      Seriously generally after listing bad things about a person you throw in a couple positive ones if you argument is that they're a positive overall.

      Look he sucks, can't complete a sentance and is probablly gonna die but he's the best candidate because I said so.

    What happened to bernie in 2020 broke me in a big way, like "i dont believe in the efficacy of democracy anymore" broke - but I knew he was irrelevant the second his campaign ended, and this does kind of affirm that.

    I enjoy the back-handedness of what he's saying, it's like perfunctory and absolutely a non-defense of biden, but it just depresses me that this jackass isn't president instead and every time he speaks it just reminds me that democracy is fake and that all the insufferable buzzkill anti-electoralists were completely right about goddamn everything

      Reminder that liberal democracy does not hold a monopoly on the concept of democracy. There are genuine democracies out there, such as in Cuba.

      It's okay, if he'd gotten in as president he'd be even more compromised and would set back socialism for decades

    "He is the best candidate the Democrats have for a variety of reasons" is such an amazing own against the Democrats that it's hilarious how it keeps getting repeated.

      "The best we've got is the senile fossil that's committing genocide right now and has supported everything that's made this country into the shithole it currently is for half a century. Anyway, vote for us or democracy ends or something, this is The Most Important Election Of Our Lifetime™️."

    I'm not aware that anyone thinks that Joe Biden is the best candidate in the history of the world, or that he's an ideal candidate

    Is this guy for real? There's a whole entourage of delusional Blue MAGA Biden stans out there who literally believe that he has delivered on all the things he promised and that he is the most successful president ever.

    Also, fuck off Bernie.

    He works so hard for the democratic party that has screwed him over at every opportunity.

      He gets to be chairman of the health committee and play act real power in the capital of empire! He's living large, look how much he gets to be on TV!

    He's the best candidate the Democrats have for a variety of reasons.

    I keep hearing that but I never hear what those reasons are.

    And if brain melting genocide Joe is the absolute best candidate in the whole party, the party is pretty fucked, even beyond this election.

    I swear Democrats are still operating on trauma from the 1968-1988 elections. They tried someone they considered slightly further left? He lost so we can't do that again. They had the sitting president drop out? His replacement lost so we can't do that again. They're so focused on that time period that they don't look at what caused their recent losses. It's not even about ideology or protecting capital or whatever, they could just swap in another ghoul. There's no good reason to keep Biden other than "we lost the last time we did it (never mind that that was 56 years ago)".

    Also they use "unprecedented" as a crutch, as if unprecedented means bad. Unprecedented actions can be good strategies but they don't want to believe that.

      The NYT and friends drive me crazy with this.

      If things aren’t going well, that’s exactly when you do things differently! That’s the whole point!

      Therapist: You should try this new thing

      Me: Sorry that’s totally unprecedented

      Therapist: Yes

    I want to see what falls out of the pinata when "unprecedented" actions occur within the democratic party.

    maybe I am naive, but I don't see how it could get anymore shitty or undemocratic than the ossified coronation & pageantry machine that it is today.

    monkeywrench this thing and let it die or change radically.

    He's really phoning it in. "That guy sucks and his brain is cooked and nobody likes him. But he's good because of reasons that I can't come up with right now. You should totally vote for him."

    King Cuck returns. What a sad end for Bernie. Went out with a wet fart while still trailing behind FDR and Henry Wallace in the based department.
