    A vice president isn’t going to publicly break with the sitting president

    Been saying this before the election. These comments are wild.

      Joe Biden publicly broke with Obama when Obama drew a line in the sand on Israel using American weapons in a genocide

      Biden publicly and repeatedly told anyone who would listen that Obama was wrong and the only way to work with Israel is giving them everything they ask for…

      Are you saying that hurt his chances later when he was handed the presidential nomination after a literal 40 years of losing primaries?

      It seems like it’s not about going against the president, it’s about going against neoli eral policy…

          I don’t think that had anything to do with it.

          But it completely blows out the neoliberal defense of

          VPs have no autonomy!

          Anyone that honestly knows about our recent political history knows what Biden did back then, but they’re like Republicans. They don’t think logically and come to a conclusion.

          They say whatever needs said in the moment to make their “team” sound the best.

          They’re fucking shady cars salesmen essentially.

      The pro-genocide centrists who made this excuse were silent when she moved to his right.
