Do you seriously think Biden's age is more important than allowing the US to fall into a Nazi dictatorship?
No. His age is a minor thing. It's (almost) everything ELSE about him that should preclude him from being the only alternative to fascism.
He's for sure the lesser evil compared to Trump, by miles, and I hope everyone who can votes for him, but that doesn't mean that he's not still an evil.
An extremely ambitious politician from Pennsylvania doesn't just move to tiny little Delaware for reasons unrelated to it being the most corporation-friendly state in the union and "the Senator from MBNA" is no exception.
STFU. Name another presidency in the last 50 years that has been more progressive than Biden. We’ll fucking wait. SMH.
That of Obama and even that of Clinton, when you adjust for the general public being much less progressive AND much less informed in the 90s than now.
That Biden made a good cabinet appointment or two on the advice of people more progressive than himself and his PR department hailed the infrastructure bill as saving the environment (even though it stipulates a manifold increase in federal fossil fuel leases before any new renewable energy programs are allowed to even BEGIN and privatizes more public infrastructure than it funds) doesn't mean that Biden, a conservative barely if at all to the left of Joe Manchin, is progressive.
In conclusion, YOU are the one who needs to STFU and stop drinking the neoliberal kool-aid.

Go away uneducated simpleton.
Your opinion pieces are not fact, boot licker. Now leave me alone.
Your opinion is from the bottom of the boot. At least the opinion pieces have references. Please include some of your own or STFU. I’ll wait.
