    he lost me at this quote - “I’ll feel, as long as I gave it my all, and I did the goodest job as I know I can do, that’s what this is about,”

      If it’s a good enough attitude for kindergartners’ soccer games, it’s a good enough attitude for fighting fascism.

        “You sound like you’re 14” - an actual quote from a MAGA liberal I just read on another thread

        Really weird how everything liberals accuse leftists of is a projection.

        Really weird how the difference between fascists and liberals grows thinner and thinner by the day.

    He only got the job because democratic party leadership decided to coalesce around him in 2020.

        There were lots of good choices in 2020. Sanders was probably the most well-liked and respected, but there was Buttigieg who came out with the very first set of delegates in Indiana. Honestly, I thought Biden was the second worst candidate running for President during the primary, about a million miles ahead of fucking Bloomberg, but just when it looked like it was over for Joe, a miracle saved his entire campaign and rocketed him into the nomination.

        We need another miracle like that. Without it, I don’t see a path to winning again. The fence-sitters are going to plunge us back into a second Trump term and an inevitable fascist dictatorship.

      still hoping for change a decade later

      Democrats and Republicans have had long enough to show they can do a good job time to let someone else try

          That argument falls flat when he is not the average American considering he has Monaco’s level of health care which would allow him to push all the way to 90.

            No amount of healthcare can stop mental decline from old age. It happens to all of us eventually and it is very obviously something that has been happening to Joe Biden. I’m grateful for all he has done as President but it’s a good thing that he has decided to step down from running again.

    If Biden is the nominee, Trump wins. It’s literally that simple. I’m personally fine with that because I think Joe Biden deserves to be remembered and hated as the selfish narcissist and right-wing enabler he always has been.

      PugJesus tries every day to convince me to vote for Trump, and it’s starting to work.

      After all, MAGA is all about voting for harm reduction and I know Reds are winning anyway. I might as well pass the purity test they’re going to require so I don’t get shot.
