    Because anybody with even a basic awareness of how Republicans operate knows that people won’t hear the good bits.

    Who cares?

    We aren’t going to flip Republican voters, he’s not gaining any he doesn’t already have.

    Elections are won and lost on dem turnout, and if the audio makes Biden seem capable, that makes the “old and confused” reason for not charging him bullshit.

    And that might be enough for them to also write off the reasoning for not charging him, and maybe even the fact that the report found him guilty

    They call Biden a fucking communist, no matter what happens, republicans will always tell their voters it’s the worst thing ever.

    So who cares what they’re going to say?

    If this gets more voters to the polls, it’s a win for Biden.

      If we don’t care what republicans think then why do we care about meeting their demands to release the tape?

      If elections are won and lost on dem turnout then why give republicans the opportunity to create misleading sound clips? Do you think more dems are likely to listen to the entire tape or just a few moments stitched together played on the radio?

        Because if it shows a capable well thought Biden it might convince voters who aren’t voting for him because he’s 82 years old…

        How do people not understand?

          It’s been explained over and over. Nobody will listen to 5 hours of recorded tapes. They will hear out of context snippets stitched together out of chronological order.

          How do you not get this?

            Because out of 5 hours of tapes, I’d expect some good things…

            But hey, I’m an optimist, maybe everyone else is right and Biden just sounds like a senile old fool for 5 hours straight…

            I just can’t rationalize how that’s true and it’s bullshit the reason he wasn’t charged was he’s old and confused.

            Gotta be one or the other.

                Well thinks for making the decision to block easy I guess.
