I feel angry and betrayed that the guy who got elected by heavily implying he'd be a one term "caretaker" president went and used the power we gave him to help slaughter and starve a bunch of innocent men, women and children and is now clinging to power in the face of record unpopularity and is costing us our democracy.
The narcissistic entitlement of this man is quite literally Trump-like in its scale. Acting like a child having his toy taken away.
No one cares that you spent your whole life chasing the presidency, Joe. You're unpopular and your legacy will be that of the guy who funded one of the most egregious genocides of this century.
To be fair, he clearly was saying in 2020, he's only in it to keep the orange menace out. And here we are 4 years later and the orange shitstain is threatening again.
"Acting like a child having his toy taken away."
Dementia has that effect
He never said that. Unnamed people that had no authority to say it did, but he and his campaign explicitly said he had no intention of only running one term.

Like I said, it was heavily implied to get him into office. He never corrected anyone because he knew it was helping him.
What do you mean he never corrected anyone? I already provided a link with him and his campaign explicitly saying that he had no intention of only running one term.
