      It should be news when someone calls himself progressive for years and as soon as he gets to congress he starts ranting about how much it pisses him off everyone thinks he’s progressive.

      Asshole pulled a Sinema and the most annoying part is everyone defending him because he wears a hoodie.

        I hope it’s more due to the fact that he had a stroke rather than he’s doing it intentionally. Either way he has had a complete shift in personality and its disappointing to no end that he’s not who he was when elected.

        I’m not worried about Biden’s age mostly because I think this comes from the racist fear that Kamala Harris isn’t capable of running this country.

          I think we’re worried about biden’s age less because we’re worried he’ll die in office and more because we’re worried he won’t and will keep running the country as his mind deteriorates beyond the point he should be running a bingo game.

            Honestly, I would not at all be shocked if Biden resigns the day after inauguration and Harris takes over. I’ve seen several recent articles that seem to indicate she’s WAY more in tune with the concerns of the (sane portion of the) electorate, and is actively trying to step up in many areas where Biden and his campaign are dropping the ball. We’ll see what happens, I guess.

          Yeah, I’ve known a couple family members who had a stroke and became better people.

          Sometimes it works the other way.

          Personality changes arent a rare after effect, it’s pretty common.

            idk. he’s always been big on fracking, and everyone remembers the jogger with a suspicious look. i don’t identify as progressive, either, so it’s not an identity i look for in anyone else, but he insists that he never told people he was progressive.

      there’s no appropriate time

      Biden’s been in office for more than 3 years. But all the complaints get drummed out during election season. I wonder who’s pushing them…

          I have. But it seems to have been ramping up lately. And criticisms of things in the past now are not being done for anything but to tank the election.

            Dude, it’s primary season now. It’s precisely the time when you should be criticizing someone.

            It’s a shame the genocide had to ramp up for election season, huh? Oh well, it’s not the people that are criticizing the genocide enablers fault. That is 100% the fault of all the elected officials enabling it.

            The election industry is massive in the USA. The media is not really indicative of the conversations of the citizens, but they do know how to start reflecting these things when it’s time to sell it.
