Well I guess maybe people change with maturity. He is certainly putting some good people into positions where they can do some good
Yeah I'm sure that comes as a huge comfort to the millions of people who's lives he ruined with his 1994 stop and frisk crime bill.
So offer a solution. Who has a chance that’s currently in the running to beat Trump in November?
Provide a name or walk away.
No I'm going to keep making it clear anybody who voted for Joe Biden in the 2020 primaries over the many superior options is a shit bag.
As I expected. NONE of you have ever provided a solution when asked, therefore it’s pretty easy to tell why you’re actually here.
You’re not fooling anyone.
We did provide a solution in 2020. Multiple. They were all rejected. It is not our responsibility to find a solution to a problem we didn't create.
How about you ask the people who voted for Joe Biden in the 2020 primaries what their plan is to get people to vote for him? If you're any indication the strategy is the same as always. "More finger wagging like the useless geriatrics we are!"
You talk a lot and still manage to say so little. What an amazing feat of… irrelevance.
You had NO solution in 2020. And you’re repeating the same tired shit this year. And like 2020, you’re going to disappear when the election is over and go back to arguing about video games.
NONE of you seem to have any solutions of what to do between the elections and only surface ever four years like a leap year but with ignorant catch phrases.
So you’ll understand when I say I don’t care if you forgive me for assuming your bad faith intentions here aren’t worthy of being taken seriously.
What the fuck are you talking about? The solution in the 2020 primaries was "don't vote for the procorporate establishment trash candidate". You all didn't like that plan so here we are.
I got you to admit what I needed you to admit. I have no more use for this discussion.
It will never be my responsibility to come up with a solution to a problem I didn't create. Nor am I morally obligated to give up my principles to a plan created by people who refused to consider alternatives. I won't be voting for Biden again and when he loses it will be the responsibility of Joe Biden and the people who voted for him in the 2020 primaries.
Depending on what the margin is he loses by, it could absolutely be your fault as well as those that stupidly stand with you on this ridiculous agenda of yours.
But you won’t be held accountable because like every election year, you people will vanish and resurface as victims of your own actions.
There is no way I am more responsible for Joe Biden losing the general election than Joe Biden himself.
There is no way I am more responsible for Joe Biden losing the general election than the people who voted for him in the 2020 primaries.
Stop trying to saddle me with responsibility for other people's terrible decisions. It's pathetic.
Okay Buddy.
