    sleepy Joe

    Can we not use MAGAt language? Call him other names, except anything that legitimizes their rhetoric.

        I am not. But Biden was a walking corpse for half of his term. We were robbed of Bernie, I am not going show any respect to a man and a system that did everything in their power to block Bernie.

          Using the term “sleepy Joe” doesn’t look good on anyone. No, he was not a “corpse”.

            If Biden was awake Trump would have been prosecuted for Jan 6 (or any of his countless other crimes) and we wouldn’t be dealing with his shit today. Biden fucked us all. He deserves every bit of disrespect coming his way.

      Nah, dude was like 78 years old and mentally gone. That rhetoric is legitimate. The last thing we should be doing is pretending that he was an acceptable candidate and the Democrats did nothing wrong.

      And by the way, Trump is 79 years old and also mentally gone, as you can see in the OP photo.

        The enemy of your enemy is not your friend. Come up with something clever, I don’t care what you call him. Don’t legitimize MAGA. That’s it.

        “Fuck Joe” is fine, though? I didn’t say don’t criticize the dude. Lol

            Sure. I’m only saying don’t legitimize MAGA’s rhetoric. I don’t know why people think I’m saying anything more than that.

          Yeah but trying to police what terms they use to criticize him in a way this specific is weird man.

            Bruh, policing? I’m not enforcing anything, I’m asking.

            Can you do two things for me:

            • Stop putting words in my mouth
            • pay attention to what I’m saying

            Much appreciated.

        Oh, fuck that shit, no, the reason we’re in this mess to begin with is because rich douchebags won’t get their fucking dicks out of politics because woe is them someone might actually take their ill-begotten gains to benefit everyone, so they propped up a fucking fascist and then bought all the media to make idiots like you blame Biden for it.

          So we agree, rich douchebags took over our democracy while Sleepy Joe sat back and did NOTHING to stop it. Jan 6th? Trump sees no consequences. Numerous other indictments for Trump? No need to rush. Musk buying votes in PA? Seems fine.

          All the while Joe sits around insisting he’s strapped in and ready for another term. He got elected on the premise that he would be a 1 term president then decided he was comfy, in spite of incredibly clear polling numbers showing that his policy was remarkably unpopular. Then Kamala picked up the mantle and when she asked what she would do differently? No notes.

          Policy-wise Joe was better than most but politically he gave away the country to the fascists.

            No, we don’t agree. You’re a MAGA trying to blame Joe Biden for the evils of other people, or even the inactions of other people. Biden isn’t a prosecutor, nor is he a judge.

            Nice name by the way, rather gives you away.
