    Less of an assist, more like he neutered the effect of that comedian calling Puerto Rico a garbage patch. Now they have a tit-for-tat response (even if it’s clearly different) and both controversies cancel each other out.

    “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters,” Biden said

    Putting aside that no president should say that about the citizens of their country even if there is some truth to it, I don’t think Harris will lose any votes over this. People made up their mind months ago, I made up mine a year ago. There can’t be people who haven’t made up their mind yet.

      I agree that it’s hard to imagine there are a lot of swing voters at this point. What it’s going to come down is which side will be more motivated.

    Idk it made me like him and his party more. trump supporters are actually garbage unlike Puerto Rico.

    I won’t argue it’s a dehumanizing statement, but we’re talking about nazis here. He’s just calling it like it is. Besides, you can choose not to be garbage in this case.

      Joe Biden is currently ordering the bombing and shooting of little children in the head in the name of racial supremacy to uphold a genocidal apartheid state.

      Takes one to know one.

      It’s hard to tell if you’re talking about the red Nazi or the blue Nazi.

    As usual, liberals are upset with Trump because he said the quiet parts out loud. Democrats say the same things in the form of inaction By keeping Puerto Rico is a vassal territory without the same rights as US Citizens.
