        So would I, I’ve literally only cast one general presidential ballot for someone I wanted, and that was a quick disappointment.

        The point is: not enough other people will

        It’s an obvious enough point even DNC voting members realized it, that’s why they pivoted back to the focus being on getting votes and not just raising money and counting on being “the only other option”.

        Literally anyone with a D by their name is “the only other option” so this time we’re gonna try a fair primary to see who voters like best instead of shoving shit down everyone’s throats and complaining when they don’t thank us.

        I’d vote for that scone over Biden as well. I’ve had a long life watching him be an absolute turd at every single chance he had.

      Yeah. The only person who could have prevented this, saying that he knew Trump was a corrupt loser just pisses me off even more. You fucked over the entire country because you were afraid to hold rich pedos accountable

        He never got over his first lost in the 80s.

        At first, Biden was regarded as a strong candidate. In September 1987, however, reports emerged that he had plagiarized a speech by the British Leader of the Opposition and Labour Party Leader, Neil Kinnock. Allegations that Biden had engaged in plagiarism during law school and had exaggerated his academic record soon followed, and Biden withdrew from the race later that month.

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Biden_1988_presidential_campaign

        Biden’s campaign also hurt Dukakis, because it was the same neoliberal playbook the Clinton’s later used.

        He saw being Obama’s VP as a slap in the face, so when the oligarchs and Hillary told him he could be an empty suit president, nothing was going to stop him.

        I’m honestly still shocked someone got him to drop out of 2024. I think they just legit told him “you can’t run, sorry” over and over and his brain is so mush he just eventually went with it. He’s a dick, but there needs to be investigations into the last three administrations and all the elder abuse that our presidents have been victim of in the last decade, because otherwise the people who orchestrated get off with it.

        We desperately need to get back to actual presidents again

          That makes me so sad that possibly plagiarizing a paper in college was enough to tank a candidacy. Our society has fallen

            Uh…

            He continued to plagiarize up to that point in his political career.

            He lied multiple times.

            When reporters fact checked them, Biden lied about being top of his class and claimed to have a crazy high IQ and called reporters dumb…

            He was a proto-trump in a lot of ways.

            It wasn’t the plagarizing that hurt him, it’s that the mask dropped and he showed he thought he belong to a higher class of people than everyone else.

            Please stop thinking you know everything about major political events because you read a social media comment that mentioned it, or even just entire Wikipedia articles.

            It’s not as simple as a summary

      It’s not the only reason Trump’s back in office. You should also consider

      • Biden’s complete capitulation to Isreal after Oct. 7
      • No Democratic primary where whoever ran would have had to make a positive case for the future of the country
      • Failing to take hold of any narrative, capitulating to the Republicans on every issue from immigration to healthcare to human rights.

        I’m not talking about how Biden/Kamala could have won.

        They’d have 100% lost to any none maga opponent. And a cynic would say that’s why his handles refused to hold trump accountable. Which makes sense because that’s how trump became the president in 2016, they were overconfident because it worked in 2020, so they rolled the dice and lost again.

        The silver lining is Kamala losing meant the DNC voting members had (and took) a chance on someone who runs fair primaries and supports whoever gets to the general.

        We know it’s different because he’s been hemorrhaging money from the “victory fund” that literally started all of this back to the state parties the money was stolen from over the past decade.

        That’s a huge advantage, we’ve been running every state Dem office at campaign levels for 18 months straight and will continue to do so till the next presidential election.

        The money is being used instead of hoarded for the next neoliberal candidate.

          Oh yeah. I’m with you on all of that. Just saying that the mechanics by which Biden, and the Democrats under his leadership at large, have fucked us goes way deeper than the failure to prosecute the orange turd.
