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

Take their money, jump in the ocean.

I'm ok with *marching* them into the ocean but will take the assist in getting rid of trump first

Sounds good to me.

very much a Major Barbara situation

My worry is grounded in antipathy to encouraging the project of rehabbing the Republican party post-Trump, which I feel like TLP is at least partially designed to do. IOW I don't agree with "These ads are unequivocally a good thing" because I think "These ads are situationally a good thing"

ok but I mean the ads only happening and being discussed in the context of this situation

everyone in the party is going to be tasked w trying to "rehab" it once/if they lose

I know other posters expressed much stronger opinions earlier, but tbc like a lot of the ~disagreements~ on ilx politics threads, for me this is more like "I feel mild irritation when I see this retweeted/praised on my timeline" not "this is a profound betrayal and I am shaking with rage"

this is a profound betrayal and I am shaking with rage

^ mods can u autoreplace the above statement for every time someone writes the word "Biden"

lol

this is a profound betrayal and I am shaking with rage

New board description plz.

Harlan Ellison's best

everyone in the party is going to be tasked w trying to "rehab" it once/if they lose

They tried to make GOP go to rehab, Trump said no no no

his tears'll dry on their own

GOP is a losing game

i am in favor of detrumpifying the GOP personally

Sure, and Kellyanne Conway's husband, the guy who picked Sarah Palin for VP, and a former Rudy Guiliani campaign manager are definitely the dream team who will make it happen

they cheated themselves, like i knew they would

told u they were trouble

Detrumpifying the GOP requires a time machine, a shotgun and a list of every John Birch Society member circa 1958.

Are Trump’s new GOP establishment consultants behind the nickname pivot? https://t.co/QIKMZ1wLIy pic.twitter.com/WKiLO3AUXb

+1 for swampbutt joe

1) Where did he come from?
2) Where did he go?

lol

i hear some people saying that if it wasn't for swampy joe, you'd have been married a long time ago; lots of people saying that

from the notepad:

Hoppy Joe (make people think he's a drunk?)
Papi Joe (is this racist enough or no?)
Moppy Joe (basically Obama's janitor?)
Be-Boppy Joe (old guy, listens to DIzzy and Bird?)

"I call him Joe-dici because he's been unable to adapt to the demands of the modern market of the 2000's"

i always think of him as Muppet Joe since he took a pic with them and has had the big banks' fist up his ass since birth

😮

In a new ad @JoeBiden mixes footage of Black Lives Matter rallies, the COVID-19 outbreak, & scary images of Trump together to declare "Fidel, Chavez, Maduro, & Trump" are cut from the same cloth

Why then has Trump intensified attacks on Cuba & Venezuela during his presidency? pic.twitter.com/1hajo941Z6

If you don’t like the commentary you can still watch this stunning ad.

Biden should make a hologram of Reagan his VP.

unbelievable

how fucking completely tone deaf can ppl be

just curious how "sanders" didn't make the cut

Well, it's true: Trump hasn't yet ordered the extralegal killing of citizens by firing squad like Castro.

worldview be damned

Trump is all talk, not fit to tie Fidel's shoelaces

NASCAR dads, empathy moms... too bad there’s no short catchy phrase mad that their grandpa lost his slaves or had his zinc mines expropriated.

Biden was also (I believe?) the only Democratic candidate who referred to the CCP's concentration camps for Uyghurs, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz etc. in Xinjiang as "concentration camps." https://t.co/tw2NU0AoGG

WHY ARE THE TWEETS SO BIG NOW

hard times

Bernie Sanders Senator, Vermont
China is engaged in a program of mass internment and cultural genocide against the Uighur people.

castro wanted the soviets to bomb the us during the cuban missile crisis which is worse than anything trump's even been accused of

By a couple inches

Trump just wants the Russians to put bounties on our troops without consequences, and help him steal another election.

castro wanted the soviets to bomb the us during the cuban missile crisis which is worse than anything trump's even been accused of

trump is fine with a million uighurs in concentration camps

world leaders, whatcha gonna do

We were actively trying to have Castro killed, hard to fathom why he might have considered us an enemy.

are we having this argument?

Both things are true. And for the most part Cubans have had nothing but dictators and American rubber stampers for a century.
