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.

    The parties do, not the people.

    Would you like to remind me what a party primary is, and what effect it has on the nomination process for candidates?

      Ever since democrats successfully argued in court that they are under no obligation to follow their own bylaws, a primary is kabuki theater. When we have them at all.

          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.
