    cmon Jill, that implies he had marbles to begin with. We don't have to look for to see he's had a hard on for Israel his entire career.

      Not just Israel too. He's said some interesting stuff

      "When it comes to issues like abortion, amnesty, and acid, I’m about as liberal as your grandmother. I don’t like the Supreme Court decision on abortion. I think it went too far. I don’t think that a woman has the sole right to say what should happen to her body," -Joe Biden, 1974

      "I think the Democratic Party could stand a liberal George Wallace — someone who's not afraid to stand up and offend people, someone who wouldn't pander, but would say what the American people know in their gut is right," -Joe Biden, 1975

      "I've had a great relationship. In Delaware, the largest growth of population is Indian Americans, moving from India. You cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I'm not joking." -Joe Biden, 2006

        I really wish the Green Party was a worthwhile 3rd option in the US. They are far from our Hexbearian Leftist thought, but they are least sorta kinda not total garbage (in terms of their platform).

          I've been punching one in for them the last few times I was able. I don't even believe in voting, at least on a national level. It's easy to do where I live, so I do it for down ballot stuff.

          I'm interested in what the "uncommitted" movement will switch to after the last primaries. If we are going to "protest vote" for any reason, it should be coordinated. Or I'll write in my cat.

            Same here, Howie Hawkins and Jill Stien were my picks in my last two elections I think. It sucks knowing that pretty much every leftist thinker ever has some form of "Real talk, voting is kinda wack bro". However still i wish there were meaningful alternatives to "Our party will make your life worse and we are Red" and "Our party will make your life worse and we are Blue".

              I guess I mostly do it as a gesture of good faith. I wish we lived in a world where democracy was possible, and everyone was on the level. That being said, I will not vote for anyone who has a position I can't support. I just won't check a box in that category.

              I'm so glad it only takes me like five minutes to go vote. I can't imagine the kind of person that would go stand in line all day just to punch Genocide Joe in, like they singlehandedly saved democracy.

        Yeah but why bother going on about biden cognitive decline when his current actions are exactly in line with everything he's done as an elected official throughout his career

    This isn't early alzheimer's like Terry Pratchett. This is pretty on-time alzheimer's.
