      Man I thought you were going a different direction with that, but I’m pretty sure it’s all of them.

        Non American here, but the both sides schtick really really doesn’t apply to Obama or Biden here. Definitely not internationally at least. And likely not domestically either.

        Isn’t it tiring to always be trying to apply that bullshit mental gymnastics to the democrats? We have a phrase for this in Spanish, “pena ajena”. It means I feel embarrassed for you. That’s the exact vibe for this.

          The hell do you mean? Obama was a war criminal and Biden funded genocide. This concept may be foreign to you since you probrally live in a country witha proper left wing party but thats not America. In America the two parties are almost identical except one looks pretty. They’re both ran by Capitalists who take turns extorting and profiting off the backs of the working class and the exploitation of the global south. So maybe don’t make sweeping comments like that about a country you clearly dont understand.

            I live in America just not in the USA any more. Every POTUS has been a war criminal. And maybe try to understand the context of the post before commenting. You don’t know anything about me so maybe don’t pretend to know things you clearly don’t have any clue about

          They try to apply it to Biden because he acts a little weird around kids. The worst was when he appeared to be sniffing a young girl. It was weird for sure but I’ve known a lot of elderly to do it. Apparently after a certain age it’s common for young kids to smell really good to the elderly.

          Obama really doesn’t have any kind of scandals. After Clinton and Bush it was quite refreshing to not hear much of anything about our president.

            You can certainly argue that the over-familiarity and inappropriateness are Biden’s particular innocent character quirks. But I don’t think these are common among the elderly.

            Ive never seen Bernie Sanders do that and I’ve certainly never personally seen any elderly people do that irl. Also Obama was a war criminal and despite having a Congressional majority did almost nothing with it.

            uncommon

            I fucking wish. It’s an epidemic. Especially in positions of authority and wealth. Not sure what that correlation implies, but it exists.

              Yeah you might want to look into academic sources on this because the media likes to imply this is widespread when it simply isn’t.

                    Im the one arguing they are pedophiles.

                    Because i have seen them be pedophiles at me, back when that was possible. Im fine (or, at least mostly avoided that hazard), but have literally seen it happen!

                    And i was a pretty slippery kid, so odds are they got more than a few others. Im pretty sure i met some of them; the victims, but im not going to discuss that.

                    What’s more pertinent: not one of them was ever prosecuted. So you wouldn’t see it.

                  Ok then you are entirely incorrect in your perspective and you should actually look at facts as your personal experience isn’t a good source in this case.

                    Ive met more than i would like to. Most of them when i was a child. I met other convicted pedos, knew em pretty well.

                    I dont know that i could identify them now as an old lady, but looking back, apmost every single one had pedo vibes; at least a few asked openly.

                    None of the names i recognize have ever been prosecuted. Because theyre rich.
