Even Wapo thinks Biden is a liar. This is just more fluff, but still.

We're downvoting because of the weird fucking fetish you all have for Hunter Biden, while ignoring the billion dollar Saudi deals with kushner and Chinese patents for Ivanka.

Going to pretend trumps kids didn't use his position to enrich themselves?

That, and nobody likes Biden to begin with, not even leftists. Posts like this are just beating a dead horse.

Yeah, so? He got elected president and seems to be at the front to run for the democrats again.

He got elected president

Because the alternative was significantly worse.

and seems to be at the front to run for the democrats again.

Because the status quo has a higher chance of success. But with that said, I hate it too.

I disagree, but you don't see me crying that people make trump look bad. Just because a candidate met the standard of "better than the opposition", it doesn't make them worth defending.

Higher chance doesn't mean a guarantee. Maybe if people stopped trying to shut down everything that makes Biden look bad, we could get someone else. Like, what does it matter how important it actually is, let's boost up every possible hit piece that makes Biden and his family look unfit to hold office. Force him out of politics.

I'm not defending Biden. I hate him too.

Higher chance doesn’t mean a guarantee.

I never said it did?

I only shut down the stupid shit, the rest I don't care about.

Why shut down any of it?

[–] PizzaMan 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Because stupid shit is stupid shit. I care about what is true not "my side"

If you really want better candidates then help get money out of politics and get some RCV/approval voting going.

good thing you don't matter at all

[–] PizzaMan 3 points 1 year ago

The hatred that comes with conservatism is the reason why it is so unpopular. I suggest you look inward.

What does truth matter if you can't accomplish anything? You'd rather just sit there and pat yourself on the back for being the bigger man while while everything you actually want out of politics gets thrown aside by the people willing to do what it takes?

I'm not alone, nor are my goals impossible.

everything you actually want out of politics gets thrown aside

While not all of the candidates I have voted for have succeeded, a number of them have.

@MomoTimeToDie @PizzaMan Do you not watch the news & what’s being said by his fellow Democrats both politicians & voters? No one believes he’s capable of completing a second term.

For the record, China has not paid me anything but if they did, that would be fine.
