Did he do it for the memes?

    I remember when Biden was picked as Obama’s VP, and everyone laughed because he’s known to make gaffes like this.

    Obviously, there’s a lot of scrutiny on him, but let’s not pretend it’s all because he’s too old. It’s just Biden being Biden, and while he’s probably too old for the job, that’s what happens when you don’t impose upper age limits…

      It’s not just “biden being biden” by a longshot. He is 81 and significantly worse.

      We are rightly worried he’s going to lose against trump.

          His voting base doesn’t care if they’re led by an unfit leader.

          Be better than them.

            The top comment in this thread is “yeah Biden might be a vegetable, but vote blue no matter who.”

            How exactly are lefties any better? Your leader is losing his mind, clearly not fit to lead the country, but you’ll back him anyway.

              Biden and the Dems are right wing?

              Leftists don’t support them. “Centrists” do.

            The choices are

            • Be “better” and help Trump win, or
            • Help Trump lose

            Seems like an easy choice to me.

              Even as a vegetable, Biden’s administration wouldn’t let the country fall into a kleptocracy. And that’s enough for me.

                Letting the country fall into a kleptocracy is exactly what Biden and his democratic party handlers are doing with their insistence of “nothing would fundamentally change” by pushing through the weakest presidential candidates and placing the status quo over actual progress.

      “Um… let me be clear. My former VP pick has always sucked. He’s not old. He’s simply got a head full of busted marbles and wasn’t employable anywhere outside of the US Senate. That’s why I endorsed him to run in 2020. You people disgust me. You deserve what you get.”
