New: Bidenworld explodes at Harris over the book excerpt after years of simmering tensions. “Vice President Harris was simply not good at the job,” said one former Biden White House official. “She had basically zero substantive role in any of the administration’s key work streams, and instead would just dive bomb in for stilted photo ops that exposed how out of depth she was.”

Biden is “not the reason she struggled in office or tanked her 2019 [presidential] campaign,” the ex-official said. “Or lost the 2024 campaign, for that matter. The independent variable there is the vice president, not Biden or his aides.”

Oh no, mommy and daddy are doing liberal infighting. clown-to-clown-communicationclown-to-clown-conversation

    No, Biden very clearly was fundamental to the 2024 loss.

    Now, if she had been able to run a full campaign, if he had stepped aside from the very start, then yes we’d probably still be here today with Trump in office. But she was not given the space to fail on her own merits.

        Hexbear doesn’t let you do that, it’s a site policy from an issue years back with people trying to post inappropriate content

    If that is true what is said about Harris; it makes the Biden administration look even worse for last minute switching her out without a convention to vote for most eligible.

    Obviously both Harris and Biden were incompetent, each in their own ways. They were the wrong people at the worst time

    Vice President Harris was simply not good at the job

    So you’re saying that on top of everything else, Biden was terrible at picking a running mate?

      no he picked the perfect running mate, someone that nobody would want to run in his place. He just didn’t expect to be THAT demented by 2024

    not to defend kamala at all but that quote about her being out of her depth and having zero substantive role in the administration, in relation to biden who was napping the entire time (and when he wasn’t napping he was just struggling to stay awake) and was definitely not the one making decisions or steering the ship is pretty funny.

      Pretty much this and napping is putting it mildly. Biden was making constant gaffes and wouldn’t remember the names of world leaders and stuff, and this idiot had the nuke codes… supposedly.

      What is even worse is how they had to keep him on all kinds of medications just to stay awake for 15 minutes to give a press conference. To be clear Biden deserves to suffer all kinds of hellish torture you can imagine imo, but what the “Biden team” did to him in the last 2 years(probably longer) is still unironically elderly abuse if it was any other normal person and society.

      So on one side dissing on the incompetent grifter second in charge.

      On the other side unironicaly treating your fave as a human puppet on a string while he cries in pain half the time while shitting his pants and not remembering the name of the people next to him the other half the time.

    So exactly like Biden was as VP?

    all these psychopaths knew and hid biden’s dementia for 5 years just to stop bernie winning in 2020 and to stop bernie running in 2024. they didn’t care about the general, though would have liked to win obviously. None of these peoples’ lives are ruined now that Trump won. They had way more to lose if Bernie won. They knew if they lost they could always just blame it all on Biden, which is exactly what Harris is doing(“107 days” waaaaaaaaaa cry more).

    If trump’s fbi decided to go after everyone involved in the cover-up, I’d support it.

    If she never had a significant role why the fuck was she made the nominee? That argument doesn’t make Biden look better. Idiots. Every single person in that white house.

      For real, I love it when these grifters are so out of touch that they make self-damning statements they misjudge as exculpatory. The idea that they chose to run (and managed to win) with a VP this “out of [their] depth”? It doesn’t make them look good at all, really just points to how they see huge groups of people as not individuals but basically fungible members of optically-useful demographic categories.

      “No no you all don’t understand, let me explain, this embarrassment wasn’t Biden’s fault, it was Harris! She was terrible at the job, useless honestly, we only chose her cuz she’s a woman and black!” That last phrase is left out, of course, but exactly what happened.

      Textbook libshit.
