PS.

I would for vote Kamala. I would vote for a cactus with sunglasses if it had the Democratic nomination. You would do yourself well to consider anything that is weaking the resolve of the anti-trump sentiment straight poison to your brain. We have only one job this novemeber and that is to stop trump. The Supreme Court has given him the status of king. Quit acting like your vote is sacred and start realizing your vote is your final cry before your rights are forfeited.

      What this axios? From the literal link you just posted?

      **The big picture: **Biden never made an explicit public promise to serve just one term — though Politico reported that he had privately told advisers that he wouldn’t run again.

        The bottom line: Biden’s 2020 promises might not matter much to voters in the grand scheme of things, according to Fowler. “If the voters believed that Joe Biden was the best person for the job, and they were excited to vote for him, they would still be happy to vote for him regardless of whether he had said in 2020 that he was likely to be a one-term president or was just going to be a short-term bridge,” he said. “Unfortunately, there aren’t a lot of voters who are enthusiastic about voting for Biden right now.”

        It was a campaign promise dude. It was in his rhetoric. He said it several times. Was it litterally in his platform? Did he sign a contract? No but thats never how campaign promises work. Trump said he was going to build a wall. Was it in his campaigns platform? No. Does that still make it a promise? Yes.

        You are being obtuse if you think that’s how campaign promises are made.

          No it literally wasn’t. A campaign promise is a specific thing. He didn’t promise it. And you can twist and kvetch all you want about it. But it’s not going to magically make it something that it never was.

          I think he should have only been one term. Quite frankly I think all the people that were running this term were pathetic and that’s the reason he decided to stay in. But a campaign promise is a very specific thing.

            If a guy says he’s going to do or not do a thing in a campaign, thats a promise.

            It might have been one he never intended to keep, but he made sure it got out there and into the media.

              Quote where Biden himself said it on the campaign Trail and I’ll believe you. Point out official campaign Communications highlighting this as a promise and I’ll believe you. If all you have is his aids signaling that he might. That’s not a promise. And you and those like yourself are playing stupid semantic games in order to lie.

                  And? That article does not make it so. Last I knew. Campaign promises were supposed to be about future actions not past actions. But he slipped up and accepted such loaded wording from a Rupert Murdoch media outlet. We can critique him on that. But not actually making a campaigns promise that was never made.

                  There is a ton to critique Biden on without having to make things up. And yet people like yourself do it constantly. Like you have some innate need or desire to feel offended. But in the end all you really do is harm actual discussion. The fact that you cannot pull something from the campaign. Where Biden or his campaign actually made this promise just really goes to show how manipulative and dishonest you are.

                  Anyhow I’ve made my points and you proved that you had none. Bye felicia.
