Joe Biden doesn’t know the first fucking thing about being an American because he hasn’t ever actually done it.

His family struggled a lot when he grew up in a blue collar town, moved so his dad could find steady work, but still were definitely middle class. Then he worked his way through college and law school.

We can say his decades in Congress and the presidency have corrupted him, but the idea that he hasn’t ever actually been “a real American” (the way you are using it) is an outright lie.

You know who hasn’t? The billionaire who was born with a silver spoon in their mouth, schooled with other wealthy people in NYC, then was gifted a huge amount of to start, and then spent their entire career screwing the blue collar worker to line his own pockets.

If Biden has never been a “real American,” then how do we describe Trump’s lack of real Americaness?

Yes, that was clearly my argument. Good reading comprehension there and not some mindless kneejerk “muh both sides” response.

lmao his family “suffered” because his father was a fraudster that tried to get rich on scamming the US government during the war. The stories about his blue-collar roots are as real as Kim Jong Un inventing pizza.

And I’m going to listen to your baseless accusation and ignore Bernie Sander’s crystal clarity? lmfao.
