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.

    Please tell me which candidate that has a chance of winning that I should vote for in order to keep the traitor rapist wannabe dictator out of office. I’ll consider voting for them. Because I don’t like genocide either. And I don’t want to see my queer daughter being part of the Republican genocide they dream about.

      I’m not here to help you morally justify your vote. You’ll have to live with your choice for the rest of your life.

      Surely you have other options besides genocide abroad and genocide domestic.

        Again, please name the candidate that has a chance of winning.

          I guess it’s time to rise up and say no more genocide.

            That’s not a name. How am I supposed to know who to vote for if it shouldn’t be Trump or Biden if you can’t even give me a name?

            • @Nudding
              0•9 months ago

              Genocide it is then.

                So because you can’t give me a name for who to vote for, I support genocide?

                It sounds like you’re saying I will support genocide no matter who I vote for.

                So should I just not vote?

                  I would be more upset with my government than holding my nose and voting. But I’m pretty far left. You do what you have to do to sleep soundly at night.

                    Maybe if you told me what I should be doing, I could do it. You just keep berating me instead. I mean from what I can tell, no matter what I say or do, you’ll accuse me of supporting genocide. No matter who I vote for or whether I vote at all, I support genocide. I apparently support genocide because I exist.
