horrible man was pointed out in a mocking manner.

Your everyday sanctimonious bullshit in the service of the profound and truly novel narrative that AMERICA SUCKS AND WILL NEVER GET BETTER drives me up the wall, over it, and into a burning dumpster of discombobulated rage. I have allowed you to live in my head rent free! I have lost at this game.

You wouldn’t know a coherent foreign policy if it kicked you in the dick, though.

harshness tombot

tombot otm

Super weird thing to get mad about IMO.

super weird to continue ragging on biden with barr, mcconnell, and trump running loose

I get mad about things I know about

I thought it was a mental trick to make yourself feel better about voting for a sex creep in a district where your vote is wholly irrelevant but okay.

Fuck you, dumbass

"AMERICA SUCKS AND WILL NEVER GET BETTER"

FWIW only the first half is definitely correct

Otmbot

America just sucks, Joe Biden sucks and will never get better.

wow i'm shocked that joe biden's website reflected the mainstream u.s. consensus on one of the most polarizing issues in the world. truly hope this horrible man loses in november so we can have a socialist uprising in 2024.

i just want to see hunter biden finally brought to justice

xxp just don’t post it though, if you do your feelings about him will penetrate the ilx bubble and color the opinions of millions of swing voters

I don't think anyone expressed shock or even disappointment? Though "the Palestinians are doin it to themselves" is pretty craven even for a centrist Democrat in 2020.

why is it more gauche to post to the trump thread than the biden thread?

trump is the unwanted trip and biden is the accidental patio chat in hour 4

milo your constant trolling is making me not like ilx anymore, it's not your point of view it's the way you present it

I've never trolled ILX.

Like... I posted an image taken directly from Joe Biden's campaign website (something I consider pretty terrible, but I did not comment on it). I did not tag tombot or point it out to him or really remember that he exists in any way - and yet he responded multiple times, angrily.

I guess I shouldn't have said that, I know you have a coherent and valid point of view, I just wish you wouldn't be so confrontational

I don't want a thread of piety towards Joe Biden; no politician deserves, especially him. But I left the thread in April because for once the constant revivals just cracked me; it looked like every DO YOU SEE Twitter thread on earth.

*no politician deserves IT.

not really seeing where Milo was confrontational here. He posted something abt Joe Biden in the Joe Biden thread and was subsequently eviscerated. Lockdown doing numbers on ppl

This thread, and the Democratic primary thread before, is the one I have to step away from the most. Too much going in circles with the same bitter arguments.

don't even trip. we've got him this time

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/may/20/ukraine-joe-biden-petro-poroshenko-recordings-investigation

I hadn't joined ILX in 2004, so I've no idea if the Kerry threads were this tedious.

So Biden talked to Ukraine officials about needing to fire Shokin, and tied that to delivering aid? So he did the thing he was tasked with doing years ago that everyone already knew he did? Oh my.

I truly don't take tombot's aggression personally - pretty sure the meanest thing I've ever said to him before was that he was comfortably upper-middle class and the stakes are different for him - so it really does seem to me that he's just shotgunning for other political reasons.

i remember when hillary was ahead. i don't know tombot beyond his posts here but i'm still pissed off. fuck donald trump

I genuinely believe our country is capable of better things, even without your chosen ideologue at the top of the ticket. I think incrementalism is the- not a, the- way to get there. I believe foreign policy is a serious business, not something we can recuse ourselves from as a nation because something bad might happen to people if we practiced it.

Your posts, for years, are a series of exercises in belittling everyone who might disagree with your simplistic moral view of politics. You’re a terrible poster and you drive other people out. You’re predictable and tiresome. And unlike Morbius, you don’t have the credentials of “really nice guy IRL” to slide. You just suck.

Even xyz is actually funny sometimes, with his dumb tweets about melts

"Voter turnout could also swing the election one way or another, according to the report.

The model is said to have correctly predicted the popular vote in every election since 1948, other than 1968 and 1976.

However, researchers admit it has “inherent limitations”, excluding non-economic factors such as a candidate’s agenda or likeability."

another high quality article from the good folks at The Independent!

interesting, so, according to the report, you're saying "voter turnout" could make a difference? interesting - i need to check out that report!

honestly i think almost all ilxors are good people and trying their best, it's just variations on how we deal with all of this nonsense in the world

You’re a terrible poster and you drive other people out.

I would reiterate that I posted a screenshot and you responded multiple times angrily and personally, in a "discombobulated rage."

by "almost all", i'm leaving room for any jeffrey dahmer lurkers out there

milo, maybe you’ve killfiled all the other posters politely telling you to shut the fuck up, but for the record, I’m not exactly special

Agreed.
