Can't Americans do something to change the way elections happen? I still think 81 is too old to run as a politician let alone a president. People say America is one of the greatest democracies but I'm really not seeing it.
Also no offence guys, I'm not into politics. Just a layman question.
I really don't understand the age argument. One is 81 and the other 77. Like am to to european to understand the logic of freedomlanders in criticizing Biden for his age??
I like Biden and the Democrats because government is boring with them. Like, he's not gonna threaten to nuke a hurricane, or draw on a damn map with a sharpie.
I've experienced enough to know that boring government is the best we can hope for. And, honestly, it's what I'd really like at this point.
91 criminal charges don't mean shit when the government refuses to prosecute, and let's you slide right into the most powerful position in the country, where you'll receive complete immunity.
What i dont get about Biden running again is that there seemed to be like no democratic race to the candidacy? Or did it just completely fall flat in international media? I know Trump went late to the Reps race and then dominated it, but there was already Cruz and some candidates that tried to win on a "Trump is best" kinda position.
But for the Dems there seemed to be not even a real discussion to send anyone but Biden.
How can people be fine with this? How can the "best" both parties have to offer be more or less mentally unstable men that are clearly too old to lead a country and have a realistic chance of dying in office? How come the Dems have not understood after 2016 and 2020 that they need to stop being a right wing neoliberal party that fucks over poor people just slightly slower than the Reps?
I gotta ask the "I'm not a fan of Biden" crowd. Why? And not who he is, or what he hasn't done. What's something you don't like that he has done in this presidency, and then hasn't tried to correct?
I would then ask, did you watch the entire State of the Union?
Elderly man who fumbles and dodders on and also has a less than savory approach to Isreal or a full-on demented sociopath who would as soon throw his own shit at people who oppose him in any fashion while burrowing so far up Putin's asshole he can discern the finer earthen notes in Putin's shampoo. Hmm what a choice...
When the whole herd is thinking a certain way, hating a certain person, repeating the same arguments. That's a sure sign that they are under the control of a mob mentality and/or a propaganda campaign. Which is a good argument for swiftly nopeing in the opposite direction.
They are supporting a genocide right now where thousand of kids got murdered already. They are no less of a criminal than any other presidents before him or any other red and blue colleague.
Can Joe Biden's cabinet please get the fuck off of Lemmy and go back to sharing pictures of this war criminal holding puppies and ice cream to Boomers in Facebook?
