    ““The Joe Biden story is one of the great tragedies of American politics. I really mean that. He should be having a glorious, well deserved, highly acclaimed retirement. And he’s not,” veteran Democratic political strategist James Carville said”

    Its a bigger tragedy that James Carville still gets quoted in the last 20 years. He should be selling used cars in New Jersey.

      Carville himself is likely massively responsible for the Dems rat fucking Bernie and putting us into the evil demented clown timeline.

      Go find the videos of him being an absolutely out of touch entitled asshole when the topic of Dem staffers being freaked out and quitting over the Palestinian genocide comes up.

      I hope he has a fucking stroke.

      Yeah, no. Biden was a Reagan Democrat, opposed to school integration and especially busing, when he came in. He was one of the main authors of the Patriot Act. He’s long pushed the lie that Social Security has an irreparable funding crisis (try lifting the cap, genius), he’s never been worth a shit at resisting intrusive spying by tech companies, and his foreign policy might as well be refried Kissinger war crimes. And his appointees? Garland, worse than useless. Blinken, an empty suit. He couldn’t be bothered to remove that saboteur DeJoy from the Post Office. At least the FCC Commissioner was all right.

      But I’d still prefer a blithering mediocrity to the cancer that is Trump.
