TBF yeah people were complaining that the creation of money for the stimulus checks in the midst of deficit was causing inflation, but the fact that the economy and inflation rate both recovered and they still blamed him means he should have done it anyways.
holds the door open for Trump
Controlled Opposition
…among other things.
Like not saying covid was “just a cold” how trump did?
I was going more Afghanistan…
You mean he followed through on the negotiation already done by trump? Missed that part right?
The surprise to everyone back-door, rapid-deadline, no time to secure weapons and bases, sacrificing human (re)sources, with a terrorist group while setting 5000 of their members free to rape and kill women and children, and now threatens to court Marshall the generals who followed the orders, withdrawal…
Just to make Biden look bad.
Joe Biden is capable of that without Afghanistan
Sure. Which makes it so. much. more. Pathetic. that trump had to be a little bitch.
Also stupid: ignoring calls that you’re too old, dropping out way too late for a primary and handing off to your VP who was not particularly popular last primary.
She’d had done fine if she did three things:
-
Continued the initial push of laying her foot into the collective asses of the MAGA collective. That first month or so was great and Dems needed that energy.
-
Gone against Biden and condemned the situation in Gaza AND remind everyone that Ukraine is still going.
-
Not listened to the idiot Dem “strategists” who seem so fucking convinced that courting modern Conservatives is a good idea.
Had she done these three things and even the shit communications of the Dems could not have stopped the word of mouth and internet celebrity status she would have had.
She didn’t though. Given the fact she never won a presidential primary it was unsurprising that she ran a poor campaign.
-
Also putting a heritage foundation sympathizer as your AG.
Not accounting postal board members who would remove the scum that is DeJoy.
Letting Israel genocide Palestine without cutting off the weapon supply. While also dragging us into shit with Iran.

You know, almost feels intentional. Would not surprise me, for sure. I can totally imagine that jackass thinking better for him to hand the reigns to Trump than to some dirty socialist like Bernie.
Almost certainly. The Dems in power aren’t worried about a second Trump administration. If anything, they’re excited for it. What terrifies them is the idea of a third party, progressive candidate getting office.
The Democratic primaries and caucus finished in May.
Calls for Biden to step out down started in June.
That’s not the whole story. The concerns about his age were present since before he was elected as president, which is what led him to promise to be a one-term president. His presidency was llagued with stories about his age and appearances that made clear he was no longer fit.
He reneged on his promise and, as the incumbent president, was a shoe-in for the primary, preventing a real primary involving real competition for the candidacy to occur. In June, the calls for him to drop out began coming from the highest levels of media and the party due to the disastrous debate, but Dem voters and the nation in general considered him to be too old years before that.
I’m sorry, but it is stupid to acknowledge that your age is a liability, then after 4 years have passed, refuse to step aside so that your allies are forced to downplay your fitness issues and elect you as forerunner of the party, then to be exposed right next to your opponent on an internationally-watched debate.
That’s the story as it pertains to your original statement.
I don’t remember him promising to be a one term President, so would like a source for that.
As it says, no public pledge. A story on a web page is not a pledge.
I never said “public pledge.” You can stop being disingenuous or stop replying to me.
Look who’s being disingenuous
He can’t reneg, as you said, on something you read on the web.
“I wasn’t a lying duplicitous bastard like Trump. That’s where I went wrong.”
just… what?
To be fair, it says a lot about the intelligence of the average American when a lot of them think these checks were from Trump’s personal bank account, just due to the signature.
Literally all you had to do was offer universal healthcare, as evidenced by *sweeping gesture at everything.
You need House and Senate Supermajority to pass universal healthcare, just like it took 60 dems to give us Medicaid Expansion and Protections for Preexisting conditions in 2010. We would have had Single Payer but Joe Liebermen was the sole blue holdout and he didn’t die until 2013.
That was my exact response - he’s right in a very limited sense, and notably a sense that hinges on the sad fact that too many Americans are dumbasses who thought that Trump’s signature over a check drawn on the US Treasury meant something, and therefore the absence of Biden’s also did.
Yeah, that was it…
Actually demented take
SURVEY SAYS
Biden’s take is correct.
He was.
A better point is refusing to listen to voters and keep repeating that the economy is great showed how wildly out of touch the modern DNC is.

Just get the fuck out of office already, Biden. One old fuck goes out, another old fuck comes in. Never ends.
I’d rather my food not cost three times as much as it did five years ago.
Well buckle up cause here comes the trump economy choo choooooo
I am fully aware how fucked we are. I don’t recall displaying any enthusiasm over that prospect…
You gotta love how the cost of everything went up 30% minimum but “inflation” is only up 3%
Well we at least agree on one part of that statement.
