I’d rather it was someone else. AOC. Bernie. Anyone in that vein.

But if he’ll get the Dems to rally and DO SOMETHING? Fuck it. Give it a try. Maybe it will work.

What fundraising is he referring to though??

Fuck off Joe!

Anyone over the age of 55 needs to be in an advisory role, not a leadership role. It is literally the same fucking leadership today as it was 20 years ago.

RETIRE YOU OLD FUCKS

Oh my fuck.

get out

get the fuck out, Biden

You lost the whole show, you simple fuck. You handed the republic to the fascists. You did NOTHING to stop them. You shook his fucking hand and gave him tea. You couldn’t campaign to save your own fucking life, and your meddling played a major role in your successor failing (though Harris does not get a pass here either). If I never see your name - or the Clinton name, for that matter - ever again in my life, it’ll be too soon.

No, no. It’s worse. They did more than nothing. They specifically held back from prosecuting him because they wanted to run against trump. So Biden could attempt to stay in power by saying “oh it has to be me I’m the only one who’s beaten him.”

It's not struggling to find a direction, it's going in the opposite direction of Biden...

Which is a good thing considered that was bankrupt state parties thru victory fund then claim a president has zero power and can't do anything till it's time to campaign for the next election.

You can't spend 3.5 years telling people the presidency doesn't matter then do a 180 for an election.
