Them:
Well, he got impeached for God's sake!
Me:
Yes, impeached by a partisan House and subsequently acquitted as there was no evidence that the President did anything wrong (no quid pro quo) in his communication with the President of Ukraine. BTW, you know Joe Biden actually admitted on national television to doing that exact thing while he was in office as VP though, right?
Them:
Well, he handled COVID horribly!
Me:
What would've you done differently?
Them:
He didn't close the borders in time!
Me:
He announced travel restrictions on 1/31 and was called xenophobic for doing so, all the while Nancy Pelosi was walking in Chinatown telling everyone to come on down, the water is fine.
Them:
Well, he is responsible for over 200,000 COVID-19 deaths.
Me:
Well, in early March it was projected that over 2.5 million people would die if Coronavirus went unchecked and with the best efforts, 240k would still die.
Them:
Well, he said everything will be fine and this will end!
Me:
Did you want him to run around screaming that the sky was falling?
Them:
Well, listen to the way he talks! He's nasty! He's not how I want my President to sound.
Me:
Ahhh. NOW we're getting somewhere. You don't like his personality. And everything you've mentioned up until now is because you don't like his personality.
So for you it seems personal and not about the job he's done.
So listen, if you want a President who will tell you whatever you want to hear, flip-flopping on every issue, not getting anything done his entire time while in office, but who sounds like a nice guy (even though he seems seriously impaired), then Joe Biden is definitely your man.
