    I keep seeing this nickname pop up but nobody seems to be able to tell me who Joe Biden has committed genocide against. The only Joe I know that’s committed genocide is Stalin.

      It may not be considered genocide, but Biden supported the Iraq war and other efforts which caused a lot of civilian deaths estimated to be well over 100,000.

        You mean the war that was supported by virtually the entirety of Congress and the Senate, up to and including Bernie Sanders? That war?

        They got fucking lied to and made a bad decision based on bad information. How is that anyone other than the Bush administrations fault?

          Sanders didn’t vote for the Iraq War. There were members that knew it was a big lie. So now we should feel bad for Joe Biden… poor guy was misled and lied to. By your logic, I should vote for any candidate… heck, I could vote for Trump, cause maybe poor Trump is just surrounded by people lying to him and he shouldn’t take any responsibility for anything. Seriously, how many times are the corporate Democrats going to play the… “Who coulda known game?”

          Let’s approve this bill for a trillion dollars… oh, there was one person overseeing it and the President had authorization to fire them… hm, “Who coulda known?” You know it isn’t a good look when your excuses for your party is that they were too inept at the time to do their job.
