Agreed.

I mean, in a world where Republicans weren't trying to overturn a valid election, in a world where the president wasn't just recorded on tape pressuring the SoS of Georgia to illegally flip votes in his favor, maybe I could see offering this up as an example of the silliness of Democrats.

But we don't live in that world.

Outside perspective from non american: A-women is indeed cringe.

I mean, yeah, it's kinda cringe, but it's also just a silly symbolic gesture. Nobody in that room actually thought that amen was a gendered term. We are ending the administration that smashed the record for most corruption by a factor of at least 10 and I haven't heard a peep from the specific people posting about the "a-women" thingso I'm gonna insult them and tell them to stop caring about this and start caring about the very real crumbling of our Democracy.

Just because Joey acts like a retard and he does something dumber than Donny dosent mean Donny isn't an idiot as well.

All you read is, well it wasn't as bad as Obama who wasn't as bad as Bush but he's worse than Hillary would have been but...

American leadership to the rest of the developed work looks like a clown car. Just when you think another can't fit, out comes another!

Edit: buddy from Chicago just messaged saying he should change his name to Ewomamuel. I chuckled.

Thread.

Not entirely convinced but a compelling argument.

icepeon is a fake religious person. his/her persona in like 2014-2015 would have pretended to melt down over “a-women” being used in prayer. he/she is like overused playdough, just continuously morphs and morphs into increasingly inflexible states with no real substance to him/her

Agree’d. I know liberals are a bit out of touch with reality, but you have to be pretty mental to think ‘amen’ is a gendered term. Or is it womental now ?

I'm not convinced at all. Biden's political instincts only seem to be great when hiding in his basement is a winning strategy.

The claim that it's "Amazing how folks still distrust Biden's political instincts no matter how many times he's proven right" is ludicrous. The guy got clobbered in his two previous presidential runs, his greatest legislative achievement is a disastrous crime bill which created a ton of injustice, his antics during the Thomas-confirmation/Anita Hill saga provided the GOP with the soundbites to shrug off criticism of their Kavanaugh and Barrett nominations, he was emphatically on the wrong side of history on the Iraq war, and most important of all: Biden went into the 2020 primary as the clear-cut front-runner and then almost lost the nomination to a Bernie who wasnt even in his strongest form. ("Labour Bernie" in 2016 was far more compelling than "Woke Bernie" in 2020.)

Biden almost let the nomination which was his slip through his fingers because he just ran such an anemic campaign. He didnt display good political instincts, and had to rely on Clyburn and Obama rallying the party behind him to eke it out. Likewise, he benefitted a ton during the general election campaign from the fact that staying subdued and letting Trump self-destruct happened to be a winning strategy. And then again, Biden allowed Trump to get far closer to pulling it off again than he had any right to. Given the candidates, Trump's track record, his huge fumbles on the pandemic and all the circumstances, this election should have been a blowout instead of a nail-biter. Starting out with a big lead and all structural and circumstancial factors in his favor and then letting Trump get within 0.7% of yet another EC victory is not indicative of good political instincts, it's indicative of Biden being a lucky bastard. Something professional political commentators have also noticed:

The fact that anyone found this clever enough to include in any sort of public ceremony is indicative of long-term systemic decline.
