they were both children once, that's the only accurate part.

Rural identity has become disconnected from whether or not one actually lives in a rural area.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Scranton was an industrial manufacturing powerhouse in the first half of the 20th century and still had a population of like 120,000 people by the time Joe Biden and his family moved away in 1953
They're originally from a small town outside of Houston called Needville, but it's still just a 30-45 minute drive to be in the middle of Houston so not exactly "rural" compared to most of TX. Houston has tons of these little white flight towns around it
75k people is a major city in France, 2.3m is literally Paris lmao
I'm learning all sorts of things today. I thought Paris would be like...6 million people. At a few points in their history, the majority of France's population lived there. I think over half of all French lived within 10 miles around Paris when the revolution started? I'm probably wrong since I didn't realize how small its population is right now lmao
Youre intuition is right, France is extremely centralised, but you have only 2m living in Paris itself, on a population of 75m. It's one ultra rich city holding absolute power over the rest of the vast majority of the country. Even people who live in the "Île de France" (approx 12m people) aren't really much better in terms of everything. France is so imperialist that even internally they have a core/periphery dynamic
a small town. 75k people.
What are numbers compared to feelings? Biden already said that being middle class is a "feeling".
Houston with 2.3m people
Hmmm... We're gonna need a bigger feeling.
I live in a city with 25K and I consider that a city.

I quit because I’m not a communist. I didn’t want to have meetings about how we felt about endorsing Joe Biden in MAY OF 2023! People like you spent more time bashing Biden than you did organizing against republicans. Go resist Trump’s presidency you helped make it happen!
I didn’t like being lectured about “working class solidarity” from kids who went to private schools or who’s parents paid their tuition while I grew up in a trailer and was using FAFSA to pay for my community college classes. I do well for myself now and I’m able to support myself but seriously wish people would move on and stop acting like this at like 30 years old
I’m not going to lie and pretend like I wasn’t a selfish asshole at 19-20 years old because of course I was. Being so young thrust into the spotlight with a large platform without much familial support is really hard! You have to adjust and grow. I’m glad I did and realized communism is a mental illness!
Scratch a liberal... 
Texas Democratic Strategist lol. Must be the easiest job ever.
Being vice president is also a job. 
libs are obsessed with thinking that everyone who has better politics than them is a trust fund kid
It's all projection
What group was she a part of?
And how does someone have so little self worth to shill for every shifty Democrat no matter what they do? It's like she has zero values of her own. Sad
"Gen-Z for Change" is the name of the org. And who needs values when you have 
Good for them not just being a Dem cheerleader NGO. Maybe the kids are alright
"The poor need to fuck off and die!"
"Why isn't anyone voting for us?"
What is it called when you disregard peoples opinions based on their background?

"Now that I've climbed up the ladder, pulling it up is based. Fuck you, got mine!"
400 years ago Biden was just a small boy, helping his family settle a small Pennsylvania colony.
🎶 He kept the high-speed trains from going AANNNYYYYWHHEERRREEE! 🎶
Who dis?
liberal "political" influencer who "mobilized" zoomer votes for Holocaust Harris
She turned a viral twitter Ted Cruz dunk moment into a viral fundraiser for (i think) the Hillary Clinton campaign?
Holocaust Harris
Every explanation I come up with requires an SA CW.
Ok, they're still not beating the transphobic policies they had happen under their watch...
Biden as Kingpin: "When I was a boy..."
