Of course it is, Bidens whole shtick is looking like he’s going to do something without committing in any meaningful way.
Second question.
Is that face AI generated? He looks like a Heel about lay the smack down in some WWE baby face.
That, or a plastic mannequin.
Edit: for reference:
And here we have attacks on the president's appearance? How very progressive of you: saving Gazan lives, one demented post at a time.
Do you think if I went through your comment history I'd find you making fun of trumps appearance?
Go for it, I'm another imperfect human being, but I certainly don't hide my post history.
Quick edit to highlight the pattern hereabouts: brash assumptions in lieu of easily accessible information. Such a lazy purity test.
Nah I'm lazy and don't care, it was a bluff. Carry on
Precisely, and I invite others to check your post history as a result. Such dishonesty through multiple conversations.
Sorry? Dishonesty?
They photoshopped him to look less like a sleepy skeleton.
It's going to be such a fantastic 4 years with Donnie after watching D's tear themselves apart ignoring Biden being great and just being completely unrealistic and unreasonable with reality.
. . . So you think not enabling genocide is unrealistic and unreasonable with reality?
The bar here is pretty low, stop sending Israel weapons and money, stop defending them in the UN, and stop saying you support them.
You don't prevent genocide by letting the guy who can't be convinced anything is a bad idea win instead of the guy who can.
If both options were reasonable then ok, let the other guy win as a matter of principle, but right now the alternative is way worse and won't help with your cause either.
You don't win votes by convincing people the other guy's worse. Full stop.
Stop celebrating Democrats making TERRIBLE political moves by failing to condemn terrible political moves...
At its heart, voting is choosing the least-worse option.
Our best case is being able to repeat this until the criminally-bad options are gone and we only have good options to choose from, but while life expectancy and objective happiness is far, far below what it should be for such a rich nation, you know we have some heavy evolution ahead.
Voting in a First Past the Post election system is like this. If we can switch to another system like the Single Transferrable Vote, we can get better results.
Don’t be stupid. Trump is going to demand they nuke and pave Palestine and he’ll open a string of Trump resorts for free as his reward. Think that’s unlikely? Please. We’ve got a ton of receipts. He’s 1000 times worse than a Biden administration. So cut the GRU bullshit.
If “Young Progressive Activists” were actually serious about stopping a millenia-old conflict on the other side of the world, the point of entry is their representative and senator. Do they even know who that is? Representatives pass legislation to require (cease-fire, aid, reparations, whatever) or no more money. That’s what they say they actually want.
Magical Santa President is a child’s cartoon. And the conversation of this constant BiDeN gEnOcIdE train is a sad hEr EmAiLs argument in design and purpose.
And you don't improve things by letting the worst option take power by your inaction.
No one has said they wouldn't vote against Trump. Why do you assume every vote has to be FOR Biden?
Not every vote has to come with an ass kissing, you sycophantic dipshits.
When did the USA adopt a system where voting independent or third party when you lean left has any influence and prevents the Republicans from taking power? Unless you were planning to vote Republican and will vote for someone else?
How is it so confusing to understand that someone can still vote for Biden while not wanting to vote for Biden?
You're all literally too simple to understand how personal morals work, apparently. Sad.
No, it's your phrase that didn't make sense as you said not voting for Trump while also not voting for Biden, learn to express yourself clearly and then start sharing your opinion.
Again, reading comprehension of a 5 year old.
If at least you were humble enough to not be an ass...
No one has said they wouldn't vote _against_ Trump. Why do you assume every vote has to be FOR Biden?Yeah so in written form that's exactly what you said, if you wanted to convey that you would vote for Biden without supporting his politics then that's what you should have said or instead of using all caps on FOR you should have used quotation marks around it.
Pretty funny you're the one who started throwing insults by I'm the ass here
Okay so if this guy can be confined genocide is a bad idea, when exactly is that going to happen?
I didn’t think it was so challenging, but I guess Biden really struggles with this choice?
You’re right, the PotUS is a completely powerless position, Biden literally can’t do anything! He’s forced to put support bills offering aid to Israel, to fast track weapons to Israel ignoring congress, to have his Secretary of State protect Israel in the UN.
The President is such a completely powerless position, right?
He actually structured the deals in a way that they didn't meet the minimum dollar amount for congressional oversight, which is mind bendingly illegal.
You think preventing this country from turning into a dictatorship that is planning to commit genocide on LGBTQs and women her is a low bar?
You think supporting genocide is acceptable as long as it's brown people in another country?
I think destroying this country, eliminates any possibility of stopping genocide anywhere else. But you seem intent on supporting genocide everywhere...
Imagine being this indoctrinated into American exceptionalism.
I mean, that's the entire Democrats' MO, but we cannot speak ill of Democrats while Trump exists, don't you know!
Sure we can. The idea of loyalty over all is actually a foundation of conservative political parties, while center- and left-leaning parties are increasingly critical of themselves. It's why charity or protest groups splinter all the time or just implode with all that angst.
It's okay if you don't know that. It's part-and-parcel.
Dems are self-critical? You should try telling that to the DNC.
Whataboutism about whataboutism. Wowee.
No, you see, you're doing it, too. I didn't just say "what about". I said it's their entire MO. Yet all you fucking morons do is see that I said something negative about the less bad party.
Congratulations, you're still engaging in team sports.
"no u"
🥱
Congratulations, you have the brain of a child and no valid point to make. Sad.
"lazy insults with no substance"
🥱
