Fuck me, he doesn’t even care about the real risk Trump poses, not only to the US, but to the world. I don’t care if he’s done a few good things in his time, Biden’s literally going to hand the presidency back to this felonious fucking psychopathic liar.
I swear in 2016 I got blipped into an alternative dimension where eventually everything will be consumed by the langoliers
Edit: The US invented MRNA vaccines, and we get the piece of shit from The Apprentice to hold our nuclear codes, handed the baton by a senile old man asleep at the wheel.
Yeah but we won’t be.
Remember when they said Joe Biden was too old in 2020? He has a really impressive 3 1/2 year track record compared to the absolute train wreck he followed and both Democrats AND Republicans actually prefer his policies. The orange rapist/felon sucked big time.
Well, if he had a long life ahead of him, he should worry a lot since donnie and his goons will seek to lock him up. This country will not be at peace if Biden fails.
If the neofascist movement captures America, the only thing standing between humanity and disaster will be the British and French nuclear arsenals.

Treason Trump - War Criminal Putin - Comrade Xi
-when Biden fails
The small solace I have in this universe is that the same worms will eat him
Does he really think that he is the best candidate or does he intentionally ignore the possibility of someone else having better chances of winning?
To me it sounds like greed and pride affecting his judgement. What a shame to add this to ones legacy
Is someone on the edge of realizing Trump is a result, not a cause? People dismissed as wackos were warning about this for 20 years or more.
He’s mistaking qualifications with electability. To be fair, boomers grew up in a society that was much more of a meritocracy and he’s probably confused about what century he’s in.
I mean he’ll be dead in a few years. The shitstorm may start in 2025 but it will take a few years before it’s an issue for him.
Unless Trump has him SealTeam6’ed. You know, with immunity.
If Biden loses us democracy, then he deserves nothing less
I just wish he’d take these domestic terrorist threats seriously and send them all to Guantanamo while he still can… You know, “officially”
Omfg I hate this guy. Die already. Acting like this is some kinda fucking game. Pathetic.
He’s going to give it his all, but also he’s going to make sure that he gets enough sleep and avoid scheduling events past 8 pm.
I don’t see a problem with this. Your definition of “giving it all” would mean him collapsing at some point. That’s not giving it all, if the goal is to serve the American people.
Dude, if he was a firefighter and said the same thing, what would you’re answer be? If there is a fire after 8 pm then you are up fighting the fire. Same with a nurse on call, an air traffic controller, etc. This is a requirement of the most powerful position on earth making decisions that literally impact all of humanity and the fate of western democracy.
If he can’t do it he shouldn’t be running. Go be a prof or join a corporate board or something if you want a 9-5 and a stable bed time. The president of the United States needs to be able to operate on very little sleep and past 8 pm because this is the fucking real world…
Ok, sure, sure, but at this point, that’s all we got. Give it all (then die and set the political landscape back to Trump-era bullshit), or recognize your limits and respect them in order to do the job as best as you can.
What should we be doing different that would NOT give Trump the presidency? Do tell, please. I’d love to be wrong.
Unironically I absolutely believe that pacing yourself properly is the only way to actually “give it your all”. Unless you want him to load up on stimulants of questionable legality, but those might actually kill him before election night.
Yes, the campaigning equivalent of a slow shuffle is realistically what “giving his all” means for Biden at this point. The problem is his insistence that this is also better than what anyone else could possibly do.
Better for someone his age.
What do you realistically want him to do? What’s an example day for him, according to you?
I agree with you, but at the same time I can’t think of any other candidate that would both (1) have enough name recognition to motivate semi-apathetic democrats to vote, and (2) not rile up the semi-apathetic bigots into counter-voting.
According to the gossip, Biden has said that if he does choose to step down, he’ll promote Harris. I don’t think Democrats will have much of a problem supporting Harris, but I’m concerned being a woman of color will motivate a lot of bigots into a counter-vote when they might have otherwise stayed home. The next best pick might be Buttigieg, but then you get the homophobic bigots coming out for the counter-vote. Newsom might be the next best after that, but then you have the anti-California lunatics coming out to counter-vote him.
As much as I don’t want to cater to bigots, I think the stakes are just too high here. If it were a campaign against Mitt Romney then I wouldn’t think twice about running any of these people, but when we’re on a razor’s edge against America spiraling into a fascist dictatorship, every risk needs to be accounted for.
Obviously Biden should’ve declared back in August that he wouldn’t run for reelection so the Democrats could run a primary and build up someone to have name recognition and a positive image, but now it’s too late for that 🤷♂️
I know it is just a wet dream but plenty of french-leftist would love to see AOC as president.
Young, woman, Latino. That would anger the conservatives so much and she would probably do very good things for the US population.
But hey no judgment, maybe tomorrow (Sunday 7th) we will be fucked as well…
I would personally love to see AOC as president. Unfortunately I don’t constitute a majority of the electoral college, and right now that’s the only backstop we have against the descent into a fascist dictatorship.
No, I want him to make the biggest sacrifice he can make. Give up his ego and step down.
Official Act to lockup the fascists as domestic terrorists, then bow out of the race.
People can be released from prison. Fascists require a more permanent solution.

Bernie Sanders is older.
Also time for napsies in the after noon
Also no meetings before 11 in the morning
This isn’t the mentality Democrats need right now.
This fucking party lmao
This is absolutely a game to the wealthy. They win no matter what.
Eh it’s just the end of democracy and well being of Americans. As long as he gave it his all. /Shrug
Well if he said he’d do what it takes, would that make you feel better? Because you know “his all” is all he has right? And if he gave all of it, should he be ashamed?
Right? I don’t think Biden is able to appreciate the gravitas of this election. Like physically unable.
I doubt he is able to do much of anything. It feels like watching Weekend at Bernie’s.
We’re all going to die because another Boomer won’t retire.

This isn’t going to end well. He needs to fuck off.
Joe Biden is on track to win. Anyone else LOSES.

Everything else aside, I really dislike it when I read a shitty, low-effort reply like this one.
Why bother using more words in response to shitty posts?
To show the rest of Lemmy you’re not an easy block?
Couldn’t give a fuck.
easy block
If he’s in the general, I’ll vote for Biden’s head in a jar if it comes to that, but this is starting to have some real Hillary 2016 vibes about it. There are a whole lot of dipshits out there that think they are more or less the same because they are both old white guys, which is just Peak Stupid, but there you have it.
I think someone else given the chance, like Gavin Newsom, would build a brand in time for the fall. They’d have to much free press as a consequence of being chosen and if we get someone that is a real GD fighter for Americans they’d do well, IMHO.
If he doesn’t use his brand new immunity powers to have the military remove his opposition then he hasn’t “given it his all”.
And you know if Trump gets in power he’s going to doing exactly that to his adversaries.
Spoken like a person who will not have to live long under the consequences of that hubris, and whose family wealth will insulate their offspring.
I’m gonna vote for you, Biden, but your personal “peace” is a shitty umbrella the rest of us don’t get to live under.
I wonder if he’ll feel that way when he’s put on trial on live television and sentenced to death. Or, if that doesn’t happen, if he’ll feel that way when millions of minorities are killed by trumps brown shirt equivalents or sent to camps to die. Course, he’ll probably be dead by the time everything comes to fruition even if he doesn’t get sentenced to death cause he’s so old.
