Yeah he could have mentioned that in the debate
Americans need to get off the political extremism ride, it’s not a good fit for you guys. Go back to drinking milkshakes and talking too loud in Europe.
Are you saying we don’t do those other things? We are perfectly capable of walking and chewing gum at the same time, thank you very much
At least uhh… At least half of us probably are capable.
And that’s all we need in a first past the post system!
DID SOMEONE SAY MILKSHAKE?!?
The answer to uniting the US was there all along.
Well this election isn’t about reading anymore. It’s about who’s still alive on election day.
He asked americans to read? He really really doesn’t want to be president anymore
Not just read, but read a nearly 1000 page, dry, political document
keep up with the brilliant campaign strategy, Joe. tell people to read… that’ll go well.
If he was still capable of using the bully pulpit (and if he had ever been seriously interested in using it at all), he could start at the beginning and focus on one section at a time over the course of weeks. Instead he’s telling Americans to read something that is simultaneously dull and hateful with no context.
seriously i never thought I’d see a political candidate give people homework.
This would be perfect as a podcast. Just break up the document section by section and do a whole series on it. Detail what Republicans want to do, why it’s evil shit, how they want to accomplish it, and then draw a contrast between what Democrats want and what Democrats intend to do instead and what they need to accomplish it. Could go section by section in as much depth as you want. End each episode with a preview of the next one, start each episode with a “last time on Dragon Ball Z” recap of the previous one.
People could get this information while driving or doing the dishes or folding laundry. Instead of expecting them to sit down and read the unabridged and un-annotated “How We’re Gonna Do a Fascism” by the Heritage Foundation.
Whether or not they would listen to such a podcast, who can say?
Bill Clinton: “Violence has no place in America, especially in our political process”
Bill… c’mon. America is violence’s head cheerleader.
He’s just glad they used Monica instead. More pleasant, humane and all that.
Biden is holding everyone hostage here. It’s him or the other worse option. But he is completely responsible for the situation we are in now.
Blaming Biden for the GOP being fascists seems odd to me.
Biden is not responsible people do not want to vote for him. Voters are responsible for not voting for a person they do not want to vote for!
He is responsible for intentionally hiding his true mental state from the public. Running such a close race with Trump should be a clear sign of how unpopular he is as a candidate. At this point, Democrats are dangerously close to losing this election replacing him or not. That is on him.
I wouldn’t say completely responsible, but he and the Democratic Party more broadly are certainly taking advantage of the situation.
America could have had Bernie.
Taking advantage right up to the point they lose power, and drag the US into an incredibly dark period.
And they’ll blame the left.
Lol they already started victim blaming. “The second American revolution is coming and it will be bloodless if the left allows it to be”
The Irony is that they have bernie sanders but because they bend over to AIPAC they dont want Bernie.
Well, such moments in politics show us that rats do not, in fact, jump the ship first.
Still two groups of very shady people pitting a senile man (also a pro-Soviet politician in his younger years and probably a crook, but let’s forget this) against a mentally impaired man (who could get a few life sentences were he not that important) look disgusting.
Biden has a point.
And if (when?) people come after democrats violently, I doubt trump will call for an end to it. Democrats once again bring a sternly-worded letter of disapproval to a gun fight.
Obligatory “if these Americans could read, they would be very upset.”
Biden, STEP THE FUCK DOWN.
You first
Biden’s not wrong.
Democrats keep doing it to themselves: they keep on giving POTUS45 platform. Elections should be about what you are, not the other guy, but we’re past that now, aren’t we?
in a two party system like this it’s almost never like that. the choice is between two right wing parties, it’s just that one is fascist and one liberal so if you’re left wing you’re kinda stuck with voting “not fascist”.
two party system aside, in present environment encouraging people to read opponents program vs your own is a wrong move. In ideal world people should be informed about all platforms, but this is not how US works
And I urge Biden to read a statement of resignation on live television.
It would be an win to just mention a few things, but there are issues with it that would deter people than no person would mention.
