Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) went after former President Trump for his legal woes in an interview on MSNBC Saturday.

“I’ll take the individual who’s 81 over the guy who has 91 felony counts,” Swalwell said, making a reference to President Biden’s age in an interview on MSNBC’s “The Katie Phang Show” on Saturday.

“It’s not about two individuals,” Swalwell continued, speaking about the 2024 election. “It’s about the idea of competence versus chaos, or even greater, freedom versus fascism. If we make it about those ideas, and what they mean in our daily lives, we’re gonna win.”

Swalwell’s comments come after Trump was ordered to pay almost $355 million in penalties in a civil fraud case and amid increased scrutiny faced by the president on his age and memory in the wake of a special counsel report on Biden’s handling of classified documents. The report noted that Biden had problems with memory and recall.

    Funny how people aren’t mad at the person committing genocide for taking an action that will likely hand the election to the person they think will end democracy.

    Instead, they’re mad at the people saying they won’t vote for genocide.

    Tell me, would you be mad at me if I was in Michigan, Palestinian, and had family members murdered in the current genocide?

    I’m not, I’m just curious how far your selective moral outrage will go. I want to see how selfish/racist you are.

      “Who are you voting for that is going to stop the genocide?”

      Which part exactly makes you believe they’re morally outraged or mad or whatever else you want to call them? Stop making stuff up if you’re out of arguments. Just move to a different thread.

      The only selfish one here is you. Since you’d rather vote for someone who has no chance of winning just because it helps you sleep better at night.

        So you’re the selfish one? Biden has no chance of winning.

        Explain to me how he wins the electoral college without Michigan. Explain to me how he wins Michigan without the Muslim vote.

        Go on.

        I’ll wait for you to do the fucking math.

          Again changing the subject when you’ve got no arguments. GG. I’m out. No point wasting my time with trolls.

          For everyone else reading this: Only Biden and Trump can win this race. If you vote for anyone else other than Biden, you’re screwed. But I’m sure all the reasonable people already know that.

            I’m not changing the subject. It’s an integral part of the subject.

            You’re only out because you know you don’t have an answer.

            You’re willingly voting for a genocide enabler because you think he is the only one who can stop Trump.

            But the math shows that he is unable to win BECAUSE of the genocide support.

            I ask again, but I know you’re too much of a coward to answer, How does Biden win without Michigan?

            How does Biden win Michigan without support from the Muslim population?

            EDIT: disagreeing with you with a sincerely held belief doesn’t make me a troll. It just means you’ve lived in a bubble where people don’t disagree with you.

              The question and answer are irrelevant. Even if he can’t win Michigan, he’s still the only one with a chance to win. So you either help him win or you let trump win. There’s no alternative. It’s the truth of the situation, fucked up as it may be.

              And just to answer your question anyway. When push comes to shove, Biden is the better choice for everyone that’s not a cis white male. That includes Muslim. You really think they’d rather vote for that racist fuck than for Biden? Guess we’ll see.

                  In the first stage thingy sure. But what do you do in the last bit when on the votes bulletin there’s only Biden and Trump left? Who do you vote for?

                    i fully expect to have a green party candidate and libertarian candidate on my ballot, and if i’m lucky, cornel west will be there, too.

              Can you provide numbers to back the assertion that it will be impossible for Biden to win Michigan?
