sick of having a lack of funds and resorting back to guns
Live with the consequences of your shitty choices/inaction.
Trump rapes kids.
He rapes adults too! Fucking pusbag, I am ashamed of being human sharing species with that disgusting sack of infected dog shit.
I came to this page to up-vote this comment.
I've seen more pics of Drumpf sleeping on the job than I ever did of Biden.
At no point in his life was Boden less mentally well than Trump. American's ware like "that guy will be a bad president, so we'll take the even worse guy".
Thats pretty much the 2024 presidential race in a nutshell.
I don't like broccoli! Therefore I will eat cow manure instead! - Republicans
Better than a black woman amirite
America is cooked.
They were given a choice. "Do I vote according to my racism or do I vote according to my sexism?". The answer for both was Trump.
What about them sitouts?
Such a pitiful article. It doesn't matter who is it an senile president should be removed that include Trump in the current state
Scammers choose a scammer As president, are surprised that they are scammed 🤔
~~Scammers~~ Rubes choose a scammer As president, are surprised that they are scammed 🤔
Demented Don
Don Snoreleone
I've been liking Drone on Don
Dozy Don
Or, I don't know, maybe anybody other than someone who should have been retired 20 years ago 🤷.
I would literally chose a inanimate bucket of rocks at this point. It would do a much better job and is incapable of rape, murder, fraud, insurrection, illegal wars, and can not be bribed.
Bruh I forgot about him. Let him rest.
"Babbling Trump..."
Trump is the object in this headline, not Biden. When you reply with "him", no one knows you're talking about Biden.
He's not dead dude
Rofl. I meant like enjoy retirement. But he is really old soooo nature may happen.
Americans longing for Sleepy Joe Biden
Doubt.
Biden may not have been a good president but holy shit we both gotta agree that he’s way better than Trump Holy shit
The longer this boomer rule then works actually the more dementia the empowered have
How about literally anyone competent? Why is this always framed as a choice between the lesser of two bads? Of course Biden is not as bad as Trump, but no, I'm not "longing" for Biden.
Not personally longing for him (also wanting a better person to win on top) however we do see how ppl rather have a boring president than what there is now. No progress would’ve been better than this huge jump backwards and shattering any hope for the near future. Anywho, our vote is towards any progressive socialist to President. ✌️ :3
Its a defense of establishment politics. Its part of a multi-decade propaganda campaign on the part of the ruling class, specifically focused on Democrats/ the left, and one thats been particularly effective.
This exact brainworm, its used to keep Democratic voters continuously voting against their own interests. Low information Democratic voters get sucked into this for the same reason that Republican voters get sucked into hating immigrants: you can get people to vote against their own interest if you can convince them they are better than someone else for doing so. And its exactly what Blue MAGA ends up doing when they rely on this thought terminating cliche. The people spewing ABWD (any blue will do), it gives them the mental framework to place themselves "above" another group by allowing them to believe they've come to a "reasonable" or "strategic" choice, and everyone else must just be a big dummy (even though this reasoning was literally injected into their veins via the NPR/ Neolib pipeline.
People who rely on this trope want to believe they're the smart ones not voting against their own interests, and every one else is a big dummy. But when you look at the impacts of Democrats over to past 40 years, its clear that this, also, is voting against your own interests.

It doesn't matter how good an president is. If his mental capability is no longer strong to work effectively , he should not seek another term
Oh very true but same time you can’t blame anyone missing a president who- while doesn’t do close to nothing notably good- doesn’t destroy the country and ruin all its relationships to any and all allies. Rather have an old man sleeping boomer than a stupid crazed boomer who murders anyone he pleases and sells a third term >__> that’s ask we’re saying. Yes would rather have an actual good president who’s representative towards improving USA but we gave up on that hope tbh. Will vote towards a better choice any day of the week but idk what else to do in our current position
Iiiiiii beeeaaat medddiicare....
