The president has been going after his presumptive 2024 opponent with a little more venom than usual

Joe Biden is taking it to Donald Trump.

The president’s campaign responded to Trump’s wild press conference in New York on Monday by slamming the former president as “weak and desperate — both as a man and a candidate for President.”

“He spent the weekend golfing, the morning comparing himself to Jesus, and the afternoon lying about having money he definitely doesn’t have,” the statement read, adding that “America deserves better than a feeble, confused, and tired Donald Trump.”

Look, let’s get this out of the way. I’m not a Democrat. Didn’t vote for Biden or Trump at any point. Yet comparing them one is clearly capable and one is not. How does that make them equal? That’s delusional thinking.

Do I want a better candidate than either of them? Sure, but it’s not going to happen this election cycle. And yes it’s fucked these are the only choices we get.

Yet which one is really likely to fuck us over? The answer to that isn’t Biden. Not by a longshot.

The problem with this is that we have history with both of them, and we can see what they did. I am not going to vote for either of them, but biden has been objectively an incompetent president, probably the worst president in the modern era outside of Bush.

You can claim what you wish, but the current president is the one that got us invovled in two wars that lead directly to WW3. Just because you guys got TDS doesnt meant the delusions are true.

No one said it was.

If you can vote for a president who not only went around Congress to fund a genocide, but also went around Congress to prevent aid to the victims…

That’s your decision that you will have to live with

Maybe that’s not a big deal for you. Maybe it’s harder on me because I’m a third generation disabled veteran.

But everyone has a line. I truly help the DNC gets better before your line is crossed.

I hope you do understand that Trump isn’t any better in this regard - he isn’t just going to continue funding Israel like Biden currently is, he’s already expressed his full support of Netanyahu’s genocidal actions and will seek to help him further.

You can choose not to vote, but understand that if enough people come in with that same attitude, Trump will win, because his supporters don’t care what his policies on Israel are, they just want him to win.

What’s the point of not replying to one comment, scrolling down, and trying to start a new chain with the same person?

Like, I’ve explained everything you’re asking about multiple times already… If you can’t understand it, maybe it’s because you’re jumping around this thread and replying randomly to different comments?

I just don’t see the point, unless you’re intentionally just trying to waste people’s time.

I know understanding complicated political issues is hard, and I 100% understand if you just give up. But don’t go to the same thread and reply to the same person to have the same conversation you gave up on.
