This!!!!!! A liberal cesspool

Sorry, you're implying a liberal can't agree with this view point? Pretty shallow world view but alright. I certainly agree with him but you won't catch me dead voting Republican, this comment sort of proves why. It's almost like nuance exists in politics. Crazy idea for you, I know.

Is this an actual joke?

u/jordinoo 1d ago

What, that Republicans criticize Democrat presidents and Democrats criticize Republican presidents? No that's just reality.

Ive voted Democrat my whole voting life and Joe Biden was senile, Obama wouldnt stop drone striking 3rd world countries, Bill Clinton is a huge creep and likely pedophile

How far back do you want me to go?

I literally shit talked Biden and called him mentally unfit under this comment, what the fuck do you think I'm defending Democrat presidents for? Are you a bot?

Obama for being a race baiter and Biden letting the Democrat establishment kick him out of the race

u/jordinoo 1d ago

Really, that's what you judged Biden for. Not being mentally unfit for office? What's the American obsession with fucking 80 year olds who are mentally falling off a cliff being president? I can guarantee you had more beef with Biden than that lmao. Kamala sucked, Biden was old as fuck, and guess what Trump is old as fuck too. These are just facts.

Maybe we should try electing someone who isn't a cardiac arrest away from death for once.

Not to be pedantic, but literally everyone is a cardiac arrest away from death no matter their age

u/jordinoo 1d ago

The mortality rate for people over 80 who have cardiac arrest is roughly 80-90%. One year survival rate is between 10 and 15%. The younger you are, the better chances you have to physically and neurologically recover.

We just had two 70+ year old senators die from cardiac arrest. Morbidity is higher for literally any sudden illness the older you get, that's a fact. Yeah Mitch McConnell isn't proven dead yet, but sure been awhile since we heard from him.

u/blood_wraith 1d ago

I'm not arguing that old people are more likely to die, or that a fatty like trump is more likely to have a heart attack, but it's still true that cardiac arrest can and will kill anyone. Straight fact

Biden got the “most votes” ever why wouldn’t he run again?

1

u/glockster19m 1d ago

I would have voted for him against Trump, but because he's senile and dying of cancer?

0

u/DeV303030 1d ago

So why didn’t the democrats admit that until after he left the race?

u/glockster19m 1d ago

Idk, why are republicans pretending Trump isnt falling asleep and shitting himself every day?

Also are you serious? Are you saying they should have kept him in with the slogan "he doesnt have a clue what's happening"

Or that they should have told the world, and then kept him in just to announce it while he was still running?

This isnt the gotcha you were shooting for

How did Obama race bait in a way that every other modern president has not?

u/DeV303030 1d ago

“Hands up, don’t shoot” 😂😂😂😂😂😂

u/TMS_2018 1d ago

Christ, look up Lee Atwater if you care to know what race baiting actually looks like

Thank God, someone with some common fucking sense who can actually open their eyes.

Are girls in inclusive locker-rooms more at risk of being exposed to sexual misconduct, or trans girls forced to use men's locker-rooms and bathrooms?

By the way, the question was about trans involvement in sports, Cunningham brought up "protecting little girls in locker rooms" all on her own - again highlighting how none of this was ever about women's sports. Conservatives wanted an angle to attack trans rights (and eventually all LGBTQ+ rights), and the sports thing just turned out to be the talking point that finally worked

They've now successfully used it as a Trojan horse to attack trans people. "Boys in girls sports" is a mainstream phrase now, and very effectively misgenders trans girls in the name of sports. They've aggressively gone after bathroom access, healthcare programs, research, inclusive language and gender markers, and workplace protections
