I just tell myself they don't even believe shit like this but have to say it to support the team. It's less painful than believing all the Republicans are this clueless.

Disappointed in you, b_t.

Never imagined a Democratic candidate saying he'd veto universal healthcare, but here we are. All he has to do is say he won't veto universal healthcare and I'll vote for him. Not a big ask.

But even if he does, I'll still loathe him, because I loathed him before and I have no clue why that should've changed just because he won. Do we all become Yankees fans when they win a World Series?

Why not just have non-lethal weapons used and guns only as a last resort? Tasers, bean bag shot guns etc can work to stop someone much easier than the "shoot 'em in the kneecaps" approach Biden is talking about here.

He's "tough on crime" Joe and he will always be that. He's near 80. People don't change much in general, and they DEFINITELY don't change after 65. He is who he says he is. He is who he has been his entire career. We should believe him.

If you're looking at this situation of police brutality and thinking Joe represents some kind of change, I've got a bridge to sell you.

These politicians know what to do when they have something they want. Joe is no different.

Is this someone who actually has a record of caring about police fascism? Be fucking honest, he's not. As president he will do basically nothing to curtail any of this. It's a fucking joke. I know some of you want to believe for catharsis, but enjoy your own delusions, don't try to recruit others into them.

When he's reading someone else's words we feel inspired. When he says his own words he's the same hard-on-crime pro-cop piece of shit he's always been.

 

[Pig Bellmont 8691]

Biden gives inspiring and needed speech in Philadelphia while the current president gassed peaceful protesters for a photo op and b_t’s takeaway is that *Biden* is the piece of shit here who is incapable of addressing systemic police reform. I’m not surprised by this trolling. But it comes across as pathetic 

[bad_teammate 13132]

Am I actually wrong about Joe Biden?

I get that Trump is far, far, FAR worse. I get that. That's why I will never vote for Trump and will probably end up voting for Biden once some lackey convinces him to say he won't veto universal healthcare.

I will eat the shit sandwich. Do I also have to tell you it's good?

loathe away.  but most of us didn't loathe him then, so we don't loathe him now.  he was always a "meh" candidate.  there were many candidates who were more unlikable than biden, though i don't think i loathed any of them.  maybe bloomberg, but he hardly counts.  you seemed to loathe many then, and continue to now, that's just who you are.  in 2019, biden was meh, and i wanted trump to lose.  it's 2020 and i feel the exact same way.  refusing to constantly shitpile on biden doesn't = being a biden cheerleader.  there are very few of those around, i think you'd agree.

typically when you go after biden, people defend him in one way or another.  then you tell them there should be a biden booster thread.  these people are refusing to pile on with you, and you're telling them to start a sunshine pumping thread.  this is what i am talking about here.

is it for political discussion?  the last paragraph of my first reply to you was me saying "i personally have no problem with what you're saying or doing, but stop bitching about people who do." 

by constantly shitting on biden, you're doing one of two things (1) trying to hold biden accountable and push him into the leader you want him to be or (2) shaming people here who are happy to vote for him.  i understand you're trying to do (1) but many here think you're mostly doing (2) and people don't like that.

biden is old and stubborn and is unlikely to change as a person.  so he needs to change his approach to policy and leadership.  he's already acknowledged that he's a placeholder or a bridge towards the future of dem leadership.  he's working with bernie, he's working with warren.  he's doing about as much as you could hope or expect someone like him to do.

Most of us Republicans and shitlibs think it's somewhere in the range of "barely edible" to "average".

I'm hard pressed to think of anyone who posts regularly on the CR who would describe Biden as a sandwich as "good".

Please trust me that you can't be any more passionate about universal healthcare coming to America than I am — but l'll still be voting for Joe Biden without a second thought and you should too. Voting for him doesn't mean you can't loathe him, nor does it mean you are betraying your principles. I'm upset he won the nomination but I'm not going to leave the top of the ballot blank when so much is at stake. So, so much.

I hope you change your mind.

I respect your view, but I dispute the Internet culture thing being a factor; that's way too convenient an explanation for people who get professionally mad at me online. It's way too clean. Healthcare is my #1 issue. 

There's really no point in spilling ink over it. I've been perfectly clear for months and it's not changing. I'll vote for a rapist. I'll vote for a war-monger. I'll vote for a corporate stooge. I'll vote for a pro-cop bully. I'm not going to vote for an opponent of universal healthcare.

If it's irrational then it is irrational, my vote doesn't matter anyway.

And Bernie doesn't have anything to do with it. That's just a way for people whose vocation is being mad at me to troll. Don't buy into it.

Whether or not I have personally eliminated voting for Trump doesn't change the math of the vote itself.

So no, the net effect of voting for Trump and not voting for Trump are not the same. Do the math again. You could argue that a non-vote is something like a half-vote for Trump, but it's literally not the same mathematically. It makes zero sense.

BT votes Trump: Biden 200, Trump 201
BT doesn't vote: Biden 200, Trump 200
BT votes Biden: Biden 201, Trump 200

Eliminating the top option doesn't yield the same result in either direction. A vote for Trump from me means Biden needs 2. A non-vote means he needs 1. A vote for Biden means Biden needs 0.

You're using bad logic and worse rhetoric.

You're such a pedant.

In an instance where you're a literal tiebreaking vote, yes. But when 45% has a hard on for Trump, 40% for Biden, and there are 15% like you, a non-vote is a vote for Trump. I'll let you guess which one is more representative of reality.

Be better.

This does not make sense. The math was worked out above; a non-vote isn't a vote for Trump.

What you guys are trying to say is that a non-vote FEELS like a vote for Trump. Which is fine, but don't conflate how things make you feel with what actually makes sense.

Horseshit.

“The words a president says matter. So when the President stands up and divides people all the time, you're going to get the worst of us to come out. The worst in us all to come out,” Biden said Thursday evening during a virtual town hall.

“Do we really think this is as good as we can be as a nation? I don't think the vast majority of people think that. There are probably anywhere from 10 to 15% of the people out there, they're just not very good people. But that's not who we are. The vast majority of people are decent. We have to appeal to that and we have to unite people, bring them together."

Who are the people he's talking about? What does he mean?

He can say anything and it will never matter. I would like for my side to be better than that.

It was an unnecessary comment.  He could have not touched the topic and said something direct about citizen behavior, but still diplomatic overall.

But at this point, Biden looks like a weak chump if he glides over this and doesn't acknowledge this while there are citizens and cops being video recorded treating their fellow citizens like they're not human beings.
