Joe Biden, Senator from Citibank (oops, DELAWARE), to Run for President

I'm reassured we all hate Joe Biden.

this ain't the Joe Abidin' thread

Biden's attempting to pivot from the primary message of "Fuck you. Go vote for someone else," to the general election message of "If you don't like it vote for Trump, assholes."

milo, your thread is too long

Trump and Biden, in unison, at the first presidential Zoom debate: "What do you have to lose- ...!... JINX! 1-2-3-4-56789tenyouowemeacoke!!!! ahhahaa!"

Maybe it’s good that Biden is comfortable saying un-PC things as it signals he isn’t part of the scolding, educated, coastal liberal class. It is this population voters really hate, and not just white voters.

Being “out of touch” is probably good in a country where everyone, for different reasons, seems to despise the zeitgeist. That’s almost his whole thing, a “return to normalcy.”

I think his nomination is a tragedy for many reasons but I don’t think this kind of thing will sink him.

Dear White People; Gonna need y'all to sit this one out. Black folks who have been black for long enough can identify the difference between an awkward ally and a virulent racist. We good.

Gosh, that settles that then.

putting side the "ain't black" words, the problem is he responded to a black man's concerns about his community—the last chunk of the interview was asking him about his involvement w/ mandatory minimum sentencing in the 80s—by saying "if you can't tell the difference btw me and Trump..."

which is patronizing and condecending, and Charlemagne shouldn't have had to say in response to that "it has nothing to do w/ Trump, it's something to do w/ what I want for my community" but hey that's what goes on itt all day long

Biden-Harris 2020 "Take It Or Leave It"

You got to have some f*cking nerve to say that shit with a whole smile on your face like you just hit a clutch shot at the buzzer.#YouAintBlack

tbf Biden's explanation for how mandatory minimum sentencing came about was a good one and I hadn't heard it explained that way b4

I vote and I like us a lot

As a rootless cosmopolitan coastal elite latte sipping Goddamn Jew liberal I don’t particularly care about what the supposed un-PC majority thinks of me!

none of us would be elected president

lol every day i read the threads here and think 'thank g-d these ppl aren't in charge"

middle-American and Southern and rust-belt voters don't think of me at all, let alone think anything about me, but I think they should all have health care, housing, transport infrastructure and access to multiple sources of free press

but not guns, nor billionaires to stan

fuck your freedoms, I guess

yeah, things are much better with the guys we have now

mods, how many flagged posts does Trump have?

NEW: Former VP Joe Biden just dialed into a U.S. Black Chamber call and addressed his remarks to Charlamagne tha God. Biden said, "I shouldn't have been such a wise guy. I shouldn't have been so cavalier...I have never, ever taken the African American community for granted."

— Yamiche Alcindor (@Yamiche) May 22, 2020

that's a good apology, to be honest. i'll bet this is a net plus for him.

I shouldn't have been such a wise guy/I shouldn't have been so cav-a-lieeeeeer

i'll bet this is a net plus for him

55d chess baby

I was not expecting the Tara Reade story to collapse as quickly as it has this week.

“I have never, ever taken the African American community for granted” O RLY

He gets in a good, reasoned, appropriately contrite statement but he just can’t end it there. He has to throw in this self-serving bullshit at the end. He can’t help himself.

Narcissists gonna narciss, I guess

Joe Biden has always been a racist piece of shit, news at 11.

Joe Biden sucks.

I want to send a bag of dog poop to every asshole who’s talked about the White Men of the Left and then lined up to kiss this asshole’s wingtips.

let alone kissing that wingtip's asshoe

in case anyone is curious about what would make vote 3d party -- or not at all -- for president, it is this. and i am saying this as someone who would vote for lieberman if the republican was much worse. everytime you use yer credit cards, you pay for this assclown's campaign.
that said, i anticipate that he won't even come close to winning the nomination.

this thread hasn't changed since its first post nearly fifteen years ago

Sometimes instead of reading this thread I watch this

xp that's because joe biden hasn't changed, never has, never will, jack

Untrue, he's definitely encountered some cognitive decline over the past decade and a half

That Aubrey Plaza clip is really funny...Honest question: is she parodying that kind of whatever-spaciness, or is that how she really is? Either way it's funny.

That is fairly mild from her - I think she's been this way since she had a stroke aged 20. There's a good compilation of talkshow clips on youtube called "Aubrey Plaza is really WEIRD and...AWKWARD. I love it!" Anyway she is brilliant and better than Joe Biden in every way.

Fast work. Trump campaign is already selling "You ain't black" shirts for $30. https://t.co/6ZouwVf37H

Hopefully some MAGAs get the shit kicked out of them for wearing that.

The only good thing about that cringe-worthy Biden comment is that it may corner him into picking Kamala Harris (or Abrams, but I'm still hoping for Harris).

Condoleeza Rice probably isn't doing much these days.

lol

Condoleeza has a sweet seat on the College Football Playoffs selection board. I'mm going to take a wild guess and say she's got several other lucrative sinecures, sitting on a variety of Fortune 500 corporate boards. Those corporations tend to stockpile ex-cabinet level 'retirees' like self-isolating Costco shoppers stockpile toilet paper.

condoleeza rice no, but susan rice I would be happy with

milo, your thread is too long
