Biden finally jumps in....

[Yonadav]

We worship wealth and celebrity.

We treat politics like entertainment.

We seem to be determined to aggressively prove that democracy doesn't work.

We are a nation of posers. We want someone who will pay lip service to all the right things, but won't actually change anything.

If we really are as bad as you say, we are already hopeless.  What is the purpose of calling us hopeless?

I didn't say that we are hopeless. I don't know that we are hopeless. A made some critical statements about us that are true. Fixing a problem begins with acknowledging the problem. That's the point of making critical statements that are true.
