    The amount of cycling Biden does he should average falling off at least a couple times a year.

    Sanders, the Vermont senator, democratic socialist and two-time presidential candidate, took on Lindsey Graham, his Republican Senate colleague from South Carolina.

    Sanders gave an unfettered breakdown of Medicare for all, or a national public healthcare system, a living wage, and increasing taxes on the wealthiest Americans.

    For Fox viewers it was a rare opportunity to hear a different perspective on policies which are regularly demonized by rightwingers Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity, Fox News’ two most watched hosts.

    For Sanders, it was a chance to reach a new audience, and he wasted no time before diving into a signature issue – universal healthcare.

    “In the United States, Lindsey, we spend twice as much per capita on healthcare compared to the people of any other country, while major countries like Canada, the UK, Germany manage to supply healthcare to all their people,” Sanders said.

    “Why is that?” he continued. “Because they’re not having insurance companies ripping off the system.”

    Several polls have shown that a majority of Americans support Medicare for all, despite the Republican refrain that much of the US public is thrilled with their private health insurance.

    “The real question is what the American people want. And you know what the American people do want? They do want Medicare for all,” Sanders said.

    “You talk about the joys and beauties of private insurance. Talk to the millions of workers who lost their private insurance during Covid,” Sanders said to Graham.

    After being criticized by Graham for being a “socialist”, Sanders leaned into the political philosophy and offered an ardent defense.

    “Do you think raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour is socialistic? Do you think doing what every major country does – guaranteeing healthcare to all people – is socialistic? Do you think expanding Medicare to cover dental care is socialistic?” Sanders said.

    “I think most people, frankly, will tell you what they tell me: that the Congress is way, way out of touch with the needs of the American people,” Sanders said, adding: “We have a corrupt political system dominated by wealthy campaign contributors.”
    They will never allow this sort of thing again on the GOP propoganda network after this. They were hoping Bernie would flounder since they bought into their own nonesense about him being dim.

    And that expectation that Sanders would flounder is telling of how stupid Fox News really is. Bernie has been saying the same thing for decades about universal healthcare -- you'll never get him to say otherwise about how advantageous it would be for Americans.

    I, for one, am heartened for Biden's chances if all they can drum up about him is "man falls off bicycle, be outraged"

    He's never ridden a bike, he's scared of falling off the edge of the world

    Reminds me of Bush hitting his head on a table after falling and people joking that Cheney was abusing him. Anyways, Biden is almost 80 and is still capable of being active. That's a fairly big accomplishment. Although, maybe he should think about just taking walks. And not running in '24. And a few other things.

    Because he believes the earth is flat. Dude is a right wing shill and conspiracy theorist. Common sense is not part of his makeup.

    It's no surprise to me that a man who can't walk up stairs and can't walk from point A to point B without following his wife would have trouble just staying on a bicycle when it's not even moving.

    I know, as a flatearther you probably don't believe in things like gyroscopic forces either, but a bicycle will actually tip a lot more easily while standing.

    Bro, your guy literally couldn't walk a few hundred meters and needed to ride a golf cart. And also had problems walking down a slight incline.

    Find another hill, Hamburger Hill ain't the hill to die on.

    Hey, look, it's a liar. Lying his ass off. Because he has nothing to do but try and chuck a rhetorical Molotov into the conversation, not realizing he soaked himself in vodka in the process.

    Here's the footage again, since you obviously missed it.



    As you can plainly see, the bike wasn't moving when he dropped.

    Oh, the lie wasn't that he fell off his bike. He did. Everyone does, at some point, if they bike at all. Especially when it's at a stop, and you don't have gyroscopic forces keeping you upright.

    The lie was the claim that Biden can't walk up stairs or has to follow his wife around. That was you spewing garbage-tier horse shit because you have no shame whatsoever.

    I can't believe we've reached the point in Biden Derangement Syndrome that you're obsessed with a dude on a bike.

    I once tripped over a hole when I was 17. I also onve fell and put a dent into a wall. Ive fallen down / up the stairs in my house a few times. I also cant ride a bike worth crap. Clearly, Im actually an 80 year old, and not 30+.

    Point being, trips and falls are a perfectly normal part of the human condition. They may be more concerning for older poeple due to injury risk, but its normal. Whats not normal is not being able to lift a glass with one hand, or walk down a ramp without help / being slow.

    His foot got caught on the peddle. Trump can't even stand upright, or drink water with 1 hand, or walk DOWN a fucking ramp without help. Trump would never be able to ride a bike, he can barely drive a golf cart.

    Not fucking surprising you are peddling bullshit crap like this.

    Man, I really wish people would stop explaining that "humans fall sometimes" to the troll... He knows. He's doing this shit on purpose. Like he always does.
