Joe Biden's age has people worried he'll repeat Ruth Bader Ginsburg's mistake and refuse to step down despite the high stakes of this year's election.

      In my opinion Biden supporters are either the meme for “illusion of choice” or just anti-Trump, there are very few actual Biden supporters (More than half of Americans have disapproved of Biden for most of his term). These DNC party leaders are so tone-deaf, it starts to feel like they either actually want Trump (Presumably so Establishment A and Establishment B can continue to act blameless for their horridness) or are so disconnected from John Q Public that they could never represent us. I always ask and am only ever downvoted as to why I should fear that Trump can run a dictatorship to strip all rights within 24 hours of inauguration but Biden cannot even act to protect established rights after having years to do so.

        I’ll continue to fight to protect a woman’s right to choose. Congress must restore the protections of Roe v. Wade in federal law – it’s the only way we can fully secure a woman’s right to choose in every state.

        The very definition of all talk no action.

          What do you want him to do exactly?

          And my point still stands, have you seen Trump or Bush speak up about it? Because you keep avoiding that part.

            Roe v Wade did not get codified for decades. The problem isn’t just Biden it’s the entire fucking party that only pays lip service to womens (and other peoples) rights. Which is why I don’t care about who speaks up about what, it doesn’t matter what they say when they don’t do anything about it even when they have control over the house and senate.

              Because the discussion was about him being the most ethical of recent presidents.

              If you fail to comprehend the discussion at hand, that’s your shortcoming.

                Right, they would have also gone behind congresses back to sell arms to Israel? Thank you for your input 🫡

          Gee it’s almost like we’re comparing him to previous presidents here or something.

            We elected him because he’s not the previous president, remember?
