    So he’s saying the trajectory over the next few months is a result of decisions already made

    He didn't explicitly say that, but guess you could assume that, which is a fair point.

    Although the reality is that we actually can do something to get the virus under control in the next few months. But that's not something Biden will do imo.

    It's kind of like when he said during the BLM protests that he wanted to give more money to the police. When he was criticized for that, libs would say "oh but that's not what he meant, he meant xyz" (even a friend of mine told me that when I brought it up). But the truth was simple, he wanted to give more money to the police, even when the "context" was added.

    The same is true of so many other Bidenisms. Even when the context is added, it doesn't help his case (e.g. the "you ain't black" comment).

      I'm not assuming anything, this is exactly what was said when you consider this quote within the context of the sentence that it is a part of.

        Which is an assumption. Based on context, but like I said he never explicitly said that.

            It's not clear that he meant "trajectory over the next few months is a result of decisions already made". It's not clear at all. Maybe that's your interpretation, but let's not pretend like it's some objective look into Biden's mind and intentions, even when the context is added.

            Listen, I'm not trying to debatebro you here.

              What is clear is that he's proposing and advocating action to address an effect of the pandemic.

              What is also clear is that the quote is being presented in a manner that suggests that Biden is doing absolutely nothing.

              So what we have is a disparity between the presentation and the truth. Also known a a lie. And it's coming from a God awful chud/qanon site.

              If those circumstances aren't a problem for you then you're just doing the right wing's work for them.
