More like Plutocracy. Without us, they dont exist.
And then only pay minimal struggling wages.
Yup. It's disgusting. The middle class is disappearing at a really fast rate. I make a pretty goddamn good wage. And my wife makes way more than I do. But I still have days that I worry about paying bills. We are the very definition of middle class.

The right always says "buht ya can just go to trade skool!". Not everyone can be a fucking carpenter or welder. We also need things like veterinarians, vet techs and a million other jobs that require training. These people are huge contributors to society for fucks sake.

The Dems have done a shitty job too,

Trump faces his first crisis not of his making and fails in every conceivable measure.

Well, with Michigan in tow, Bernie's done and Biden will be the nominee.

Are the Democrats really not concerned about Biden's very clear cognitive decline? He sounds worse every day I listen to him. What's the plan if he has to step down? Hillary?

Same. But I wouldn't be surprised if that is something they give real thought to. The Democrats don't seem to be capable of introspection. You'd think losing as much as they do, they'd question their own judgment from time to time. Four years of planning to get Trump out of office and this was the best they could do? Blows my mind.

If voters care about cognitive decline they’d veer the hell away from Trump surely.

Biden is a bit gaffe prone but he generally appears to hold up. But even if he was unfit I’d vote for him to get rid of Trump. Anything to end this 4-year hell’s cape you guys created.

Yeah as long as he doesn't need to speak for more than 3 minutes at any given time he should be fine.

And yet again the young Bernie fans cant get off their asses to vote. Screaming and crying about shit is way more fun than voting for what they believe in. If they couldn't get out in numbers to vote for Bernie I'm supposed to believe they will for Joe.

So Biden's gaffes make him look old and not able to run a country. But Trumps gaffes are "it's just the way he talks!!!". Lmfao. I feel like I'm in a bad Twilight Zone episode. I know I know, this is from Huff Post, but it's not fake words- https://www.google.com/amp/s/m.huffpost ... 37bf04/amp

Kind of like how Joe is creepy because he gives shoulder rubs and sniffs hair. But Trump says when you're rich, they let you grab them by the pussy. You can get away with it. Jesus.....these are the best two candidates we can get? America has done went full retard. Ugh.

This defense of Biden's OBVIOUS failing mental acuity is stunning. Trump is a douchebag but no he is not in the beginning stages of senility. Joe Biden would not make it through a presidential term and I'm not saying he wont win he might because Trump is such a douchebag

Biden is not merely a bit gaffe prone. His mind has significantly deteriorated. He is not fit to hold any job at this stage, let alone president.

It’s elder abuse at this stage. Biden’s family and the entire Democratic Party are awful people for letting this happen.

Trump doesn’t know how to speak coherently at this stage. His mind is failing him too. But Biden is almost gone already.

It would be great if people could look at BOTH guys and call a spade a spade, but we live in a time of complete partisanship. Neither is mentally fit to hold any position of leadership.

This is kind of a lazy take. Young people largely did vote for him, Bernie not expanding his voting base to other key demographics hurt him. Also can’t ignore the entire apparatus of the Democratic Party consolidating to take him out. It does seem that a lot of people who specifically disliked Hillary were fine with voting for Biden.

This is all a deeply flawed process because later primaries are completely beholden to the results of earlier ones. Most people aren’t voting for their favorite candidate, it becomes defensive voting.

I never defended Biden. Was just saying that Trump is incoherent at times too. Lol. I think Biden is a horrible candidate.

Democrats know Biden is not well. They laugh about it amongst themselves. They don't care. Ends justify the means, they'll say. This is wrong.
