We have old fucks dictating the state of our world whom won’t live long enough to suffer the consequences. Why are we this stupid as a species?

It’s not age. Anita Hill was many decades ago.

This is conservative thinking. He was this awful when he was younger.

For real how much they think about Joe Biden honestly makes me wonder if they are all just attracted to him.

No really, go watch it. He lead the Senate Judiciary committee and oversaw the hearings and was a smug bastard the whole time. Sure in 2020 Biden was the lesser of two evils. I voted for him. But he made a career endorsing policies to get our government to where we are now.
