Right but it's consistent. He's going to keep pushing the election lie until he rallies another coup.
you need to get out of your media bubble, but hey the most pro-worker/pro-Union president in American history "can barely read from (a) teleprompter" vs. the attempt to overthrow the nation is funny guy
The irony of a horse complaining about having of two possible riders, the one that is weaker, is clearly lost on a lot of people. If Biden was as weak as you said, wouldn't that be a good thing for @buzz as Biden would also be less capeable of opressing @buzz? If the (according to him) more virile Trump was elected, he would have a more virile guy with his boot on his neck.
ya, but the other one is funny when he enacts his dictatorship
Most people don't want less oppression, they just want someone who will oppress the people they don't like instead of them. In fact, I think given the choices A) I get oppressed 2x but people I don't like get oppressed 3x where x is my current oppression, and B) everyone gets oppressed less, most people would choose A.
That's playing to lose, we people got to be rational and play to win. Just pursue our common interests. Everybody is advocating for themselves but regular people.
It's not even that he can't read. How much of that is his speech impediment?
Coveffe hambargee...... I know, woman camera tv........ that is the idiot you are going to vote but you claim that Biden couldn't read..... ohhh the irony.
So, no good argument there then. Good to see that you'd gladly vote for a traitor.
In jail
Remember, when you're feeling down and like nothing really matters, there's always a way out.
You're willing to vote for the fascist candidate because he's funny? Even if Biden is senile, at this point, I'd vote for a dead possum over Trump simply because the dead possum wouldn't try to overthrow the country.
assuming they're not a troll, i wouldn't be surprised that people would vote for trump because it gives them a chuckle to hurt other people because remember "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." President Lyndon B. Johnson
Trump has much bigger problems reading, and even greater problems with understanding what he read.
Even if I granted your premise here (and I don't), Trump
and 
. He needs to be in a hospital, not in the Oval Office. (Preferably a prison hospital.)
He IS a senile alternative
Probably the more senile alternative, though our political class is staying in power way too long.
My dude, have you heard Trump speak lately? The thinks he ran against Obama in 2016, that Obama is Joe Biden's boss, that Jeb Bush got us into Iraq, and that World War 2 hasn't happened yet. My point is, if you're going to try and use the "Biden is senile" talking point, every single criticism also applies to Trump. Trump is only 4 years younger than Biden, which would make him exactly as old as Biden was when he started his first term. Not exactly the picture of youth or virility.
A wise man once told me "Never let perfect be the enemy of good.". I understand the apathy of never feeling like you are represented by the leaders you vote for, but the perfect candidate will probably never come around in your lifetime and you will always have to settle for what you've been dealt. If you sit down and evaluate the candidates rationally, the choice is obvious. There's an absolute mountain of achievements Biden has raked in during his first term. Trump, not so much. Plus the whole attempted coup thing should make anybody think twice about giving Trump a second term, full stop.
Who would you vote for, if you had your choice of candidates? Because I can tell you that if your answer isn't "Kamala Harris", you're going to be suuuuper disappointed if Biden does actually die in office.
Best hope is that both of them die before the elections, all the traitors in the government who supported Trump's bold-faced coup get put up against the wall, and we implement ranked-choice voting. None of that is going to happen, so the best we can hope for is putting trump's ass in a orange jumpsuit made for someone who is actually 6'9 and 215lbs before the election.
