    And though President Joe Biden is “an uninspiring candidate who doesn’t have any main-character energy,”

    Sigh.

    Come the fuck on. Just shut the fuck up, you dipshit. “Main character energy.” Motherfucker, it’s not Goku VS. Vegeta for the 2024 bid. It’s the goddamned leader of the country. Maybe not having main character energy is a good thing. Maybe instead of having a pissing contest we can have have an actual ballot. I’m sorry, I’m probably expecting too much when I hope that ego takes a back seat and the person I’m talking to literally named himself “tha god.” Fucking moron.

      Are you for real? That’s his hip hop name, and he’s a tastemaker in his circles. He actually tried to help Kamala Harris out with her butchered interview on his show 4 years ago, and softened the blow of the audience reaction.

      Charlamagne isn’t an enemy of Biden, and he came up with his stage name as a young guy in the streets who was learning about Charlemagne in night school. It was created at a time that he was aspiring for more and had no success under his belt. Making fun of him for it is kind of messed up in my opinion. His name is iconic in hip hop.

          And he was pretty forgiving about that comment too—if dems think Charlamagne is to blame for those two awful interviews, then they clearly didn’t watch them. He did what he could to minimize the damage they did to themselves. If anything, him keeping his distance this time is just sparing them the rope they might hang themselves with again.

    Some people may not like them, but The Breakfast Club has been a source for Political interviews for at least 10 years. They’re syndicated in 90 markets and a ton of black people listen in every day. It’s one of the few venues to reliably reach black voters which is why politicians keep going back and why this article exists.

    Just 8 or 10 more B and C list celebrities and 6 to 10 more middle of the road musical artists or pro sports players and it will be ABUNDANTLY CLEAR that Joe is a giant piece of NPC shit you shouldn’t vote for.

    Who the fuck cares what any celeb thinks about voting? Everyone who raised their hand should be disenfranchised for not being mature enough for the responsibility.
