    Biden is reacting to all of this in exactly the same way anyone else in his shoes would.

    He’s starting to react exactly the same way trump and many others on the right do, and is gaslighting his voters the same way, too (like by dismissing the perfectly valid concerns as “drama”)…

    That is to say it may very well be down to age, but it’s also just the textbook behaviour of politicians who are there to serve themselves, the filthy rich establishment, and the status quo they all need to survive.

      The thing is, republicans have been conditioned to accept that since Nixon and Watergate.

      Dem voters aren’t there yet. Hopefully we’ll never get there, but right now this shit won’t work on Dem voters.

        Lol, it’s working perfectly well already, in case you haven’t been paying attention, those still blindly loyal to Biden, as well as the “blue no matter who” crowd are proving you wrong every day.

        Until people like you confront the fact that we have ALL been conditioned to accept this farce, and that those on both teams serve the same people (billionaires) and use the same tactics (empty promises, flat out lies, gaslighting, manipulating, even love bombing) they just appeal to different sensibilities so your bias tells you the one that appeals to you isn’t that bad actually, we will never break free from this circus.

          Which I wouldn’t mind as much if there were enough to actually stop trump…

          But there’s not.

          They’re just very loud

          Until people like you confront the fact that we have ALL been conditioned to accept this farce,

          Millions of Americans, myself included, do t accept that this current system is the only option, and we’re definitely not under the illusion everything is fine…
