The question Joe Biden keeps asking: ‘You think we can actually come back from this?’

Actually, I do blame him for overestimating his health, and thinking he had enough in the tank for another run. He clearly did not.
Would Harris have still been the nominee had there been an actual primary? Maybe, maybe not. But whoever won that would have been a better candidate.
I was extremely pissed off after watching that debate. The man I saw that night simply didn’t have it anymore, and it was more than just jeylag or a cold. There was nobody close to Biden who could have sat down with him before the election and told him directly that he didn’t have it anymore?
We talk about how Trump surrounds himself with yes-men and sycophants. I think Biden didn’t do much better.
Biden was one of the best presidents in my lifetime and he would have been for a second run too.
Being a white male he probably could have pulled off the win again too.
Not after that debate. If he had stayed in, all Trump would have had to do was play clips from it.
I do think that he was a very good President. His entire legacy is tarnished by holding on too long. If this is it for America, historians will write volumes on how Fascist America was enabled by people like him (and RBG) holding on to power past their “best by” dates.
Uhh, I guess that really depends on how old you are? If you’re a millenial you’ve only seen 5-6 presidents and half of them are Republicans. So the “best of” list is really just like 2-3 people.
He would have only won if his staff could successfully manage a Weekend at Bernie’s campaign. And even then, that doesn’t make him the best or right choice.
Trump is not Biden’s fault but Biden failed to act to prevent another Trump presidency by not aggressively prosecuting the J6 coup.
Bro. It took Biden until October '24 to even realize that half of america lives pay check to pay check and is struggling to buy fucking food and housing.
Biden was not a good president. he just wasn’t as bad as some of the others, and that’s an incredibly low bar.
Also, good presidents lock up pedophiles.
one of the reasons Kamala had such a hard time was that she wasn’t coming in on a fresh campaign, but rather trying to clean up and fix the mess Biden handed her. (there’s other reasons like not distancing herself from biden on certain issues, too. And racism. racism and mysogeny probably didn’t help, but that was surmountable.)
You’ll notice all these comments are basically a criticism for Biden not being the superhero they wish for…
None speak to anything the admin did or what actually happened during his four years vs the four prior or after…

Plenty of things to criticize but this mindless bullshit misses the forest for the trees…
Getting ratio’d on this site by people who don’t put up candidates, organize parties or hardly even vote doesn’t mean much.
Democrats are by far either the most popular or the second most popular party in the states in every single modern election.
Democrats and liberals are not alone in our beliefs.
Getting ratio’d on this site by people who don’t put up candidates, organize parties or hardly even vote doesn’t mean much.
Actually, you are fucking with a very engaged crowd that is by and large far more politically educated and engaged than you are, which is why you are getting ratio’d with pushback.
I’ve explained this before.
I used to be much more left than I am now.
Spending time on this site and seeing how the leftists keep gatekeeping and infighting lead me to believe they’d never be a useful political bloc so I became a liberal so I can help defeat the republicans.
Any sane political movement would welcome me under their tent but leftists spend most of their time telling others they aren’t good enough to be there until it’s a thousand small tents with one or two people under each one.
so I became a liberal so I can help defeat the republicans.
You mean like the democrats who are in full control of their primary process and who pushed liberal sweethearts hillary, then biden, and then harris down our throats? Those are the liberals helping to defeat republicans?
