minus-square@0110010001100010link24•1 year ago That’s basically the only reason Ole Joe has stuck around. He basically straight-up said that: If Trump wasn’t running, I’m not sure I’d be running Joe Biden
minus-square@givesomefuckslinkEnglish8•1 year agoYeah, but he also said in that same interaction that “at least 50” other Dems can beat him. So its not that he thinks he’s the only one that can beat trump and that’s why he’s running. It’s either a pride thing, or similar to Hillary he thinks trump is the easiest possible opponent and he’s will to risk it so he can be president
minus-square@stevehobbeslink3•1 year agoI think you’re misunderstanding those two phrases. “I think I can beat trump” and “50 democrats at beat me” does not mean that “50 democrats can beat trump”. Primaries are different than general elections.
minus-square@givesomefuckslinkEnglish-1•edit-21 year ago… In what world would the “him” Joe Biden is saying 50 other Dems can beat referring to anyone besides trump? And why are you talking about primaries? The party won’t support a primary against Bide as an incumbent. So there just flat out isn’t going to even be a primary.
