    It really shows how out of touch they are when they think the only problem voters have with Biden is that he’s old

      They know it's not the only problem voters have, they intentionally frame it as an age issue to take away from the actual grievances.

          Haaahahaaha.

          I entirely forgot all about what I called "her campaign mode". I mean - as a form of self protection - I wiped it 100% from my memory. I didn't even realize that still I started to listen to clip. I only remembered that I really didn't like her voice and her manner at all.

          When I hear that voice and she's making those faces it's worse than plain old torture. It's as if I'm undergoing a multitude of tortures happening all at once. I'm wearing a hood and somebody is pushing one of those tower cheese graters across my face, a second torturer is piercing me with a nail gun, a third torturer is brutally smashing my bare feet, a fourth torturer has large dogs that are barking and snarling right near me, horrible audio being pumped out of speakers at ear splitting volume, a fifth torturer is putting salt in my wounds... and that's only the tip of the ice berg.

          It really is incredible that she was the dem candidate. When she's in campaign mode - who wants to be within 1,000 feet of her? It's fucking horrible.

    and B. Lost to Donald fucking Trump

    is not exactly high praise in my book

    Why should I give a shit about Trump's million felony charges when Democrats clearly don't? Every US president in my lifetime has been an unrepentant war criminal, and Trump will never face any material consequences for any crimes he committed as president. If the Democrats seriously believe Trump is an existential threat to American "democracy", it's entirely within their power to disqualify him from running, imprison him for life, or execute him without any input from congress or the courts.

      Yup their message about how Trump has broken a bunch h of laws has been really undercut by them breathlessly defending the last three people who refused to do anything about him.

      "They only get one shot at this which is why the smart move is to never do anything, why isn't there any enthusiasm for us?"

          Few thing shave done more to solidify my hate for liberals than them screaming at me I'm just a Russian troll when I said, over and over, that lifelong reoublican spooks weren't going to do anything to a republican president.

          And then 6 months later the same people getting mad those Republicans are doing exactly what I said they would.

          And then getting exactly as mad and screaming at me the next time it happens 3 weeks later.

          Liberals love losing while claiming the moral high ground making them not only completely useless but also totally insufferable.

            It's not about getting results for liberals. They just need to look like they tried. That's why all those lists of Biden's accomplishments are all stuff he tried and failed at, or worse, stuff he only said he was going to do.

      Even if Trump is guilty of every crime the Democrats accuse him of, all of that pales in comparison to Biden’s war crimes in Gaza, and it’s not even close.

      For the Iowa farmer it was both a question about his advanced age and the alleged nepotism hire of Hunter in Ukraine. Biden said what sounded like "look fat" but his campaign claimed he said "look, facts...".
      He did call him a damn liar and too old to vote for him though.

      He also argued with a factory worker about his 2A stance and called him full of shit.
