Biden has the chance to do the coolest thing. He wont because hes the most tepid person in the most tepid party in the country but, I'd love to be wrong.

Such a good word to describe Biden. Tepid. Like a beer that's been sitting while i worked outside, or maybe the last sip of coffee. Not the best, but better than nothing.

We have very different opinions about the fundamental nature of "old, room temperature, completely flat" beer, if nothing else.

If you just worked for 4h in 30°C weather, believe me it is better than nothing.

Luckily, in this day and age, clean water is both cheap and plentiful. Unless you're in one of the places where it isn't. But in that case I doubt you have access to room temperature beer, either.

Wasn't this not really true, historically? Didn't most societies have a bunch of alcoholism specifically because it was one of the only forms of clean water available, or am I mistaken?

Well, I guess that's why I said "in this day and age" and not "always."

Not if we're following the analogy. Warm beer, or bleach. Or dying of thirst. Those are your options.

That is a fair assessment

Better than bleach I guess
