PresidentĀ Joe Biden on Saturday calledĀ Donald Trump ā€œclearly unhingedā€ and claimed that ā€œsomething snappedā€ in the former president after he lost the 2020 election.

ā€œItā€™s clear that ā€¦ when he lost in 2020, something snapped in him,ā€ Biden told supporters in Seattle at a private fundraiser Saturday, according to reporters in the room.Ā ā€œHeā€™s not only obsessed with losing in 2020, heā€™s clearly unhinged. Just listen to what heā€™s telling people.ā€

Even though Biden thinks the presumptive GOP presidential nominee is ā€œunhinged,ā€ he said he believes the November election will be ā€œclose.ā€

ā€œWe feel good about the state of the race, but we know the race is close,ā€ Biden said, pointing to recent polls.

    Look, I get it. I want all aid to Israel cut off forever, and we should be supporting the removal of Bobo Bibi and sharing evidence at the Hague. But the point is, with all this shit going on domestically, and the fascist, wholly undemocratic abandonment-of-founding-principles shit Cheeto Mussolini has been spouting, if the media (and social media) wasnā€™t so driven to keep us on a knifeā€™s edge, this election should be polling at a blowout. Iā€™m talking on the order of Mondale-Reagan blowout. Weā€™re sliding into Christian fascism, half the voting country is OK with it, and the furthest left contingent canā€™t see the forest for the trees.

      Agreed on cutting Israel aid completely. Whatā€™s happening there is disgusting - 10s of billions of US taxpayer dollars spent on slaughtering innocent children in Gaza. Meanwhile, basic healthcare at home is virtually unaffordable for most Americans. Do you know that Israel has free nationalized healthcare for its citizens? Why donā€™t we have that?

      Iā€™ll have to disagree that half the voting country is ok with nationalist Christian ideology. The majority of Americans are actually quite progressive, and this has been proven time and again via polling. The problem is we have no representation - Biden does next to nothing to appeal to the left, instead choosing to always move further right in order to compromise with his Republican friends in Congress, resulting in abysmally low voter turnout. This shouldnā€™t surprise you, because we have a system of legalized bribery in the US where corporations buy politicians to ensure precisely those results.

      Bidenā€™s rhetoric is superior to Trumpā€™s, but his actions leave so much to be desired. In fact, I think you will find that both Biden and Trump both act to protect the interests of American business above all else. This Hobsonā€™s choice is what got us into this mess, and pretending that Bidenā€™s abhorrent record is even remotely acceptable is not going to get us out of it.
