    I had literally never seen this dumbass RBG comparison until a day or so ago. Suddenly, in the past few days, I’ve seen multiple people use RBG as an argument against Biden.

    This is absolutely astroturfing.

      I’ve been thinking it since he started hinting that he’d run again, as have most of my left-to-left-leaning friends

        You and most of your left leaning friends have been making a specific comparison between Biden and RBG for weeks? Can you articulate why?

          Yes, but it isn’t necessarily complicated. We don’t want people wielding power longer than they should. RBG, whom I admire immensely, was a fool to not step down. Biden represents a political return to form that inadequately services vast swaths of Americans. They aren’t specifically related, true. But I think Biden, while certainly effective at certain objectives, is incapable of navigating the pulse of many younger Americans.
