Biden has absolutely nobody to blame for him getting ousted but himself.
Dems told him he should not run for a second term, and he ignored them and did it anyway.
Then, he proves all his critics right by absolutely imploding during the debate.
What did he expect?
Time to fade away into obscurity. Thanks for letting your ego get in the way of what was best for America.
Fuck this guy. Shouldn’t have been there in the first place. Now, to a large extent because of his decisions, we all have to suffer through the rule of the dumbest, more bigoted and greedy assholes ever.
But not angry enough to do anything helpful.
He fumbled his chance by historical margins when everybody was already scrutinizing his capabilities. There was no recovering from the debate. His legacy will be refusing to accept reality and bringing about an era that my generation may never recover from.
What does this say about Biden’s faith in Harris? I always kind of doubted that he actually wanted Harris, and suspected Harris was kind of foisted upon him. If he really believed in her as a person and/or politician, why would he be sitting here pouting and saying that he should’ve run instead? The whole camaraderie between them always felt kinda shallow and forced, and this really sends that feeling for me.
You shouldn’t have run for a second term, old man!
He should have announced he was going to be a 1 term president a year prior and gave a chance to find a better Democrat candidate. He’s senile and hardly able to run the country. No one over 70 should be president. No one over 70 should be in any office or judicial position. Our country shouldn’t be ran by the nearly dead. Even 8f some of them like Sanders are great.
He announced he was going to be a one term president when he was running for that first term. (I know a campaign promise isn’t an announcement, but it was supposed to be common knowledge before he changed his mind.)
That’s not really true, unless you can find better sources for it than I found.
The reality is his personal mental acumen is very, very irrelevant if he’s surrounded himself with trusted advisors who are competent. That being said, you can’t show up to a debate and look like you’re 200 years old and have no idea what planet you’re on.
The US’s only chance at starting to get better will have to have a leader and not a puppet. Being surrounded with politicians in your trust will keep things running, but just keep pumping out more of the same shit we have had.
“Being forced out” is a funny way to spell “losing the election”.
You still woulda lost, Joe. Dumb American voters wanted someone to blame for groceries costing more, and that blame went to you.
I originally read that as “genocide costing more” and was like “how true”
Sadly, most Americans don’t care about what happens to other people.
He should be feeling angry he’s going to be remembered for helping Israel commit genocide, refusing to step aside and let the younger generation lead, and enabling fascism, but his hubris won’t allow for that.
This is the most incredibly selfish thing I could possibly imagine. An old man moping about his inability to cling to power for another minute. As the next generations look on, begging for someone to act.
He paints Trump as a villain (rightfully so) but is so pathetic that he is unable to rise to any heroism. At least go out swinging.
Don’t know what I expected. But it is a slap in the fucking face to hear this.
And I’ll never stop feeling angry that he didn’t decide to step down after one term. The difference is that I’m going to live long enough to see the consequences of that decision.
I never stopped feeling angry that such an epic moron was elected president and used it to enable a genocide.
I’m so weary of this genocide narrative.
Yes, the situation in Pallestine is terrible. Yes, it seems like Biden enabled it.
The thing is, there’s so much more at stake here. Did you see the part people are doing Nazi Salutes now? Or any of the executive orders signed in the last 24 hours?
Things are getting so much worse.
I can only agree. The Democrats are just as bound to the funding of the billionaires as the Republicans, they just have to hide it better in order to have a chance to win something.
The Roman Empire fell slowly, and now it’s our turn. I only hope that true socialism can emerge from the ashes.
Stop the fucking fatalistic nonsense. Doomerism only fucking enables evil to continue to operate - GO AND DO THINGS.
I disagree.
It’s important to pick your battles. Control what you can control and practice acceptance for the rest. If you get worked up about every little thing in the coming months you’ll just get burned out.
It’s not about you Joe. Get the fuck over yourself.
He’s just pissy he didn’t get his own chance to fucking lose. Because in his heart, Biden also thinks the problem with Kamala is that she was a black woman. He sees no problem with his policies, his stance on Israel, his willingness to play nice and coy with Republicans, or his impending death. He seriously thinks that only he could “save” America, and that he could have won. All this, despite all the constituents of his party cheering when he stepped down and flooded his replacement with donations and praise.
I’ll say it again, rest in piss Brandon. People will compare you to Chamberlain or Brüning, and it will be a disservice to both those men. Your ego caused you to utterly fail your country, and we will remember you as a failure.
