That’s a crazy thing for him to say. The election isn’t just his own little personal competition.
You didn’t watch his interview?
Watch it, he’s completely out of touch with reality and only cares about himself.
Not even “both sides” bullshit. trump would still cause more damage, but Biden is in no way capable of being president.

It’s 20 some minutes, just American up and watch it.
There’s not much time left to get the DNC to boot him, he’s not leaving on his own.
Wow an old fart falling on the spear of hubris where have I seen that before, oh yeah, RBG.
Literally every old person with a modicum of power or importance acts like this
We’re so fucked. Biden is so fucking selfish and out of fucking touch that he literally going let Trump win.
If he doesn’t get his head out of his ass and Trump wins I hope he pays the consequences him and rest of his family. Because he literally will be handing America over to a fucking shit head fascist fucking all of our families.
I refuse to watch it. I’ve checked out at this point. He won’t drop out, and he is 100% going to lose the election. I’ve seen this show before. Spending an hour watching the same fucking story with a different actor is a waste of time. I knew Hillary was going to lose in 2016, and I know Biden is going to lose in 2024. My state is deep blue, so there is no reason I can find to even bring myself to care about this freakshow anymore.
In reality, yeah, but it sounds like he wants to show a bit of maturity to set him apart from his opponent.
Well, I know you definitely didn’t watch the interview…

Nothing in there was mature, and he said he wouldnt drop out unless “lord god” told him too. Wouldn’t entertain the possibility that some people may think he’s too old. Refused to believe he was losing in polls, refused to believe people had called for him to drop out, refused to answer a bunch of questions, or acknowledge there was any chance of him losing…
But then when he says he really doesn’t give a fuck if trump wins after spending 4 years saying trump winning would be the end of America…
This is an example of him showing maturity and a good thing to you?!
he said he wouldnt drop out unless “lord god” told him too.
I don’t think that’s exactly a fair characterization. He was being given a list of one person after another with “what if X asked you to drop out?”. It would be complete idiocy for him to say yes to any of that. So, he used the “lord God” expression to make it clear that his answer wasn’t going to change. Whether or not he is open to dropping out, he’s not going to nod in that direction publicly unless he’s already decided to do it. Frankly, it was a dumb line of questioning.
spending 4 years saying trump winning would be the end of America
End of America for plebs, he basically said the quiet part out loud here that he is rich enough that his life won’t change even a bit for the worse, if anything it might get better.
There is a whole: “I’m doing this for you and if you don’t appreciate it I’m just gonna lose and enjoy my money with a trump presidency” attitude imo.
With his current mental state I’m pretty sure anyone could hide behind a bush and tell him they’re God and that he should drop out. I think it would work.
So I guess it’s not a big deal if Trump wins? It’s not an apocalypse if he wins? This is like advising to make your own coffee while the banks get bailed out. When it comes to people voting, people should vote for Biden even if he can’t string a coherent sentence because Trump is the absolute biggest threat to democracy, but when it comes to Biden stepping down, it’s okay if he loses to Trump as long as he gives his best.
This isn’t the mentality Democrats need right now.
This fucking party lmao
Right? I don’t think Biden is able to appreciate the gravitas of this election. Like physically unable.
Well, as me and my family are torn apart and sent to re-education camps at least I’ll have the comfort of knowing Joe “gave it his all”.
No you fucking didn’t.
Giving it your all would preclude doing things that decrease the number of votes you’re going to get, such as ending the rent moratorium, refusing to pack the court to protect Roe (because that would make it political lmao), trying to close the border, and facilitating a genocide.
You wanna be able to say you gave it your all? Drone strike the SCOTUS and use every means at your disposal to keep the fascists out of power.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why he should not be the candidate. Not because he’s old or whatever. Because he does not understand that if he loses, we fucking lose democracy. Not a joke; not hyperbole. We get to have Russian-style “elections” for the foreseeable future.
He is so fucking wrapped up in his own ego and hubris that he is going to drive us straight into the fucking wall. He’s so far up his own ass about his ability to compromise that he can’t comprehend that fascist elements of the Republican Party (but I repeat myself) have no intention whatsoever of compromising or negotiating once they really get their hands on the reins of power again.
He is betraying his oath of office. He’s not meaningfully protecting and defending the constitution from threats foreign and domestic, and he hasn’t done so effectively for basically his entire term. As a historical parallel, it’s like a mashup of the US in 1859 and Germany in 1932. It’s baffling, infuriating, and horrifying, in equal measure. His head is demonstrably not in the game - and it seems he doesn’t even understand the game he’s playing (that’s not a “he’s old” quip - I’m talking about the fact that he continues to bring a deck of cards to the shitshow gunfight that is modern American politics and expects to get good results).
