I normally try to refrain from too-direct political discussion here too, but I feel I need to comment on this:
Stuff like this is why we have Trump as President: because the Democrats somehow just can't keep from shooting themselves in the foot, over and over and over again.
Seriously, how out of touch do you have to be to make a comment like Biden's?
And don't forget, this is a guy who voted for the Iraq War in 2003, so somehow he has a problem with game developers "teaching how to kill", but he has no problem with actually sending young people overseas to kill real people because of some obviously made-up BS about WMD. What a hypocrite.
My prediction: this year, the Democrats will nominate yet another lousy candidate, who will go on to lose the general election to Trump. Then we'll have a huge recession. China will eventually take over as the sole superpower.
- ggggtez 7y agoI'd be careful making blanket statements like that. If you think Biden is unique because the article might give that impression... You'd better look again. In my estimate, nearly every politician in the House and Senate publicly blame video games for murderers. Here are a few Republicans saying the same thing a few months ago. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/08/05/kevin-mccarthy-dan-patrick-video-games-el-paso-shooting/%3foutputType=amp https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2...
- magduf 7y agoIt's not surprising that Republicans would say similar things. Republicans don't have that much appeal to young voters anyway (at least not ones into video games), nor are they looking for that vote. The Dems are the ones trying to court the younger voters.
