Former President Joe Biden was diagnosed with an “aggressive form” of prostate cancer, according to a statement from his personal office Sunday, and it has spread to his bones.

“Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms. On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone,” the statement said.

    I’m just not going to pretend that the party doesn’t pull every dirty trick in the book to shut out everyone but the rightmost candidates they think they can get away with.

      No, no, go on, maybe you can rehash some “2016 rigged!!!” theories about how every poll was wrong (paid off by the SHADOW CABAL of the DNC, of course) and the election was stolen from Bernie.

      I mean, you already outright admitted you think primary elections are meaningless and participating in them means nothing.

        I mean, the party argued as much in court.

          So yes, as usual, pushing “Don’t vote! Don’t vote! It’s pointless!” rhetoric while claiming you totally vote all the time, whenever you can. Anything to help the fascists and Israeli genocidaires you so adore.

            You spent the past year cheerleading genocide and now you’re cheering for cancer.

              I literally pointed out at every opportunity that Israel was absolutely committing genocide, and, for that matter, has been for years. But apparently working as hard as you could for the more genocidal candidate to “teach the DNC a lesson” was more important than the millions of Palestinian lives that were at stake.

                Trying to get the party to abandon support for a genocidal apartheid regime is not “teaching anyone a lesson”. I was trying to get democrats to ditch an unpopular policy so that they would stand a better chance of winning. You wanted them to keep it.

                  You’re absolutely right in that you’ve taught no one a lesson by continuously banging the drum about how the Dems are worse now than they’ve ever been and painting them as no different than the GOP on Palestine.

                  You have, however, contributed to a fascist victory and now the quite literal millions of additional deaths that will ensue because of it. Congratulations!

                  You wanted them to keep it.

                  lmao

                    democrats are spectacularly bad at learning.

                    continuously banging the drum about how the Dems are worse now than they’ve ever been

                    Ever? God no. The parties switched places on segregation back in the 60s.

                    You have, however, contributed to a fascist victory

                    The party abandoned the left but not netanyahu. You were fine with the latter as long as you got the former.
