    They didn’t want Biden to step down. They wanted him running against Trump and losing.

      Pretty much. That way when Trump won, they could say “see? We told you so!”

      Much more important than them or people they might care about getting marched into camps.

          You already told me in another post that you’re not celebrating this and have moved on to Harris.

          bomb em Biden

          • Takes too long to even figure out
          • Not really all that punchy
          • “Genocide Joe” is already perfectly serviceable without these drawbacks
          • Dude… he’s out of the race now. Why you are even trying out new ways to dunk on Joe at this point is beyond me. Unless you were just excited that you thought of it and wanted to have a chance to apply it before the moment is past even though the moment is, at this point, past

          3/10. It’s not, like, a total failure, but there are multiple reasons just not even to use it. Can I recommend “cacklin’ Kamala” instead, as a replacement?

            I really liked Genocidin Biden but he turned around and started dropping air packets and at least tried with the pier.

            I think he should have driven aid trucks in with one us soldier per truck and said “Dare you.”, but I understand the high risk for loss of life.

            He did a lot of good and even worked with the railroad union after he shut down their strike and earned my respect back from that one.

            He is either in the shadow years of his life or he has just lost the ability to not seem that way in public.

            The man has earned his retirement and now it is our job to try and get her elected.

            That sending Israel everything and protecting their asses after what they have done.

            A response was required, they unleashed hell on civilians and he continued to support them.

            She probably will too, but maybe not.

            While I would love someone way more on the “single provder” and new housing, those are long term changes

            They listened and now it’s our turn to have their backs.

      Exactly.

      It’s quite insidious.

      Today I’m suddenly seeing a lot of “vote blue no matter who”, which IMO is intended to stifle enthusiasm for Kamala.

      If the left could unite behind a candidate we’d destroy the GOP.
