    Seriously.

    They said Biden couldn’t/shouldn’t run, but then also claimed he could still be president.

    Kamala set herself up to be the “shadow president” responsible for all of Biden’s failings, especially when she kept talking about how involved she’s been and how she wouldn’t do anything different.

    She acted like Biden was a beloved national figure and not someone who barely managed to squeak thru after being pulled left by Bernie and also trump actively being president.

    I have no idea why anyone would honestly believe Biden was ever popular, but the DNC is so out of touch they seem to have really believed it

    What matters more than anything is cleaning house asap at the DNC. They’re not fit to be our only other option.

      Joe Biden was a perennial Presidential Primary loser. His problem was not necessarily his ideas, but the fact that he said stupid things occasionally often. The word “gaffe” seems to have been made for Joe Biden.

      Donald Trump was the only person Biden could have possibly beat, because Biden’s chief liability became an asset. He won in 2020 in no small part because he handled Trump well in the debates.

      He had clearly declined in the 4 years since, not so much as to not be able to do the job, but clearly not well enough to win an election. I’m pissed we found out as late as we did. If Biden had stuck to one term, lime he had promised, then at least we would have had some discussion in the Primaries.

        If you look back to his first primary, he was an early favorite. But it didn’t last long once people got to know him for that to change

        What sunk it was when reporters found out he lied about his grades in law school, plagiarized important parts of it, and had continued to plagiarize speeches thru out his political career…

        He starts ranting at reporters that his IQ was higher.

        Biden was never popular, because the guy has always been an asshole that thinks he knows everything.

        . I’m pissed we found out as late as we did

        He was already too old in 2020, just because you didn’t see the signs doesn’t mean it wasn’t already happening.
