“The younger generation now tells me how tough things are. Give me a break. No, no, I have no empathy for it. Give me a break,” Biden, 75, told The Los Angeles Times earlier this week.

“Because here’s the deal guys, we decided we were gonna change the world. And we did. We did. We finished the civil rights movement in the first stage. The women’s movement came to be,” he continued.

Then he became the President and Roe v Wade was overturned and wants to ban a social media platform mostly used by people younger then 40.

Wow, it only took until 60 years ago (living fucking memory for large swathes of the US) to finally acknowledge black people were human, congrats America

"we" finished the civil rights movement?

Joe you were chumming it up with KKK members at their funerals and passing racist "harsh on crime" laws. WTF are you talking about "we"? You were on the wrong side of the conflict.

Typical lib belief that the civil rights movement and women's rights were things that happened and we can move on now, look, we even have MLK Day and International Woman's Day, what more do you want?

I cannot believe that they drink their own Kool Aid though

Which is a weird position to take because he was vice president to the man who dragged the future out into the street and shot it.
