Biden’s voice was strong and clear, and the crowd was far warmer to him as an outgoing president

      People were so pissed off at Jon Stewart because he was talking about it and suggesting Biden drop out. Really made me realize exactly how big the culty echo chamber can be on the left too.

      I’m always blue but my god let’s not pretend Biden just “always had a stutter” or other bs excuses. The dude is old. He can have good moments but it’s pretty obvious he’s on the decline and isn’t fit for another four year term.

        I don’t know anyone except Republicans who would consider Biden or his supporters “the left”…

        They’re dyed in wool neoliberals that supportered Hillary and Bill before her, and Biden’s been with the Clintons forever, he wrote the 92 “child super predator” crime bill that fucked everything up. There’s not many left, but they’re loud as hell anytime anyone doesn’t say their candidate is the bestest and prettiest candidate ever.

        If you’re not 100% with them. You’re against them as much as if you’re voting trump, and they’ll say anything in the moment that defends their ingroup. Even if it contradicts what they just said

        “Horseshoe theory” is bullshit, but unsurprisingly the most conservative wing of every political party act very similar.

        They don’t want loyalty, they want unquestionable support and zero questions just in general.

        Speaking personally, I was scared to death of a Trump presidency again, and there was nothing I could do about it other than support the guy that was twilighting on national TV. I felt there was no other option in June. It was awful.
