    When we say “politicians who don’t give a shit about you”, does that include 80+ year old men who are willing to throw our democracy away as long as they do their “goodest job”? All because they are addicted to power and can’t imagine a world where someone is more electable than they are, despite overwhelming statistical evidence to the contrary?

    And when we say “career politicians”, does that include people that were elected to the Senate 60 years ago when they were in their 20s?

    It’s #Joever. Time to accept it and move on. Bending over backwards to defend him doesn’t make you a hero, it makes you a useful idiot.

      Dont forget the 80+ year old women who have had nothing but sheer utter, seething contempt for AOC and everything she stands for

      I dont get why americans just suddenly are so much against Biden. Yes he is old. We knew that for a while. He has done quite well still. Yes he didnt have much voice during the debate and wasnt in good form. He still did better than Trump because at least Biden didnt constantly lie.

      Just posting cringe hashtags and giving up will lead to the fascist being in power.

        They were never “with” him in the first place, he was the only option that wasn’t Trump.

        Now the election is coming around again and most folks don’t like Biden’s chances, they just weren’t allowed to say anything about it on TV until the disastrous debate performance.

        Their guilty consciences may move them on occasion to vote Democratic, but deep down they long for a cold-hearted Republican to lower taxes, brutalize criminals, and rule them like a king

      overwhelming statistical evidence to the contrary

      Show it, something where some alternate has a more than 5% greater chance of winning, aka outside the bounds of noise.
