“While it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as president for my term,” Mr. Biden posted in a statement on social media.
Thank fuck. Biden’s actually been a pretty good President and I say that after strongly supporting Bernie over him. He’s got some flaws and (including some pretty big ones, e.g. Gaza). But, he’s also had some good accomplishments and finally recognized that continuing to steer this ship intro the dirt wasn’t the best plan. So, Thank you President Biden and let’s all now pull together and get whoever replaces him elected. It’s probably Harris. Again, not my first choice, and I suspect the selection process isn’t going to be terribly Democratic. But, we missed that boat by not having a real primary. But, we now have a chance for someone without one foot in the grave and the other on a patch of ice, to beat Trump. Let’s not squander it.
All evidence is that he was pushed out by Obama, Pelosi, Schumer etc.
If he actually was on his game they wouldn’t have succeed. Its absolutely a sign of his age that he got pushed and he did the right thing to step down. its the wrong time but better late than never.
I mean, if his brain wasn’t oozing out of his ears they wouldn’t have tried.
Obama picked him as VP and then organized the takedown of Bernie in 2020. Obama is his fairy godfather.
Pretty sure they are not on good terms. I dont think they have ever since Hillary got the 2016 nominations instead of himself, and then fucked up losing to trump.
Biden didn’t even run in 2016 because his son had just died of cancer.
Supporting a genoe isn’t just a flaw. Being a war criminal is a definite “nope” for a lot of voters.
Do you believe the other guy will be better in this regard?
West or Sanders? Definitely.
No, the orange felon.
If we want to defeat him, we need someone who the people will actually vote-for. That’s the point.
