Thank fuck. This man can go down in history as the savior of the Republic if he fucks off and endorses someone else.

    If Joe Biden sticks around and manages to win, he’ll be remembered as a pretty average president. If he sticks around and loses, he’ll be remembered as a politician whose arrogance hurt the whole country.

    If he withdraws without more fuss, he’ll be remembered as an extraordinarily decent and humble man, especially among politicians, regardless of the results of the election.

      Hardly. What is that based on? Are his accomplishments boring to you?

      Oh, I see you’re just making the case for him to withdraw. Eh, fair enough.

        I mean whether it’s true or not is one thing but there are plenty of articles about how poor his administration has been at communicating victories. That would prolly play into it.

            If they need to release articles informing the public of his victories because they have reports showing the public isn’t aware of his victories it would play into his legacy of being an average president. If everyone already knew about the victories they wouldn’t have printed those articles and would then be more likely he was remembered as an above average president.

              The public isn’t aware of shit. That’s not a reflection of the victories, that’s a condemnation of the media people consume.

        Well, yeah, I am making the case for him to withdraw. I think he’s a very good president and if he remains the Democrat candidate I’ll vote for him. I just don’t think enough people feel the same way for him to win.

        His accomplishment are, indeed, boring to the average voter. His agenda was the Democrat agenda. It was the right agenda, in my opinion, but any Democrat president would have been about the same. Willingly stepping aside, on the other hand, would be a noteworthy gesture of humility that we don’t see often.

          It’s pretty disheartening. People had a better opinion of the economy when me and my friends could only get jobs that paid in experience for 5 years.

          But in that case, even during the highest unemployment, most people still had their jobs so to them the only difference was things were cheaper, people were willing to do things for you for less money (or free of you’d tell your friends how helpful I was).

      If He steps side and the next D loses, it would also be biden’s fault for throwing away his encumbancy advantage.

      Remember, whoever gets chosen to replace Biden, even if it were Ronald Reagan, or mitt Romney, Trump and company will say they are even more liberal than Biden and will take away guns, force all women to get post 9 month abortions etc. And Maga, conservatives will believe it since there’s no evidence to the contrary. With Biden, he hasn’t fine those things these past 4 years. He’s Only “done a bag job”

      I feel like Biden is in a difficult situation and voters are partially to blame for electing Biden in 2020 over another younger/healthier candidate (i voted Bernie who is old, but seems healthier than Biden in some ways).

        Because Bernie has universal healthcare in his heart
