        So would I, I’ve literally only cast one general presidential ballot for someone I wanted, and that was a quick disappointment.

        The point is: not enough other people will

        It’s an obvious enough point even DNC voting members realized it, that’s why they pivoted back to the focus being on getting votes and not just raising money and counting on being “the only other option”.

        Literally anyone with a D by their name is “the only other option” so this time we’re gonna try a fair primary to see who voters like best instead of shoving shit down everyone’s throats and complaining when they don’t thank us.

        He never got over his first lost in the 80s.

        At first, Biden was regarded as a strong candidate. In September 1987, however, reports emerged that he had plagiarized a speech by the British Leader of the Opposition and Labour Party Leader, Neil Kinnock. Allegations that Biden had engaged in plagiarism during law school and had exaggerated his academic record soon followed, and Biden withdrew from the race later that month.

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Biden_1988_presidential_campaign

        Biden’s campaign also hurt Dukakis, because it was the same neoliberal playbook the Clinton’s later used.

        He saw being Obama’s VP as a slap in the face, so when the oligarchs and Hillary told him he could be an empty suit president, nothing was going to stop him.

        I’m honestly still shocked someone got him to drop out of 2024. I think they just legit told him “you can’t run, sorry” over and over and his brain is so mush he just eventually went with it. He’s a dick, but there needs to be investigations into the last three administrations and all the elder abuse that our presidents have been victim of in the last decade, because otherwise the people who orchestrated get off with it.

        We desperately need to get back to actual presidents again

            Uh…

            He continued to plagiarize up to that point in his political career.

            He lied multiple times.

            When reporters fact checked them, Biden lied about being top of his class and claimed to have a crazy high IQ and called reporters dumb…

            He was a proto-trump in a lot of ways.

            It wasn’t the plagarizing that hurt him, it’s that the mask dropped and he showed he thought he belong to a higher class of people than everyone else.

            Please stop thinking you know everything about major political events because you read a social media comment that mentioned it, or even just entire Wikipedia articles.

            It’s not as simple as a summary

      It’s not the only reason Trump’s back in office. You should also consider

      • Biden’s complete capitulation to Isreal after Oct. 7
      • No Democratic primary where whoever ran would have had to make a positive case for the future of the country
      • Failing to take hold of any narrative, capitulating to the Republicans on every issue from immigration to healthcare to human rights.

        I’m not talking about how Biden/Kamala could have won.

        They’d have 100% lost to any none maga opponent. And a cynic would say that’s why his handles refused to hold trump accountable. Which makes sense because that’s how trump became the president in 2016, they were overconfident because it worked in 2020, so they rolled the dice and lost again.

        The silver lining is Kamala losing meant the DNC voting members had (and took) a chance on someone who runs fair primaries and supports whoever gets to the general.

        We know it’s different because he’s been hemorrhaging money from the “victory fund” that literally started all of this back to the state parties the money was stolen from over the past decade.

        That’s a huge advantage, we’ve been running every state Dem office at campaign levels for 18 months straight and will continue to do so till the next presidential election.

        The money is being used instead of hoarded for the next neoliberal candidate.

    Maybe if he was corrupt you could have directed your employee, Merrick Garland, to lift a fucking finger, rather than to play dead for 4 years. Except you didn’t, did you? You are the worst democrat failure in our lifetimes in terms of meeting the moment except maybe Schumer and Jefferies, and bitter too little too lates are all we get to show for it.

    Never forget SCOTUS handed him the power to do anything he wanted in the course of being president. Instead he sat around obsessed over continuing his campaign despite internal polling showing him losing to Trump by Reagan-like numbers.

    There is no version of events based in reality that makes this old fuck not a massive narcissistic loser, 2/3 of what he’s whining about. He’s not worse, but he damn sure ain’t the guy we should have entrusted to fix the problem.

      Biden is a piece of shit, but remember everyone in his administration was aware his brain was mush and covered for it so they could make unsupervised decisions, most likely for bribes or personal agendas.

      Everyone involved in White House administrations since Obama left office need blackballed for life, and it’s not even like they were great. They should be the furtherest right the Dem party goes at best.

        I see no evidence of bribes, but you ar3 obviously right about personal agendas. These agendas are why the appointees recommended by Bernie like Lisa Khan were able to inact substantial beneficial changes and Biden was able to take credit for it, but unsurprisingly often did not. Both because mushy brain and never having known that’s what his people were doing. His attention was available though, as evidenced by his behavior around Israel and Gaza, it just wasn’t a good thing to have when you’re trying to achieve positive change.

        You are incorrect about barring them all. Many were very good nominees. I agree about Blinken and Garland though, fuck them both.

        You have a point, ethics yes, but not doing what needed to be done (notice how the DOJ is being told to go find crimes for 47s hit list). 45 spent his entire time fumbling for the levers of power and only managed to break them. Biden comes in and expects things to be right where Obama left them and runs a by the book administration from 40 years ago, like Carter, but he got to do a little nepotism on the way out. Now 47 is back and the shit he broke was not fixed, corrpution, nepotism and cronyism are sorta the defaults now and the were all suffering for it.

        Shit like this, in a better world is something a country has to deal with once or twice a century… Millenials alone are dealing with round 3…

        No, dont whitewash his crimes. He stepped down after he was caught being incoherent in debates. He has zero regrets about the genocide. He’d do it again if he had the chance. He made Harris promise she would continue all of his policies in exchange for his support.
