Who cares. This isn’t about Biden. This is about what’s good for the country. JFC. These people have completely lost any semblance of doing things for the public good.
I’ve been fucking saying this. He thinks it is about him. He’s gonna be dead. Nobody gives a fuck about your legacy except you unless you actually do something worthy of being remembered by. Even then it will be a footnote at best.
The future is now old man. Lead, follow, or get the fuck out of the way.
I think it’s best for the country if he stays in the race because he’s the incumbent and the best (according to the polls) person to replace him is already on the ticket. Also, if you think they’re gonna put someone progressive up, I have some bad news. Essentially, take every position Biden has, and you can safely assume his replacement will be at best as good, and probably at least a little bit worse.
That ship has sailed. Americans don’t turn out for weakness. Whether it’s a squee while the 70 ton Main Battle Tank you’re riding in takes a jump or showing up to a debate cosplaying “confused old man”.
It’s not rational and political analysts hate it but it’s always been true. Biden had about a week to go on a barnstorm and show us the debate was a fluke and he handled it the exact wrong way. He stayed home and let his campaign staff try to spin things. He needs to step aside now.
because he’s the incumbent
There’s an argument to be made that incumbency could actually be a drag right now. People don’t feel the government is working for them and they blame those currently in power. We saw with Trump that a lot of people will vote for any kind of change, even if it’s objectively worse.
Exactly, both parties are continually proving our leaders needs and short sighted visions come first before any benefit makes it to the American people, both parties want bigger government with more control and power.
To try and appease the people who voted them in they will throw bits of effort at altruistic efforts and chunks of change at in demand topics of the public while we barely hang on to the quality of life the people worked so hard to get to the point where it is.
Both parties are corrupted at this point, but one is clearly better than the other. Fascism would tear this country apart at the seams. Democrats need to show better leadership management quickly otherwise they are going to lose this important race.
The country is actively fighting, and in some places losing against, fascism and Bidens response is ‘but what about my feelings?’
This man never had what it takes to stop fascism and Ive held that belief since his first campaign. Tell me in the four years since has America gotten more or less fascist?
FUCKING THANK YOU!
This has been one of my main issues with this bullshit lately. The country is going through the most dangerous period in the last 100 years and grandpa Joe only cares about himself…
Sorry your ego had to take an L, but maybe just maybe, give a shit about other people? That’d be nice.
I mean I get it, but Biden promised a one term deal for democrats. And it would be a hell of a comfort to see someone young enough to still have the mental flexibility to understand how new situations call for new solutions.
Bitch, this ain’t about you. This is way bigger than your stupid, bruised ego. You ain’t the best person for the job. You know it, we all know it. You just need to swallow your fucking pride and step aside for the good of the nation.
the fact that he’s angry and feeling betrayed is the problem. we don’t want a president who thinks he deserves it for himself, a president represents the people of a nation, not their own ego.
that’s why I’m so angry with biden. I’m sure he thinks he’s the best for the job, but read the room, have some self-reflection. sure it might be unfair to YOU personally that this is happening, but what YOU are doing to the country in response is arguably worse. I mean, I wasn’t going to vote for him due to his genocide cheerleading but I’m digging my heels in even further since he’s being such an obstinent fuck. if things are as dire as he’s telling us, why is he and the party more concerned with an old man’s feelings than the fate of this country?
I don’t know why he can’t be happy that he got to be president. Most people don’t get to be president. Just pack it in and relax FFS.
