Just what the race was waiting for. A 76-yo rich guy with ambiguous politics.

Nothing ambiguous about it , he's openly on the side of the bourgeois

This man is burdened by what has been.

Literally a race to the bottom. “We need to find the most hated person to run”

Ha.

Why on gods green earth would they ever let him back in? Also he's the most unliked man in the country behind maybe trump himself in lib circles, just a total lack of self awareness

Otoh he may campaign in butler PA without secret service protection so 🤷

Satire parody etc etc

ok so what's his angle? I figured he had a good consulting gig lined up

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

1. Maybe he wants a much better consulting gig.

or

2. He wants to be president before he dies so this is his last shot and he actually thinks he can win.

or

3. Both.

Fund raise off of scared Republicans who think that the Donald/Kamalah race is going to be a close one.

Outlet for "Biden or Buster"s.

Outlet for racist/misogynist Democratic Party and voters.

~~Stealing news cycles from Biden/Harris.~~ Blew his load way to early for this one.

Earlier today I said they won't pick Kamala but if her competition for an open convention is fucking Joe Blues Clues Machin. It's over.

Hw was really useful to them blocking legislation they wanted blocked. I am surprised he switched tbh.

There are dumber people, but I don’t know if there are dumber actions that they could take in this situation. Dude has already kind of alienated himself from the party, I don’t see how challenging the minority woman candidate is supposed to go for him…
