Who cares. This isn't about Biden. This is about what's good for the country. JFC. These people have completely lost any semblance of doing things for the public good.
I've been fucking saying this. He thinks it is about him. He's gonna be dead. Nobody gives a fuck about your legacy except you unless you actually do something worthy of being remembered by. Even then it will be a footnote at best.
The future is now old man. Lead, follow, or get the fuck out of the way.
Exactly, both parties are continually proving our leaders needs and short sighted visions come first before any benefit makes it to the American people, both parties want bigger government with more control and power.
To try and appease the people who voted them in they will throw bits of effort at altruistic efforts and chunks of change at in demand topics of the public while we barely hang on to the quality of life the people worked so hard to get to the point where it is.
Both parties are corrupted at this point, but one is clearly better than the other. Fascism would tear this country apart at the seams. Democrats need to show better leadership management quickly otherwise they are going to lose this important race.
Actually, this whole thing has been about Biden’s ego from the very start, and it’s past time that be fully addressed.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
The country is actively fighting, and in some places losing against, fascism and Bidens response is 'but what about my feelings?'
This man never had what it takes to stop fascism and Ive held that belief since his first campaign. Tell me in the four years since has America gotten more or less fascist?
FUCKING THANK YOU!
This has been one of my main issues with this bullshit lately. The country is going through the most dangerous period in the last 100 years and grandpa Joe only cares about himself...
Sorry your ego had to take an L, but maybe just maybe, give a shit about other people? That'd be nice.
Yup. People are running around saying we must vote for Biden to fight fascism. But he isn't fighting. He's acting like it's still the 1990's and good centrist policy will work.
The country is actively fighting, and in some places losing against, fascism and Bidens response is ‘but what about my feelings?’
The country is fighting. One party is fighting for fascism. The other party is fighting against progressives.
I mean I get it, but Biden promised a one term deal for democrats. And it would be a hell of a comfort to see someone young enough to still have the mental flexibility to understand how new situations call for new solutions.
Bitch, this ain't about you. This is way bigger than your stupid, bruised ego. You ain't the best person for the job. You know it, we all know it. You just need to swallow your fucking pride and step aside for the good of the nation.
the fact that he's angry and feeling betrayed is the problem. we don't want a president who thinks he deserves it for himself, a president represents the people of a nation, not their own ego.
that's why I'm so angry with biden. I'm sure he thinks he's the best for the job, but read the room, have some self-reflection. sure it might be unfair to YOU personally that this is happening, but what YOU are doing to the country in response is arguably worse. I mean, I wasn't going to vote for him due to his genocide cheerleading but I'm digging my heels in even further since he's being such an obstinent fuck. if things are as dire as he's telling us, why is he and the party more concerned with an old man's feelings than the fate of this country?
I don't know why he can't be happy that he got to be president. Most people don't get to be president. Just pack it in and relax FFS.
Ego
We’re going to be fucking Nazis in three years if he loses. With all due respect, Mr. President, fuck your feelings.
Every Democratic senator running in battleground states is polling way, way ahead of Biden. The quite literal “unnamed Democrat” has a better chance of winning.
If he wants to stay in the race, he opens the convention on VP and vows to step down right after the inauguration. And let the new VP debate Trump next time.
There are too many people in this country who believe trump did a good job during his presidency. All they know is that they could afford shit under trump. This race is closer than anyone can imagine and Biden needs to realize his performance at the debate ended his presidency.
A large portion of the country already believe Biden broke the economy. It’s unfortunate that they are wrong but that is the optics of it all. Biden can no longer win this race. The only thing keeping him afloat was that he was doing a decent job with the other stuff and now that he is losing his mental acuity the people on the fence are going to choose trump.
At this point, with the way GA, VA, and NC are shaping up, Trump just needs Pennsylvania. The Democrats need every other state on offer plus Pennsylvania. Virginia flipping in the polls is huge.
It could be a bullet bump but combined with the donations being withheld it's not a close race anymore. Trump is firmly ahead.
Jesus he is coming off like such a whiny little bitch. He’s killing his own campaign, and the cause of death is the size of his own ego. I admit I didn’t have this one on my bingo card. I just hope he doesn’t end up dragging us poor bastards down with him.

There's a whole pattern of behavior here, and I'm certainly missing plenty. So I doubt progressives have a lot of patience for Biden's whining here.
If he's feeling betrayed, want till he learns how most democrats feel about his leadership.
He should have gotten out of the way in 2020 when Bernie was winning. Fuck around and find out.
Democrats love to shoot themselves in the foot in a struggle for power. The only reason we are in any of this Trump mess today is because they took Bernie's run away from him and gave it to a much less popular Hillary Clinton. If they wouldn't meddle Bernie would be finishing his second term and Trump would be an after thought, but here we are in this mess they created.
Two party system needs to end.
Ooh didims, this election is all about your feelings. I wonder if the Palestinians feel hurt or betrayed?
They're wavering because you need to show strength, stability, and confidence in a way you haven't been able to show them for a month.
If this is genuinely caused by an unlucky series of illnesses and you'll be fine as soon as you bounce back, great. They'll line back up behind you. If not... then it's time to bow out.
Oh no life is hard. Fighting his old white and rich, dude should just enjoy his last few years of life and get outta the way.
Boo fucking hoo.
America, it seems that you're doomed to live with your narcissistic lover forever.
