‘Both Candidates Are Trash!’ Charlamagne Pushes Back Hard On The View Hosts Pressing for Biden Endorsement ( www.mediaite.com )

“The reality is I think both candidates are trash, but I am going to vote in November and going to vote my best interest and I’m going to vote for who I think can preserve democracy, so if I think both candidates are trash and I don’t feel like endorsing one, would you rather me endorse an individual or endorse the fact that, hey, we need to go out and defend democracy,” he said.

It was good. Did you watch him on CBS this morning? Think he expressed some of the same sentiment but made it clear that liberal outlets always ask him the wrong questions. Like is important to protect democracy. Instead they always ask about getting on board with Biden.

My man you need to be endorsing one of these candidates, then

I'm not tryin to start the same argument we always have, because we've had it before, so I'll simply say that the options are:

  • Biden is trash but I'm voting for him anyway
  • Biden's actually not trash, here, look at this chart

There is no third option that's within the bounds of objective reality, and the fact that that's not where our media is located doesn't change that.

I mean I probably will at some point; just based on that little snippet below the headline, maybe he is saying something general principle based and sensible. The both candidates are trash just got my hackles up 🙂

The fact that we only have those options is what's going to depress turnout enough to let Trump win on a technicality again.

Shithole country.

And I should care about this why?

Charlemagne has a massive audience and significant influence over a ton of people. It matters because he matters to a whole lot of people, many of whom are underrepresented.

He also implicitly says he's voting for Biden. Are they both shit candidates? One's a turd. One is actual nuclear waste. You may not want to hold them both in your hand but there sure is one you'd prefer.
