What a useless interviewer. "I asked Biden what he would do in a second term to protect abortion access at the federal level"
WHY DON'T YOU ASK HIM WHAT HE COULD DO NOW, AS AN ACTUALLY EXISTING PRESIDENT?!
That's coming with his student loan relief plan...
He's forgiven loans for another 25 people so I'm really not sure what more you commies want from him.
Another 4000 years and we'll have the student debt crisis reasonably and pragmatically managed.
The Student debt crisis which HE PERSONALLY CREATED THROUGH HIS OWN ACTIONS BY CHAMPIONING AND PASSING THE BILL THAT MADE IT ILLEGAL TO DISCHARGE YOUR STUDENT DEBT.
I cannot cannot cannot cannot cannot understand why anyone believed he would fix this thing, HE DID IT. IT'S HIS LEGACY. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
*forgiven those 25 by applying the law that should have already forgiven said amounts
And the cure for cancer. He promised.
I know that was just the pudding dripping out his ear, but that sure was a wacky thing to say and if the DNC had a shred of consistency, that would have put them in a weird spot.
If it was a real promise, it should have been done in the first term, in order to not look weak if for whatever reason, he doesn't make it to a second.
This is true of any issue he campaigned on last time, like legal weed
fuck i forgot about that lmao. i love that everyone was immediately like "okay cap, we know that's not gonna happen, what else ya got?"
Excellent political instinct as the "harm reduction" candidate to announce your opposition to the concept of bodily autonomy. Eager to see how the Dems will attempt to claim that he misspoke or something.
"I don't agree with the right to choose, but it's the politically expedient position, Jack!"
He has a stutter.
I haven't heard them bring that up in a while. Now it's just "yes, he is objectively evil, but trump is double evil!"
The weird thing is I don’t think I ever actually heard him stutter. He speaks incoherently and says inappropriate things but he doesn’t repeat the first sounds of his words. It never really made sense as an excuse.
I've seen a couple of clips of him legit stuttering, but they're from like 30 years ago. "He has a stutter" sure, but he seems to have figured it out decades ago.

beginning to sense that voting for him isn't about harm reduction so much as culpability reduction. the exact same shit will happen either way, it'll just be someone else's fault.

he's anti-choice on bodily autonomy and Democratic Presidential primaries
Complete inability to read the room. It’s not 1992, the kind of voters he’s trying not to alienate with this shit have been dead for a decade and change.
It’s not 1992...
Maybe (very?) soon Biden says "President Clinton is workin' to solve this problem. And I as senator am doing my part. Hold on. That doesn't sound right. Not at all. I feel funny. Does anybody else smell burning rubber?"

The absolute masterclass in politics of Joe Biden coming out right now and clarifying that he's begrudgingly pro choice from a polical expediency stand point but against it personally.
"you have to have a public and private position"
-Hillary "most qualified person ever but still lost to a game show host that she amplified" Clinton
Let me shit away what little support I have left
The emperor not only has no clothes, he is shitting himself while waggling his robinette around on k street.
The emperor is loudly declaring that he has no clothes and anybody who says he does is a dog faced pony soldier, followed by 48 hours of MSNBC saying anybody who says Biden has no clothes is a Russian shill.
I could shoot every policy you libs care about in broad daylight and not lose any of your votes
(Because you believe in nothing)
Biden once voted for a constitutional amendment to overturn Roe v Wade btw.
Holy shit, do you have a source for that? I gotta keep that in the back pocket, for arguments with libs

We pushed him so far left he had an integer overflow error.
Democrats did this "abortion is a right but I morally object to it" song and dance for decades. Biden's mummified brain can't read the room and understand that excuse isn't important anymore.
"It's just my personal belief, it won't effect my decision making" okay cool how about you just shut your fucking mouth about it then? You're talking to a reporter not pleading your case in the court of almighty judgement.
"I guess I'll do the right thing but I want to make it really clear I'm doing it for political reasons and wanna make sure everybody knows I'm still on the wrong side of history and this isn't a firmly held belief."
A vote for 100% Hitler is a vote against 100% Hitler.
Why don’t these people ever die
Also you’d have to be a fucking dumbass to believe this dems controlled senate house and pres when roe was repealed
These people always have the shittiest takes and don't even explain why lmao. You don't think people should have autonomy over their bodies...why?
"i have no principles and if I did, they would be wrong."
Are you telling me that an octogenarian conservative catholic who was best buddies with Strom Thurmond has absolutely dogshit opinions about women's bodily autonomy?
Color me surprised.
eight more months of this
Don't forget the 4 years after that where libs insist we handed Trump the presidency because we didn't like that Biden was old.
It's the "but her emails" of a hip new generation.

Wtf even is "abortion on demand"?? It isn't Netflix, you have to see a doctor to do it. It has the same fascist ring to it as when they say "omg they're now killing babies when they're born"
Pure fearmongering.
I can translate. "Abortion on demand" means "without bullshit red tape, multiple visits, gate-keeping, unnecessary expenses and guilt-tripping."
Apparently equivalency to any other medical procedure is unthinkable. And that's with access to healthcare being absolute dog shit here as it is.

Tell people you're a sex offender without saying it directly, holy shit.
Also what the hell do you mean "this is probably the most rational allocation of responsibility that all major religions have signed on", why do women need anyone's permission over their own bodies? Because then you'd have less kids to snort, you sick fuck?
Screw anyone that tries to guilt you into voting for Biden this year, regardless of what state you live in. 
"I've never been supportive of 'It's my body I can do what I want with it'. Look, I'm a walking counter-example, Jack. Most of the time I can't even remember what I want or am even supposed to do, much less being able to."
Lmao this is a great point obviously the guy who's body routinely tries to mutiny him and make him walk off into the sunset doesn't support his bodies coup d'etat
Wanton Hussies are bad, jack. Oops. My stutter. I meant to say RESTORE ROE and all that jazz. Don't forget to vote!
This is your God libs? This is your God?
if people stop having children they can't properly supervise, who will i sniff and molest?

JESUS FUCK JUST CRUMBLE YOU FUCKING MUMMY
Liz Breunig-ass response
I'm convinced - with very little evidenced - that she and her husband are very much anti-abortion but they lie because if they were honest - their audience would dry up and they'd lose a lot of money.

Whaddya know. I was right.
The once-beloved “leftist” is facing backlash for her anti-abortion views. Why did it take this long?
Jul 20, 2022
This bit is highlighted...
To strip women and trans people of agency, violate their bodies, kill thousands of them, and then throw the survivors some free diapers isn’t “leftism;” it’s barbarism with a sheen of feel-good charity to make it sell.
There's a lot more I could quote but I'll just mention this...
Consider a sentence from that 2014 piece on “pro-life liberalism:” “Since we care enough about the outcome of pregnancy to insist against abortion, then we must continue to care about the outcome when abortion is no longer a legal option.” Did you catch it? I didn’t, at first. It’s so subtle, just a whiff of a suggestion of a hint of a teeeeeensy tell: “When abortion is no longer a legal option.”
Not “if.” When.
For Elizabeth Bruenig, the overturn of Roe has always been both possible and desirable. Her “leftism” is simple cleanliness: She wants to be standing just far enough away that she won’t be spattered with blood when the axe falls.
Thank god for archive.today. The article is now behind a paywall.
