      Is it? He single handedly tanked the opportunity to find a strong Democrat candidate through a primary. After being forced out he repeatedly made comments that saddled Harris with his baggage.

      He’s not 100% to blame, but no one is. He is probably about 30-40% of the problem though.

        I think the voters who voted for Trump are probably at least 90% to blame for Trump being elected by voters into office?

          Sure, but Biden/Harris hemmorrhaged about 15,000,000 voters between 2020 and 2024 due to lacking messaging that appealed to the electorate. Turns out that “this guy is a fascist but also we want to do bipartisanship with his party” doesn’t really appeal to people.

        Easily 60%

        Biden is trying to skate on his “Oh I’m an old grandpa looking figure, look at my creepy-ass smile.”

        As though people will forget how his actions (and inactions) curated the requirements for our current scenario. Including giving Harris a nearly impossible task, which she also managed to flub as hard as possible while lighting a BILLION dollars on fire.

          I’d hesitate to give him that much blame, as Harris could have ran a campaign that more aggressively separated herself from the administration, or one that campaigned for things instead of against Trump. She deserves an equal or greater amount of the blame.

      If you don’t see the direct connection between how Biden has governed and how that set up Trump to win, I don’t know that you can be helped.
