    Were you not alive a couple months ago when the entirety of dem social media was desperately trying to convince the world a second Biden term was a good idea?

      You mean a couple months ago when they begged him to stop running and then he did? Yeah, I remember well. The Democrats gave up an incumbent candidate, historically the biggest possible advantage a political party could have, because they knew he obviously was unfit for the task. It’s almost like they base their decisions on reality and common sense instead of fear-mongering bullshit and xenophobia, interesting…

        They waited until practically the last second, and up until that last second you people were hounding every single person that called for Biden to keep his one term promise constantly saying he was firnfr office and obviously wasn’t too old or too ill or too unpopular. You don’t get to rewrite that history.

          Trump proved his was unfit during his first term, but yet he’s run twice with full support. And I could see him running a third if he fails now.

            That’s nice dear, we were talking about Biden. Whabtaboutism is popular amongst you conservatives, I know, but do try to be on track.

                  See, those were all real words and it still doesn’t make any sense, contextually. You were arguing conservative talking points, now you’re trying to gaslight me into thinking I’m conservative lololol, good luck in that fractured psyche of yours, I hope the most empathetic personality is the most dominant.

          Did you also not read all the posts leading up to that on how fucked we were with Biden as the candidate? Nobody was idolizing him.

          I think that’s more a testament to how unlikeable trump is that people would rather vote for a sentient ham sandwich than that decroded piece of crap.

          Idk if he’s firnfr office or if he’s covfefe office and idc. Regardless, he’s not running and no one is idolizing him 🤷‍♂️ Trying to say anyone on the left is more undeservedly worshipped than Trump is just downright hilarious.

          How is that idolizing him? That’s being strategic and fighting against Trump winning the election. There wasn’t a massive cult movement of people wearing Biden hats and decorating their pickup trucks with 100s of Biden stickers. Biden doesn’t have a personality cult. A lot of people who voted and would have voted for him don’t actually really like him. Still, they realize the importance of not letting Trump win.

          You’re missing the point. Good attempt trying to play “BuT bOtH SiDeS” when it’s the most clear and obvious thing that idolizing a candidate is a largely problem on just one side.

        Because no one was idolizing him, it was worry about who would run instead so late in the process. That isn’t idolizing, that is practicality and concern.

        I was one of the people very concerned. I am so very glad to be wrong.
