Same. Even him talking to the old lady this morning. Why is his campaign suddenly being so cavalier with him?

Biden, Informed By Firefighter That On His Last Visit (8 Years Earlier) He Promised to Bring Beer, Pulls Out Beer And Passes It Around
- Thread starter Schlorgan
- Start date
If criticism of the event brings nothing of value into the thread, then that's quite worrisome to me.
It's not. It's a very small gesture. Way too small to be this cynical about it. To put it another way, it's something Trump and his entire staff are incapable of doing because it wouldn't actually be a stunt. Calling it shallow is missing the point entirely.
Of course it wasn't planned. He has a 6-pack of beer on him at all times.
As stunts go, it requires caring enough to remember visiting these folks 8 years ago in the first place, then caring enough to remember the things he talked to them about at the time including a probably off-hand, half-joking promise, and then to decide to make that little extra effort to fulfill the promise regardless of whether anyone else there remembers it as well as he had, or cares. I mean, yeah, I can totally see why that level human connection, attentiveness and preparedness would totally be a turn-off in a presidential candidate. It certainly would be a major stunt for the other guy to pull off.
...its a low level meet and greet event. Its what politicians should be doing on a campaign. This is basically kiss the baby, except with beer. like wtf is this even?
if thats high on your list to criticize, like i said, perhaps the problem is you.
it's the anniversary of 9/11
there's no way he's not going to go to public events today
You're getting mad that people are mildly criticizing the event as staged and finding it incredulous that so many here seem to be impressed by it.
OP
OP
I don't know why, but I hope this photo makes Trump jealous and more paranoid XD
1) im not mad
2) if you want to criticize his policy go right ahead, criticizing this is just plain dumb. You said "not criticizing it is worrisome" on what grounds? he holds no office, we're not talking about the free press asking about lying under oath or something. the biggest criticizes is that its staged. And everyone else is like no fucking shit its staged. Crack eye you got there!
yo if it's on the basic ass level of kissing babies, where's your response to the people on the first page calling it "both fucking awesome and brilliant," "an uncanny ability to relate to regular people," "really fucking great"
it's either too petty to bother reacting to or it isn't
edit: can I just start quoting everyone on that page and replying "This is just routine political pandering. If you're bothering to make a post on this thread, there's some kind of problem with you"? i feel like i would cop a ban for hostility
Unlike your crack eye, where you misread my single-sentence post. I said that it was worrisome that it bothered you that criticism existed, not that one must criticize the thread.
Relax.
Are you fucking kidding me with this take? Where the fuck have you been for the last 4 years?
DO YOU KNOW WHO THE SITTING PRESIDENT IS AND WHAT HE DOES ON A DAILY FUCKING BASIS?!
Joe Biden is a decent human being. I wish I lived in the US so I could vote for him and get the current shitstain of a President the hell out of anything resembling power. He wouldn't have been my first choice, but God, he isn't a bad one either. Especially when compared to Agent Orange - It's either Joe or the shitstain.
I hope there are less people like you in November. With Covid being enough of an issue as it is, I couldn't take 4 more years of Trump.
The criticism is just perplexing. It's a turnoff that the man remembers things and keeps promises? WTF?
not being impressed by an obvious political stunt isn't even criticism. it's simply stating that you're getting nothing out of it. good for you if you do, i guess?
You think the firefighters think its shallow? Or maybe, just maybe they think its pretty awesome that someone remembered the promise for beers from 8 years prior? It obviously meant a lot to them.
Legitimately believe this moment could have secured Biden's victory on election night. Depending on how viral it goes. Americans love this stuff.
I, of course, as a rational, policy-focused lib (🙄🙄🙄) care more about the platform and the proposals and the plans. But in all seriousness, it genuinely shows that he or someone on his team cares and is paying attention. Biden genuinely seems to care about people and doesn't just do a better job of pretending to care about people, than the other guy.

I needed this, thank you
How hilarious would it have been for Biden to ask Pence to be his VP?
What part, the visit itself? Of course. Or the part where he actually bothered to remember visiting them years ago and had made an offhand promise at the time, just so he could specifically come back 8 years later and stage this visit? I mean, if you want to call all of that staged, it's still pretty impressive to have had the presence of mind to play the long game like that.
Of course it was staged. If the guy didn't bring up the beer Biden would have brought it up later. But it made those people happy and there was a little bit of humanity shown
Some of you guys are so cynical
I think a more accurate summation is that he has staff who saw a great opportunity to point out that he promised to bring beer, and it made for a great photo op.
Do you understand the difference between staged and planned? If my mother-in-law tells me she loves grapes, and a year later when I visit her with grapes, that's planned, not staged.
I'm explaining that, in all likelihood, it was not Biden's empathy or whatever that spurred this, but rather those around him who helped him remember this promise.
It was his personality that led him to promise them beer eight years ago.
Also, the very first thing that happens in the video is Biden touching his own mask. Not the best idea.
