      Yeah…

      I said it made him unfit for office.

      I thought I posted an article about it back then too, but I was thinking about this other time I was for holding people to a higher standard.

      Edit:

      We can’t excuse shit from our own politicians, just because Republicans excuse it from theirs.

      I stand by what I said 10 months ago in that thread when someone besides Biden displayed the same symptoms:

      This didn’t happen overnight, if it’s this bad now then her judgement has been compromised for a long time.

      We need term limits, because once these (completely normal) mental changes start happening, the person will almost always react with aggression and refuse to ever step down.

          Are you saying it made McConnell unfit but not Biden?

          Or that it made neither unfit for office?

        Let me know how being morally superior to Republicans works out for you. If you think this Biden is any worst than 2020 Biden ya dumb.

          Why are you arguing from the stance that Biden is the best path to beating trump when every indication is Biden will lose and Biden himself described it last night as a “coin toss”, said he’d be fine if he lost, and refused to answer if anyone else can beat Trump?

          And can you try to only reply to a comment once?

            if they have two distinct responses, why shouldn’t they leave two distinct comments?

            No. I’m saying you already lost. Id rather not vote than vote for Harris or any of those other no name corporate shill losers is what “moderates” are going to say just like in 2016. You better stand up for Biden, and he better stand up for America.

              Mate, the only result that I would consider as losing is a Republican president.

              The moderates aren’t going to pull a PUMA again, because there’s no way the DNC is nominating a progressive or even anyone besides Kamala.

              They’ll fall in line, progressives will give her the benefit of the doubt like we gave Biden last time.

              And regardless of what she’ll be like as a president and her abysmal favor ability numbers, trump is shit enough she can beat him. I don’t think Biden can, but if we’re stuck with him and he manages to pull it off, I’ll still count that as a win.

              Just like I don’t think Kamala is the best candidate to beat trump, or the best president. Standards are low and it’s not recent. I’ve literally spent decades just voting against Republicans, this shit ain’t new for progressives.

                Lol just like everyone fell in line to vote for Hillary, it’s silly to think a reality TV host and known conman would win. I think you are underestimating two things Kamala is a woman and a minority. Wow all those decades of “progressive” voting and we are still standing here.

                  She’s like the one example of an actual Dem.that would do worse than Biden…

                  And one of the main real complaints about her, was her refusal to listen to voters. The same thing Biden is doing now.

                  Kamala is a woman and a minority

                  Look, I’m not here to argue for Kamala. Personally I think she’ll be a bad president, and they’ll pull the same no primary shit in 2028 if she runs this year.

                  But at this point it’s just about beating trump.

                  I know people like videos more than articles these days, so check this out:

                  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Jic_uL3-q4

                  It’s Cody Johnston, one of the OG Cracked editors from when Cracked was good.

                  He doesn’t want Kamala either, but he makes the most convincing argument that she can beat Trump. And realistically I don’t see the DNC picking anyone else.

              Think about it bro, if the average voter was aware and what was at stake, they would elect a dead rotting carcass instead of Trump. But they fuckin don’t know they are to busy going to work trying to feed their kids while companies post profits quarterly nonstop.
