    What a useless interviewer. “I asked Biden what he would do in a second term to protect abortion access at the federal level”

    WHY DON’T YOU ASK HIM WHAT HE COULD DO NOW, AS AN ACTUALLY EXISTING PRESIDENT?!

        He’s forgiven loans for another 25 people so I’m really not sure what more you commies want from him.

        Another 4000 years and we’ll have the student debt crisis reasonably and pragmatically managed.

          The Student debt crisis which HE PERSONALLY CREATED THROUGH HIS OWN ACTIONS BY CHAMPIONING AND PASSING THE BILL THAT MADE IT ILLEGAL TO DISCHARGE YOUR STUDENT DEBT.

          I cannot cannot cannot cannot cannot understand why anyone believed he would fix this thing, HE DID IT. IT’S HIS LEGACY. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

          I know that was just the pudding dripping out his ear, but that sure was a wacky thing to say and if the DNC had a shred of consistency, that would have put them in a weird spot.

          If it was a real promise, it should have been done in the first term, in order to not look weak if for whatever reason, he doesn’t make it to a second.

          This is true of any issue he campaigned on last time, like legal weed

    Excellent political instinct as the “harm reduction” candidate to announce your opposition to the concept of bodily autonomy. Eager to see how the Dems will attempt to claim that he misspoke or something.

          The weird thing is I don’t think I ever actually heard him stutter. He speaks incoherently and says inappropriate things but he doesn’t repeat the first sounds of his words. It never really made sense as an excuse.

            I’ve seen a couple of clips of him legit stuttering, but they’re from like 30 years ago. “He has a stutter” sure, but he seems to have figured it out decades ago.

        Maybe he stutters whenever he sees the ghost of a dead french politician? Kinda like Shaggy in Scooby-Doo.

        It would explain the whole Mitterand thing.

      beginning to sense that voting for him isn’t about harm reduction so much as culpability reduction. the exact same shit will happen either way, it’ll just be someone else’s fault.

    Democrats did this “abortion is a right but I morally object to it” song and dance for decades. Biden’s mummified brain can’t read the room and understand that excuse isn’t important anymore.

    “It’s just my personal belief, it won’t effect my decision making” okay cool how about you just shut your fucking mouth about it then? You’re talking to a reporter not pleading your case in the court of almighty judgement.
