I guess I don't know what you mean by uptight leftists hate men.

As for Biden's innocence, insofar as he hasn't been convicted, sure. I'm not opposed to getting to the bottom of these allegations. But I'm also not going to call every discovery of inconsistencies "fake news." I guess that makes me a Franco acolyte.

So until Joe Biden is convicted of rape you are not going to pass judgement on him?

I guess I passed judgment on him by not voting for him in the primary. So, no, I guess?

That sucks but if the send another $1200 that’s another precious month I don’t have to work. And the pentagon is going to get their money anyway. Even The Turtle gave a small wtf to that pentagon pork. If they’ll give me a couple more thousand they can give the pentagon 50 trillion for all I care. It’s not like this debt isn’t past the point of no return. And the oligarchs aren’t going to be any more insulated than the are now. We’re either willing to kill them or not. Until it’s dangerous for them and their families to hoard so much wealth that’s the way it’s going to stay.

I specifically said about him that this is the first time in a long time no one thinks the candidate will "save us." I'm not excited about Biden. No one is. I also said that's a positive thing and then jwb called me Ezra Klein for it.

So if people aren't excited by a rapist they're going to vote for that's exciting?

My state is super blue, and Hilary got our state in the 2016. I ain't worried. Oh, and despite being super left leaning we have a moderate republican as our Governor. Maryland is a weird ass state where both parties aren't constantly at each other's throats.
