The 81-year-old president said he’s bowing out after remaining defiant for weeks in the face of calls to withdraw from the 2024 race.
Good. He will be remember well for this.
I’m voting for any D, no matter what.
It’s a hard thing to come to terms with losing your edge with age. I’m glad he listened to reason in the end.
Good man.
Now let’s get this done.
What a stupid comment. Biden was getting stuff done. Everyone was cool with it until he said “I’ll tax the billionaires.”
If Trump wins, and god I hope he doesn’t win, we’ll totally deserve it, for being the party of ADHD.
What is it like, being that sure of… anything?
Biden was shaky at best. I doubt there was a real chance he would have survived four more years of the most stressful job in the world (for an honest person, trump of course doesn’t work like that).
I think he did the right thing, and his administration was very successful and more progressive than I think most of us expected. I’d vote for him again, but I don’t think it was best for everyone.
I can’t comment on him enduring four more years of leading the nation, but he would have won the votes. He was never my top option in the past. But at this point, the democratic party is playing with fire. Let’s just hope it pays off.
I thought leaving him in was playing with fire.
Nope. Because now the party is in real disarray. Mark my words: if Trump wins, it will be because of what happened today. And the democrats are to blame. Yes, yes, Russia, China, Iran, all doing an excellent disinformation campaign, yes, yes, the GOP is compromised, etc. But ultimately, the democrats opened the floodgates of opportunity for Trump to win “because the gates looked too rusty and we need to replace them.”
Biden was fine. And I didn’t even like Biden. I would have preferred Sanders over him or Clinton. But we know what the elite dems did to him.
Biden was far better of a President than I thought he’d be. But the way our dumb media works, and the way our elections are done, there is almost no way he was going to win after that debate performance. Then pile on the performances after that.
Trump and lie, lie, lie and openly state he’s going to be a dictator out for personal vendettas and the “liberal media” is going to maybe mention that, then move on to talking about how frail and senile Biden is. Even if he’s only lost a bit of his edge.
Let’s have a primary of sorts, and pick the candidate that can most likely WIN.
They were going to lose if he stayed in.
I can’t comment on him enduring four more years of leading the natio
That is exactly what this is about, not that he hasn’t done the job until now.
Give me a Jon Stewart / Katie Porter ticket!
Best news I’ve seen in a while. We sure could use some good news…
Now take Harris with you
No more people over 65 for any elected office.
That would be rather ridiculous. Age is just a number (especially as we may be on the precipice of age slowing/age reversal). I’d be for reliable mental acuity type of screening.
Exactly! Since the the eldest has survived longer than anyone else, they clearly kniw the most sbout survival.
Therefore, our society should have the eldest person alive make all the descisions, since they clearly know how to survive best!
That’s a bit too restrictive
Is it? 70?
After weeks of republican pressure… Who the fuck is running now? Only fucking trump.
No, it was the elite democrats who put the pressure. They heard Biden saying “I’ll tax the billionaires” and that was it.
Edit: Downvoted either by Trump sympathizers or people brainwashed by said elites. The media campaign was relentless.
That’s a death knell if he did. Bernie said the same thing at the end of this interview: https://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/amp/rcna161541
No, it was a whole host of people who are pragmatic and understood that he will not win. Trump is way ahead in the polls.
Don’t you think that if those people actually cared that much about their taxes, they’d just vote for Trump? And is it really that unrealistic that he simply recognized how bad his numbers were?
Everyone who thinks I’m a moron is a Trumper or brainwashed
How can man be so based?? Teach me
