    Congratulations, you don’t have to vote anymore. It is what he said, right?

      I honestly don’t understand what’s different this time. He massively lost the popular vote both other times. Now he’s more popular?

        Not really, not all the votes are in yet, but he actually is polling behind his vote total from last time, 70M to 74M.

        It’s Harris that saw a steep drop-off in support. Biden got 81M votes, Harris so far only has 66M. The final amount will be higher, but there is a clear enthusiasm gap. Almost 1/6 of Biden voters simply didn’t show up. That makes it hard to win.

      You don’t have to be a misogynist to think Kalama was a terrible choice. The DNC could have had Biden drop out earlier, they could have had a primary and pick a different candidate, but no they have to go with a woman who slept her way into politics. Hillary was a better candidate than her and she was fucking bought and paid for by Wall Street.

    USA, you’ve let the world down and destroyed yourself in the process.

    I have as much sparky for what you’ve done as I have for the Russian people.

    Reap what you’ve sown, America.

    Your time is over.

      You talk like the rest of the world will be fine, while we’ve been already on track into a +3 degrees Celsius world BEFORE the shitface fascist won.

      OUR time is over.

    Every swing state went for him and it really looks like he’ll be the first republican in two decades to win the popular vote.

    This is the Biden legacy.

      Biden shouldn’t have seeked a second term in the first place. If I recall correctly, in his 2020 campaign he claimed he would step aside after his term, and now that he didn’t hold to it, we’re screwed. The Dems never had a full campaign, and Biden (unintentionally) sabotaged any chance they had to win. This is definitely how he’ll be remembered.
