    That’s never gonna happen as long as Republicans are fascist religious extremists, and the only other option literally still thinks God talks to them directly.

    Biden, 81, told Stephanopoulos, 63, that he doesn’t intend on exiting the race, and only a higher power intervening would make it happen.

    "Look, I mean, if the Lord Almighty came down and said, ‘Joe, get outta the race,’ I’d get outta the race,” he said, adding, “The Lord Almighty’s not comin’ down.”

    Republicans dove head first into religion, so that means the only other option Americans get is a “benevolent” deluded religious person.

    Because no matter how bad Republicans get. Our only other option will always meet them halfway.

      I don’t disagree about the GOP, but that quote doesn’t say what you’re asserting it does, lol. He doesn’t say that God talks to him in your quote, he was giving a hyperbolic example of what would make him drop out. Ironically, he dropped out almost immediately after this.

        He’s a lifelong devoted Catholic…

        When Catholics pray, it’s too God. And they believe God shows them signs for guidance.

        Biden believes he communes with God.

        That is not something modern society should want in a leader

        Which is the entire point of this post …

          What was the point of your quote? It was completely irrelevant when you could’ve just said you don’t like religious people at all. Regardless, I don’t give a shit if people pray, I only care if they try to force their religion and/or religious beliefs on others.

        Yeah, I think it’s meant as a kind of “when pigs fly” statement.

          Nah. Their religion is a polytheistic one with the wealthy owner donors as the deities. Pelosi is their prophet and shepherd.
