Two - This article says that Americans picked the convicted felon over him, but the opposite is true. He won the only election in which he ran against Trump, and then withdrew the second one. The American people picked the convicted felon over Kamala, not Biden.

Three - Describing Biden’s full on cognitive decline as “walking and talking like an old man” really obscures what we all saw and heard during that debate.

Four - Why is this writer pretending that Biden’s legacy is going to be anything other than funding and supporting the horrific genocide that we’ve all seen broadcast directly to our phones every day for the last year and a half?

In 2020, when Trump was in office, covid killed 385k americans.

In 2021, after Biden took power, covid killed 463k americans ... and another 246k in 2022 ... and another +100k between 2023 to 2024.

Biden begged cities to spend covid relief funds on police budgets

Biden didn't save anyone. He just repealed all the protections and social safety nets designed to keep people safe so that the economy could continue chugging along.

Listen Jack, it was only 610* last week. That's way down!

*Assuming the states are reporting numbers accurately

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago

That's the neat part! A lot of them just stopped reporting cases altogether! 😀

I love how there is actual polling data about how the genocide was the largest reason people didn't vote Democrat and libs will still be like, "They're just too stupid to look past how old he ~~is~~ looks, walks, and talks (he's not actually old!)" blob-no-thoughts

what we all saw and heard during that debate.

Watching the debate livestream with y’all was one of my 2024 highlights ngl, that shit was hilarious

[–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago

I was crying tears from laughing so hard. That was the best Presidential debate ever.

Thanks, Hexbear!

S.V. Date? I don't know, but I bet Tara Reade remembers

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 15 points 1 month ago

holy shit what a wild name to attach to this.

[–] glimmer_twin@hexbear.net 22 points 1 month ago

His legacy is all the bad stuff he did for like fifty years in government, then lying about having shit for brains which led more or less directly to a got dang cheeter in the White House

Regarding four: History books will downplay the United States' involvement with Israel's genocide, I guarantee it.

History is written by the victor, be they blood drenched butchers or winners by default. Insha'Allah there will be no Zionist entity by 50 years and the imperial hegemon will be a husk, so that it won't be settlers writing the histories.

Biden would have lost even harder than Harris.

[–] Pastaguini@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago

I agree with this, however leaving Kamala out of the main argument of the article really feels like they’re purposely trying to get her off the hook.

He didn't look old, he looked like a ghoul from fallout

[–] NuraShiny@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I doubt you could grow a tree on Biden, he's too dry and dusty.

[–] Cysioland@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Imagine thinking "convicted felon" is an own in a country with highest prison population

[–] nomecks@lemmy.wtf 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Why don't they find people guilty on Friday and execute them on Monday like in China?

[–] T34_69@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

Interesting, where can one read more about this phenomenon?
