    The Bidens need to stay the fuck out. For good. You killed your own political dynasty, dipshit. Stay down.

    Edit: Jesus fuck, what a complete tool:

    Former President Joe Biden has told some Democratic leaders he’ll raise funds, campaign and do anything else necessary for Democrats to recover lost ground

    Really? You’ll do anything to recover the ground YOU lost? Except keep your promise to not campaign for another term? Or listen to constituents instead of consultants? Or do anything meaningful to preemptively stop fascism? Or bow out of the presidential campaign when it becomes painfully obvious that you have neither the temperament or mental acuity for the situation at hand? Or relinquish control of a presidential campaign that isn’t yours anymore? Or-

    You get the idea.

    Stay down, Biden. Your “help” looks a whole fucking lot like leading lambs to the slaughter. Nobody wants you or your help.

      Yes I heard he was Satan, and that’s the sole reason people voted for rampant fascism by a kleptocrat. All his fault.

        Man he was such a good president, he did such great things that are helpful to the average american, like:

        … … … …

        Well he’s not Trump so that’s good enough for all the deaths from COVID, social murder, Mexican cages, Gaza, the trans healthcare crisis, abortion being made illegal, not arresting Trump so he’s back in office…

        Trump is so awful the bar is in hell, walking on the bottom of the ocean floor is better but not great.

          He actually did do a bunch of good things. The reason you can’t name them is b/c Ds never talked about it. Probably some dumb reason like “results will speak for themselves”

    Is Biden compromised or something? He doesn’t seem to realize that his name is fucking poison to dems and reps alike. Why is he so intent on fucking us over more? You destroyed us. Fuck off.

    Biden had his chance and squandered it by failing to build any trust with the voting public. We need a completely new generation of leadership and that includes house and senate leadership.

    No. Thanks for your service blah blah blah, but his generation of limp dick, self serving moldy dinner rolls are what got us here in the first place. Take Chuck and Hakeem with you

    The best thing he could do is be just as visible as an ex-president as he was while he was president…

    Meaning the most I want to hear from that asshat is a few mumbled sentences between exiting a building and entering a vehicle, but I’d prefer to just never hear from him again.

    Neoliberals have poisoned the party to the point that we’d all be better off if we never heard a squeak from them again

      It physically hurts me to think about the number of times here, on this platform, people tried to gaslight us on this.

      First it never happened.

      Then, when we showed them the interview where he said it, we were told it was just “misconstruing” what Biden said.

      Then, it wasn’t a campaign promise.

      Then, when in 2024 when Biden confirmed it was a campaign promise, it didn’t matter, because “beating Trump” was too important; but if “beating Trump” was so important, then why were they insisting on sticking with Biden?

      I just. Sometimes I can’t even.

        That didn’t happen. And if it did, it wasn’t that bad. And if it was, that’s not a big deal. And if it is, that’s not my fault. And if it was, I didn’t mean it. And if I did, you deserved it.

        The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. His heart sank as he thought of the enormous power arrayed against him, the ease with which any Party intellectual would overthrow him in debate, the subtle arguments which he would not be able to understand, much less answer. And yet he was in the right! They were wrong and he was right.

        It sucks that the Democrats are the Republican party of 2012.

    The only way he could help is if he invented a time machine and went back in time to convince himself to announce he isn’t going to pursue a second term in 2022. Or immediately stop supplying Israel with bombs after it became clear they weren’t going to stop. Or better yet, go back to 2020 and don’t screw Bernie out of winning the nomination. Selfish prick.
