Biden Suggests Starting ‘Physical Revolution’ To Deal With Republicans
Oh? That would prove interesting if he weren’t just mouthing off for effect.
[DAILYWIRE] Democratic presidential candidate Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
...When the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the princes of greed. He said, 'Look, here's what happened.'...
appeared to suggest using violence against Republicans on Monday in response to a question about how he as president would deal with opposition to his agenda in the Senate from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

Biden, currently the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination, made the remarks at the Moral Action Congress of the Poor People's Campaign in Washington, D.C.

MSNBC's Joy Reid asked Biden: "How would you get past either a majority Republican Senate in which Mitch McConnell was determined to kill all of these ideas or even a Mitch McConnell in the minority who repeated the consistent filibustering when you were vice president and anything that came from the Obama-Biden administration Mitch McConnell considered dead on arrival?"

"Joy, I know you're one of the ones who thinks it's naive to think we have to work together," Biden responded. "The fact of the matter is if we can't get a consensus, nothing happens except the abuse of power by the executive."

"There are certain things where it just takes a brass knuckle fight," Biden continued, later adding: "Let’s start a real physical revolution if you’re talking about it."

#3 Actually, if a congress like the one we have today existed in 1860, the study of whether or not to undergo the Civil War would still be going on today...

#4 #1, that was before the society was so dependent up its energy infrastructure and grew its own crops locally. Most of those deaths in the last civil war were directly related to military. Today the collateral deaths among the civilian population from failed systems will be enormous. Think south Florida massive hurricane without any outside help to come to restore services and reestablish supplies across the entire country. No power, no hospitals, no water pumps, no sanitation, no delivery at industrial levels for basics of food and goods.

#6 I'll take my chances in the FL interior over NYC if the electricity, fresh water and food stop "magically" showing up on demand.

#7 First, Bernie wanted to start a revolution. Now, Biden has signed-on. Revolutionaries? Hardly. IMO, Swamp leeches.
