That stupid bastard really thinks he would've won.
Biden has absolutely nobody to blame for him getting ousted but himself.
Dems told him he should not run for a second term, and he ignored them and did it anyway.
Then, he proves all his critics right by absolutely imploding during the debate.
What did he expect?
Time to fade away into obscurity. Thanks for letting your ego get in the way of what was best for America.
Dems told him he should not run for a second term, and he ignored them and did it anyway.
During his 2020 campaign he fucking said he only wanted to serve one term, that he wanted to act as a bridge president. Then he proceeded to do absolutely nothing to put Harris in front of the country, absolutely nothing to set her up for an ezpz “incumbent” primary, and cock blocked the entire fucking country until the last minute.
I don’t know if he lied to our faces, changed his mind, or just forgot but fuck him regardless.
Edit - His only fucking job was to win in 2020, then unchain the AG or whoever to bring cases against every single person who used the Constitution as a cum rag as fast as realistically possible. He failed. He won the election in 2020, then just didn’t finish the fucking job. Fucking pathetic joke of an out of touch old.
During his 2020 campaign he fucking said he only wanted to serve one term,
Can you actually find him saying this, or is it only people on background who wouldn't allow their name to be printed next to the statement that said this and people's brains morphed it into an official campaign promise because they wanted it to be the truth so badly?
If he's bitter, just imagine how the rest of us feel, watching him disappoint us as we expected he would but hoped he wouldn't.
Fuck this guy. Shouldn’t have been there in the first place. Now, to a large extent because of his decisions, we all have to suffer through the rule of the dumbest, most bigoted and greedy assholes ever.
But not angry enough to do anything helpful.
I’ll never forgive him for not pardoning Mangione.
Or Snowden.
But don't worry, Hunter Biden is free to smoke crack without worry once again!
He fumbled his chance by historical margins when everybody was already scrutinizing his capabilities. There was no recovering from the debate. His legacy will be refusing to accept reality and bringing about an era that my generation may never recover from.
What does this say about Biden's faith in Harris? I always kind of doubted that he actually wanted Harris, and suspected Harris was kind of foisted upon him. If he really believed in her as a person and/or politician, why would he be sitting here pouting and saying that he should've run instead? The whole camaraderie between them always felt kinda shallow and forced, and this really sends that feeling for me.
He should have announced he was going to be a 1 term president a year prior and gave a chance to find a better Democrat candidate. He's senile and hardly able to run the country. No one over 70 should be president. No one over 70 should be in any office or judicial position. Our country shouldn't be ran by the nearly dead. Even 8f some of them like Sanders are great.
He announced he was going to be a one term president when he was running for that first term. (I know a campaign promise isn't an announcement, but it was supposed to be common knowledge before he changed his mind.)
That's not really true, unless you can find better sources for it than I found.
That article quotes Biden staffers who are attributing quotes to him. I must have misremembered him stating as much directly, idk. Fuck him either way.

You shouldn't have run for a second term, old man!
IMO he was weak the first time, too. Center-right Democrats are plague on the country.
Yep. They had to kneecap Bernie to make Biden a possibility. "If you don't vote Biden, you ain't Black." Wtf was that shit?!
You still woulda lost, Joe. Dumb American voters wanted someone to blame for groceries costing more, and that blame went to you.
I originally read that as "genocide costing more" and was like "how true"
Sadly, most Americans don't care about what happens to other people.
Teamsters went for trump after dems bailed out their retirement pensions. Americans don't even care what happens to them, they just want to feel like they're strong and powerful manly men.
"Being forced out" is a funny way to spell "losing the election".
He didn't lose an election though.....
He didn't? How would you describe what happened?
There was a primary election (without any serious challengers) that Biden won. He was pressured to step out of the race after the fact, and he endorsed Harris to run in his stead.
Piece of shit found out that what the party can grant him, they can take away. Unfortunately for all of us, the party acted too late in ousting his decrepit genocide-loving ass.
