    Biden isn’t running for President! How can my comment be interpreted as saying anything about how people should vote?

      Because we’re in the middle of an election cycle, and in America’s fucked up bullshit two party system, any criticism of one side will almost certainly (and largely understandably) be taken as an implicit endorsement of the other side.

        The elections never fucking end these days. Trump’s reelection started when he lost.

        If that trend continues we’ll just never be allowed to criticize any Democrat for any reason at any time.
