Maybe you should live in a democracy where you'd get that choice.
Biden has casually lied like this throughout his political career. It’s nothing new.
I'm reminded of Gorbachev, who became leader of the USSR in part because the last few guys were ancient and died after a couple years, people were tired of it, and he was the youngest plausible option.
Pretty stupid, since Trump did exactly the same thing.
Is it a lie when grandpa absolutely believes what he's saying? It's not like he knows fact from feel anymore.
“it’s not a lie if you believe it”

How dare you suggest that the NY Post would editorialise headlines? I’ll have you know that they’re a very reputable bastion of journalistic integrity, stretching all the way back to their founder (and America’s most beloved founding father), Lin Manuel Miranda. 🦅🇺🇸
I was only joking, sorry, should have added a sarcasm tone indicator :3
Pretty much. I don't think he'd deliberately lie about this (he knows it will get called out), and even if it's not dementia it's clear he's slowing down a bit.
As much as I hate this and want it not to be true, it sure as hell looks true to me.

I mean, I dislike Biden pretty intensely but whatever alternative the Republicans are going to field is basically going to be using The Handmaid's Tale as a how-to guide, so I'll still be voting for him alas.
We desperately need ranked voted for all elections, and we need it yesterday so we can start to get away from this stupid 2 party system where everyone can only vote for the guy they think might win the final election rather than being able to rank the candidates by who they like the most with "the guy that can win" as a safety backup to who they like the most so their vote isn't thrown away.
ok so these claims cancel out with Trump’s even less believable claims. Next.
