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.

    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.

              democrats are spectacularly bad at learning.

              And so are performative leftists like you. I mean, assuming that you have any desire to effect change instead of celebrating your own moral superiority while marginalized groups are murdered by the inaction you pushed.

              But sure, work for the Republican victory for the 15th time in a row, THIS time it will cause a revolutionary crisis- sorry, I mean blowback - sorry, I mean progressive wave.

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

              Sorry, continuously banging the drum about how the Dems are worse now than they’ve been in the past 30, 40, or 50 years, despite the blatant evidence to the contrary and the utter lack of anything except feelies to back your stance.

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

              Ah yes, the party abandoned the left by…

              Having one of the most left-leaning Dem platforms in the past century?

              But it wasn’t enough. It’s never enough. There’s always an excuse for why you have to peddle fascism to teach the Dems a lesson, once and for all. Conveniently.

                At no point did I advocate for not voting, voting for trump, or voting third party. Not once.

                A platform they worked with republicans to kill when in office.

                Why would I try to teach people who already know what I’m saying and don’t care?

                  No, you ‘just’ repeated every right-wing talking point about how both sides were totally the same and that there was no stopping fascism as long as the Democratic party existed, denying all Dem progress, claiming that the Dems are worse than they’ve been in decades, and saying that Dems were exactly the same as the GOP.

                  But you said you were totally voting for Biden, so it’s okay, all of that means nothing. Just meaningless noise, definitely not amplifying whatever antivote propaganda you could get your hands on. :)

                  A platform they killed when in office.

                  Wow, I can’t believe Harris won the 2024 election and then killed her platform, very sad

                  Why would I try to teach people who already know what I’m saying and don’t care?

                  So now you reverse your claim, and say you weren’t trying to teach anyone a lesson. Which is it? Do you know? Do you care? Or is your answer “Whatever is most convenient for supporting genocide at the moment”?

                    I thought you were talking about biden’s 2020 platform. There is nothing that indicates harris would have better results than biden.

                    So now you reverse your claim, and say you weren’t trying to teach anyone a lesson.

                    Why would I try to teach people who don’t learn?
