“The only reason to hide the tapes, is they make Biden look bad. If he had his shit together, they’d be trying to release them to show people the report was biased.”

But they already released the transcripts. They are just refusing to release the audio. There isn’t new information to be gained. Just an opportunity for Republicans to splice and dice the audio for partisan purposes.

It is, and it’s a god damn world salad…

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/joe-biden/full-text-robert-hur-biden-classified-documents-interview-pdf-rcna142956

At one point he talks about how NASA can cure cancer with protons…

Americans don’t like to read, I’m not sure how an American hasn’t noticed that.

But all the shit we (rightfully) give trump shit about with his speaking ability and making up random shit is stuff Biden does too.

A clip of him talking about how NASA has a cure for cancer is going to hurt him.

And it does make sense he wouldn’t want that released.

But be better than republicans. Hold your “team” to higher standards than just the letter by someone’s name.

I don’t think Biden having dementia and spewing nonsense is news to anyone. Yes it hurts him and will draw more attention in audio than in text, which is one of the reasons they aren’t releasing it.

“But be better than republicans. Hold your “team” to higher standards than just the letter by someone’s name.”

No. Fuck that. We tried that and ended up with a conservative majority on SCOTUS. Don’t do anything to give Republicans or Trump an advantage. I’m just as disappointed as anyone that Biden is the best candidate the Dems can produce, and that his campaign slogan is effectively “better than Trump”. But I don’t agree with making it easier for Republicans to hurt your campaign just for the sake of taking the moral high ground. Save that conversation for when your opponent isn’t a literal fascist. Make the Republicans work for it. If the transcript doesn’t titillate your Fox News braindead audience then too bad.

Refusing to fight for Obama’s SC pick so that it could be used to get people to vote for a candidate disliked by most people from either party is not “having standards”.

It’s wild to hear someone even suggest that’s what happened…
