Joe Biden and Mitch McConnell struck up a friendship during their nearly quarter-century in the Senate together. Now in their 80s, the Democratic president and the Senate GOP leader appear to be giving political cover to each other as they fend off questions about their advanced age and health issues.
Notably, McConnell, R-Ky., 81, hasn’t joined Donald Trump, 77, and other Republicans who have attacked Biden’s age, health and mental acuity as he seeks re-election.
And after McConnell’s second freeze-up last week, Biden was one of the first to call McConnell, telling reporters that his “friend” sounded like “his old self” and that such episodes are a “part of his recovery” from a fall and a concussion this year.
There are levels of evil, my dude. Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. Learn nuance. No one wants Biden but to say he is exactly McConnell is inaccurate. Biden is obviously 3 layers of hell above McConnell. Not everything is a binary and there are gray areas. If we waited around for the perfect candidate before we decided on who should run things, we would wait forever in a hell scape because that person doesn’t exist. Take what you can and strive towards making things better instead of just saying “well, everyone is some form of bad so it doesn’t matter who we have”.
The problem is that you’re putting Biden on a pedestal while putting McConnell in the gutter. You have to realize they’re on the same level, that’s why they’re so friendly. If I had a co worker who was an evil piece of shit like McConnell I would avoid him like the plague. The fact that they’re buddies is telling, and shows you that the images of themselves they’re putting forward to us is just a game for them. When the cameras are off, they’re hanging out at the same places with the same people.
Literally no one is putting Biden on a pedestal. We all know they are garbage people. That’s not news. I don’t know what you’re reading, but it’s not what I’m saying at all. Biden is a piece of shit, of course. But McConnell is a boiling pot of diarrhea infested with super Ebola. They are literally not the same level of evil. Saying so is ridiculous to a point where I can’t take anything you say seriously. It’s like saying Zuko and Iroh were the same person in the first season of Avatar: the Last Airbender. I reiterate you are missing the nuance of it all with statements like yours.
Disclaimer: I in no way want to compare those two shitholes to Zuko and Iroh in actuality, just using them as an example of two wildly different people working within the same system.
I looked at that guys post history that you’re responding to, and it reads like post stuffing to hide this screed he has all over this thread that democrats put Biden on a pedestal. I think there’s something fishy with him.
Because MAGA is a cult and they need to pretend Dems worship Biden like they do that sack of shit Trump.
