I look forward to hearing all their “olive branching” and trying to reach across the aisle and proceed to GET NOTHING DONE WHILE STILL MANAGING TO SUCK OFF THE PEDO PROTECTOR PARTY.

We do not want ANY olive branches. They proved who they are. Everything they ask for needs to be shot down immediately (aka vote no), just like they always do. Put them in the corner, shame every one of them that keeps their job.

2 years to find a non-genocidal candidate WHO CAN WIN.

As if ability to win has been a major concern for the last decade of DNC candidates

Whether you want to admit it or not, Biden was actually the best candidate strategically, which was proven right. It says more about the US people that we all want to believe.

If it wasn’t for Covid, Biden wouldn’t have stood a chance. Then Biden completely fucked over 2024. He was not the best candidate.

I can do speculations too, if his health wouldn’t suddenly deteriorate, he would crush in 2024, but since he wasn’t an actual final candidate, we couldn’t tell, just as we can’t tell what would outcome of the previous be if not for covid.
In the end his win record was 1/1 which is kind of what you want from a candidate.

Except we can tell. He was the only candidate that polled even worse than Kamala. And you’re delusional if you think his health decline was sudden.

You can always tell looking backwards, yes. The power of hindsight is infinite.
And yes, his health decline was sudden. He went from a normal old fart (an ideal American preferred by most) to an old fart with severe terminal illness in a span of weeks, not even months.
Listen, you can convince yourself to whatever, you can believe in whatever, but if you look at voting patterns, you can count on the fingers of one hand the times when broad American public chose someone who isn’t an old white conservatively leaning man, given the choice. You might not like it, I certainly don’t, but you need to come to terms with what your country is made of, if you want to stop being perpetually surprised why aren’t you achieving anything.

Hindsight? I’m referring to polls that were widely available at the time.

His health decline was not sudden if you were paying attention. His aides were even trying to hide it.

And now you’re trying to move the goalposts. We’re not talking about all candidates, or voting trends, we’re talking about how Biden was an obviously bad candidate. You can avoid the topic and keep your head in the sand, it ultimately doesn’t matter anymore. What does matter is that we learn from that mistake moving forward. Have real primaries where the DNC doesn’t put their thumb on the scale and instead lets three voters choose who they want to vote for. It’s a very simple idea.
