    So both candidates have hijacked their own parties, as they can literally destroy them if they are forced out.

      In what way did Biden hijack the party? At best it’s a Weekend at Bernie’s type situation.

        A Weekend at Sanders’ isn’t going to fix Biden’s optics problems. Does anyone know if he needs glasses?

        /j I’m making jokes so that I’m not attempting assassinations at this point.

        Edit: ummm… Well this is awkward…

        Fuck that and fuck this, stop putting Biden on the same level as Trump. You can talk shit on him all you want, but he is infinitely better than Trump and it’s not even a discussion.

          I’m talking about the fact we only have two choices. First past the post. We should have ranked choice voting so a candidate cannot hijack their party like both candidates have.

          This isn’t Nixon and Kennedy it’s Hitler (Trump) vs Chamberlain (Biden)

          Understand the false dichotomy of choice that you’re in. Look at what France was just able to do, or what the UK finally did. The axiom of choice shouldn’t have to be binary.

          Reagan’s first term was infinitely better and worse than Trump. Second term Reagan is what we are looking at. Second term Reagan had me, a six year old in July of 1987, asking my parents why the most important man in the universe/ world was unable to complete a sentence, and why would we allow someone that clearly wasn’t in touch with reality to have access to the nuclear launch codes.

          Biden is showing all of the mentally unstable issues Reagan did in 1984…

          All that said, Live Biden > Dead Biden > Dead Trump > A Literal Steaming Pile of Cow Dung > Live Trump

        Nooooo no no it hasn’t. Clinton vs the other guy was a BJ vs the other guy, Pre-wikileaks Bush vs Kerry was fool me cant be fooled again vs flip flops. McCain vs Obama was genuinely a war hero vs the first black prez. I’m not looking each election up and spitting from loose memory but the point is no fucking way has it ever been a rapist felon vs someone who was asked a question about abortion and was so fucking senile he answers with a fucking babbling story about a fuckin immigrant woman murdering I dont even know what the fuck he said it was so fuckin incoherent. There is no fuckin way you are old enough to vote if you are that short sighted that this is your stat quo.
