      I agree, they never should have let a sunsetting cancer patient delude himself into thinking he should go for a second term, and in fact both his and Feinstein’s handlers belong in prison for elder abuse.

      Biden did as well as could be expected from a liberal but I didn’t expect much. He got handed all the tools he needed by the Supreme Court and high roaded this nation into fascism for nothing.

        The description of Jean-Pierre’s book jabs at the party’s decisions during the summer of 2024, including “the betrayal by the Democratic Party that led to” Biden’s decision to drop out of the presidential race.

        He probably could have won the second term though.

          Horseshit. He was done after the debate. Whatever they put up Trump’s nose to make him seem somewhat coherent for an hour was enough.

          He was at a campaign fundraiser, and failed to recognise a close friend of 15 years. Didn’t remember his name or that they were acquainted. That friend was George Clooney. That man had no business being in public office. Hell, he shouldn’t have been outside his home without adult supervision.

          Bro he was less popular than the lady that lost and cancer is eating his balls, let it go. If he’d won the debate, maybe, but instead he looked like a dying grandpa (because he literally is) that cared more about golf scores than America or not enabling genocide.

              So you think his incoherent rambling was just senility then? There isn’t a win here to be found my guy. He was sick or senile, either way he was unpopular, unethical, and no longer fit.

                Read a transcript of the debate and its clear he isnt “senile”. Hes old as fuck and took a while to make his point. Like any 75+ year old person naturally does. Virtually every point he made was perfectly cogent, especially by comparison to the rambling delusions of Mango Unchained

                  He also has a speech impediment that allowed him down. Supposedly he had a cold too, but that one felt dubious

                  Remember when he invited Zelensky to the White House and introduced him at the press conference as “Vladimir Putin”? What a fucking liability.

                  Or when he closed his last State of the Union with an explicit threat to attack Russia, a fellow nuclear armed state, just off the cuff. At least when Trump does it no-one gives it serious credibility.

                    Wait, Trump is way more incoherent and jumbles things up than Biden ever did, he just does so at high speed because he is amped up on Sudafed

          There was no way. Not a chance. Have you forgotten how deeply unpopular he was during the campaign, especially after his debate?
