    Oh my fuck.

    get out

    get the fuck out, Biden

    You lost the whole show, you simple fuck. You handed the republic to the fascists. You did NOTHING to stop them. You shook his fucking hand and gave him tea. You couldn’t campaign to save your own fucking life, and your meddling played a major role in your successor failing (though Harris does not get a pass here either). If I never see your name - or the Clinton name, for that matter - ever again in my life, it’ll be too soon.

      No, no. It’s worse. They did more than nothing. They specifically held back from prosecuting him because they wanted to run against trump. So Biden could attempt to stay in power by saying “oh it has to be me I’m the only one who’s beaten him.”

          Agreed.

          It’s wild that Biden’s arrogance and conceit was a more important concern than winning the election. Everyone around him knew his brain was fucked.

            He’s probably more like a young child emotionally right now from mental decline, shouldnt have been allowed to be president.

          It’s not hubris though. They know what they are doing and they don’t care because they won’t be the ones hurt by it. They would legitimately rather Trump be president than win by having to adopt any kind of actually progressive policy. This is what all of their actions have shown us. Don’t give them a pass for incompetence, they are just as culpable for the situation we find ourselves in today.

          It’s been a while and searching for old news including the words Biden and trump is basically impossible, but I do remember seeing a like DOJ memo or something to hold off on persecuting. While it did not say the reason I listed above, I can’t imagine much other reason to do so and it’s not like they’ll come out and admit it was for that reason.

          Edit: and post I remember commenting on about it two months ago was deleted from politics…. so… can’t find it that way.

            Thanks for the added context. If they did intentionally delay prosecution (plausible considering how much time they had to do it but didn’t) then that’s pretty hard to excuse regardless of the reason.

    Bernie and AOC are the new direction. Biden wants back in to stop them. Fuck Biden!

    Make no mistake:

    This is not “help.” This is the neoliberal fascist collaborator backlash against help.

    What a weird coincidence that, just as AOC and Bernie begin a wildly successful tour of the country, we start hearing about the Biden’s wanting to help lead the party or Kamala being the the top choice for 2028.

    Anyone over the age of 55 needs to be in an advisory role, not a leadership role. It is literally the same fucking leadership today as it was 20 years ago.

    it’s not Biden.

    It’s the party.

    it needs a culling. absolute decimation. vote nearly all of them out. you know the very few that should stay. erase the rest from history.

    dude if a republican unwittingly says something that doesn’t call for death of trans people they’ll be immediately ousted. democrats out here capitulating to nazis. be a little republican. get them out.

      If voting worked they would abolish voting. Both parties have the same masters.

        They are trying to abolish voting, see voter suppression laws and pretty much every voting rights case the Supreme Court has seen during Roberts’s tenure.

    Christ almighty, no. It’s bad enough that the Democratic consultancy didn’t tell him to go fuck himself when he thought to run for president a second time.

    It’s not struggling to find a direction, it’s going in the opposite direction of Biden…

    Which is a good thing considered that was bankrupt state parties thru victory fund then claim a president has zero power and can’t do anything till it’s time to campaign for the next election.

    You can’t spend 3.5 years telling people the presidency doesn’t matter then do a 180 for an election.

      I don’t think it’s that. I think he truly thinks he’s had a good career and fought the good fight. He’s so out of touch, but he wants to help because he heard there’s a problem. Probably don’t even understand how his help might not be a good thing.

        I think he wants to help out of self preservation, because he still sees himself tied to the democrat party. If it implodes immediately after he loses an election (arguably his loss as well as Kamala’s), it will tank his legacy. He will be a big part of why the party died.

        So sure, yeah he wants to help the democrats, in a round about way. Its hilarious he thinks he could help at all though, rather than hasten its implosion.

        He could do anything selfless and it would work, I’m just not sure he’s capable.
