Anyone who is mad about Biden should consider that Trump's people are ready and willing to nuke the entire Middle East on the chance that it will start the Rapture.

Like, it's not even a close call. And I'm still not seeing how biden's actual record isn't a factor. He's done a pretty solid job with the resources he's got. A good chunk of Congress is a terror cell at this point, the supreme Court is stacked with zealots appointed for life, and he's still managed to get a lot of good stuff done.
He's managed to get a lot of okay stuff done, which was better than expected.
People keep saying this as though presidents in the past get SHIT LOADS done, when in reality most of them don't do shit and the Republican ones start wars, give money to the rich and crash the economy.
So you can't even compare him to previous presidents becuase previous Republican presidents have been DISASTERS.
So we can only really compare him to previous Democrat presidents and I'd say he's gotten more done than most of them.
At this point, lauding Biden is a waste of time, because the GOPs will go straight to 'whaddabouts' and sidetrack the discussion with lies.
I don't talk about voting for Biden, it's all about stopping Donnie.
I mean, that's kind of been the strategy this whole time and it's not doing very well. Conservatives are a lost cause, we should be soley focused on driving turnout of Democrat voters and people who don't vote. Those groups are all saying they want something/someone to vote FOR, not just someone to vote against. Donald Trump is clearly an existential threat to our entire democracy, but these people aren't worried about that. They're worried about paying their bills. They want someone to make their day to day lives better and Biden has done a lot of things that help every day Americans, theyve just never heard about it.
The pitch needs to be "here's what we've gotten done even with Republicans fighting against all of it along the way. Send me a solid Democratic majority in Congress and we'll get X, Y, Z done." Get Jeffries and Schumer to have legislation prepared and ready to go that the caucus will pass without a single GOP vote if necessary. Then, most importantly, follow through and pass that shit.

Is he not aware he's gonna be gassed with the other browns?
He thinks he's white. He also pushed the Great Replacement bullshit.
There's a pretty morbidly interesting interaction between Hindu nationalists and Nazis in that the modern Hindu nationalists seem to think Hitler thought they were "Aryan peoples" and thus he's not talking about them when he goes on about untermensches.
Which is on the face understandable, given actual history, but is ignorant of so many, many things about the Nazis, primarily that they lived a "race science" fantasy that had absolutely no historical basis.
Not that I know anything about Ramaswamy, but if he is babbling about Great Replacement like he thinks they don't think he's the replacer that is probably a big reason why.
Is it because he used their logo?
It's because nationalists are dumb, ignorant weirdos that don't live in reality, but they do have that in common with each other, so, ultimately, kinda?

One thing I have learned from GOP in last 3 years is that If you repeat a lie non-stop over and over again it eventually becomes the truth.
The truth to them, not to the rest of the planet.

What a massive massive bullshitter. He'll have a great career as a politician.
He's scary fucking confident
Vivek doesn't have a chance. He's so lazy, he's repeating these ancient conspiracy theories that have long since run their course. Just more evidence that he's in it for the notoriety, since he can't be bothered to come up with anything novel.
