    What a useless interviewer. “I asked Biden what he would do in a second term to protect abortion access at the federal level”

    WHY DON’T YOU ASK HIM WHAT HE COULD DO NOW, AS AN ACTUALLY EXISTING PRESIDENT?!

        He’s forgiven loans for another 25 people so I’m really not sure what more you commies want from him.

        Another 4000 years and we’ll have the student debt crisis reasonably and pragmatically managed.

          The Student debt crisis which HE PERSONALLY CREATED THROUGH HIS OWN ACTIONS BY CHAMPIONING AND PASSING THE BILL THAT MADE IT ILLEGAL TO DISCHARGE YOUR STUDENT DEBT.

          I cannot cannot cannot cannot cannot understand why anyone believed he would fix this thing, HE DID IT. IT’S HIS LEGACY. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

          I know that was just the pudding dripping out his ear, but that sure was a wacky thing to say and if the DNC had a shred of consistency, that would have put them in a weird spot.

          If it was a real promise, it should have been done in the first term, in order to not look weak if for whatever reason, he doesn’t make it to a second.

          This is true of any issue he campaigned on last time, like legal weed

    Excellent political instinct as the “harm reduction” candidate to announce your opposition to the concept of bodily autonomy. Eager to see how the Dems will attempt to claim that he misspoke or something.

    Complete inability to read the room. It’s not 1992, the kind of voters he’s trying not to alienate with this shit have been dead for a decade and change.

    The absolute masterclass in politics of Joe Biden coming out right now and clarifying that he’s begrudgingly pro choice from a polical expediency stand point but against it personally.

        The emperor is loudly declaring that he has no clothes and anybody who says he does is a dog faced pony soldier, followed by 48 hours of MSNBC saying anybody who says Biden has no clothes is a Russian shill.

    Democrats did this “abortion is a right but I morally object to it” song and dance for decades. Biden’s mummified brain can’t read the room and understand that excuse isn’t important anymore.

    “It’s just my personal belief, it won’t effect my decision making” okay cool how about you just shut your fucking mouth about it then? You’re talking to a reporter not pleading your case in the court of almighty judgement.

    Tell people you’re a sex offender without saying it directly, holy shit.

    Also what the hell do you mean “this is probably the most rational allocation of responsibility that all major religions have signed on”, why do women need anyone’s permission over their own bodies? Because then you’d have less kids to snort, you sick fuck?

    Screw anyone that tries to guilt you into voting for Biden this year, regardless of what state you live in. xi-gun-1 xi-gun-2 joever
