Literally who said anything about Bernie?

The "Biden Too Old" drama is actually extremely relevant to the Supreme Court / Trump dictator conversations. The Democrats keep annointing flawed, white centrist candidates with 1970s politics who everyone is already kinda sick of. That's how we got stuck with Trump in 2016. Build a bench, ffs!

Notice how everyone is somehow talking about Biden Too Old right now, and NOT about how the Supreme Court just legalized Trump being a dictator for life and gutted the administrative state, and how the Heritage Foundation is now issuing terrorist threats? Think that might not be an accident?

Hillary was a terrible candidate in 2016, even more than she was in 2008 — and anyone who pointed out this obvious fact had Blue MAGA people screaming "sexist" at them. Blue MAGA spent the last five years screaming "ageist" at anyone who correctly pointed out that Biden is pretty obviously shaky.

Unthinkable in American politics. (Not the Nazi part, the withdrawing part)

that sounds like reasonable harm reduction

*taps the sign*

There is precedent. 'President Donald Trump commended the U.S. Marshals for shooting Reinoehl, describing it as "retribution", and claiming to have personally "sent in" the U.S. Marshals to "get" Reinoehl during the first presidential debate with Joe Biden.'

Killings of Aaron Danielson and Michael Reinoehl - Wikipediaen.m.wikipedia.org

My political opinion is that direct action gets the goods, the rest is (at best) harm reduction.

A lot of liberal strategizing is based on the correct assumption that liberals won't hold their politicians accountable in meaningful ways as long as there is always a Greater Evil™ to worry about. If there were no Republican Party, the Dems would have to create one.

I honestly believe that a lot of conservative strategizing is based on the correct assumptions that liberals would never be as ruthless as they are.

She's an incompetent, corrupt, and dishonest politician.

I disagree. Even Feinstein had plenty of advanced warning when she knew she should have retired. RBG certainly did.

Will this not lead to antibiotic resistance the same way it has in cattle?

If you criticize Biden's obvious mental decline, you are being ageist and ableist. You're also being racist and sexist because it's clear that you don't trust Kamala Harris to take over.

I see a bunch of Blue MAGA folks made it over here from the other site

empty seats can't melt supreme court justices

Obama's last election was nearly 12 years ago. The party has had plenty of time to build a bench

It's the EGO of these geriatric fucks that gets me. Biden, RBG, Feinstein, all of em. and the entire establishment knows it but no Dem wants to go on the record and say hey, it's time for the Cryptkeeper to retire

Biden does not need to drop out of the race now. He needed to drop out a year ago. Nobody in the caucus has the courage to speak the very plain truth. They'd rather lose 2024 than to risk the wrath of Blue MAGA and fuck their own career down the road

Any good Biden debate memes?

Sheen's was pretty mediocre. Nicholson's was terrible (and he overacted). Damon and Wahlberg's are real. DiCaprio, his accent was surprisingly good. He could almost pass for a native

There was a short period of time where Boston movies were big. Some of the accents in that movie were pretty atrocious too
