No it doesn't, but wtf ever. There's no borderline lying going on either. If you'd read your own link carefully, the distinction is fairly clear. To Biden, Medicare and S.S. have always just been bargaining chips. He's just been a professional politician. Never had convictions about anything other than getting elected or reelected. All show, no genuine substance. Doesn't even give a shit about being a Democrat. I watched him rudely throw Anita Hill under the bus for christsakes.. while obsequiously handing the SC seat to her sexual harasser, Clarence Thomas, and kissing Hatch's ass with puckered lips. Biden is and always was a shit. 'Nuff said.
Btw, try to keep in mind that I'm an Independent. No warmongering, corporatist Democrat here. I don't care who wins if it's not Bernie or Tulsi. No clear improvement evident with Biden. Just as there was none with Hillary.
You do understand that Bernie, too, is a "professional politician", don't you?
Still, I can see what you like about him, as you exhibit the exact same grumpy, my-way-or-the-highway attitude, the same anti-establishment venom, the same take-no-prisoner approach, the same purity-or-nothing stance that arguably cost Bernie enough to cap his support at below 40%. That is particularly due to women, one of the Democrats' major constituencies, who are put off by what I would call Bernie's belligerence.
Did Biden commit errors in his career? Certainly. It is an outlandish distortion to assert he never "had convictions about anything" - that's just you running your foul mouth - and I cannot even begin to explain something like, "Biden is and always was a shit."
Say, Grumbles, have you followed the coronavirus outbreak? At all? In light of Trump's botched approach, which threatens to cost thousands upon thousands of lives, how could you tell yourself and others that neither Biden nor Hillary would be a "clear improvement" compared to a fact-averse, ineducable, impervious-to-counsel, anti-science, concerned with no one but himself, and obsessively mendacious Trump? Who initially found it a good idea to fund the corona counter-measures by repurposing funds for heating assistance for the most desperate? And who appears now to be going after social security while throwing corporations another tax cut under the cover of coronavirus? Or, you could read about
what Trump's judges are up to. You fine, as were these shits, with prison guards keeping a man naked in a feces-covered cell for six days? Really, what on earth were you thinking?
So, you're a proud independent, eh? I don't really know what that is, but I've noticed this sort is proliferating of late. They all sort of agree on their own purity, and that everybody else is at fault for not living up to their elevated standards. Oh, and they all ***** a lot about everyone, their uncle and their dog. Or so I seem to recall.
