    He even said during 2020 that he wanted to be a one term president, that he was only there to beat trump.

    I guess you can argue he still needs to beat trump.

      I’m all for someone trying to beat Trump.

      It’s looking less and less like Biden will be able to pull that off.

      He literally never said that. This is pure propaganda.

        “If Biden is elected, he’s going to be 82 years old in four years and he won’t be running for reelection,” a prominent adviser to the campaign told Politico.

        I guess the words didn’t come from his mouth in particular but when your a politician, your staff are your representatives, and his said it.

        Can’t believe people would call our verifiable facts as propaganda so confidently with nothing to back it up…

          Like I said,

          He literally never said that

          One fucking advisor to the campaign said it. Not even his official staff. An advisor.

          “Verifiable facts”, my ass. It’s propaganda and you just repeated it without ever looking into it.

            Well someone on his team said it, someone that Biden chose to be on his team.

            When I go to the bank, what the representative says is basically the same as the bank telling me that info.

              This is the security dude out front of the bank 4 years ago telling you they for sure won’t get bought out. It’s not a fucking binding contract from the CEO.

      From what i recall, he was undecided. The media and others were projecting and suggesting that he should be a 1-term president. —Honestly, his vagueness about policy and his advocacy for nothing but the status-quo are primarily what led me to vote Green for the last presidential election.
