    I was absolutely baffled at how many downvotes I got for saying I didnā€™t think Biden had his head in the game after he was like ā€œIā€™ll do my best but if I lose oh well šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļøā€. Likeā€¦ holy fuck. That was perhaps the most catastrophically tone-deaf thing Iā€™ve ever heard an otherwise fairly skilled politician say - and Iā€™ve heard a LOT of politicians say a LOT of stupid things.
