“While it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as president for my term,” Mr. Biden posted in a statement on social media.
Thank fuck. Biden’s actually been a pretty good President and I say that after strongly supporting Bernie over him. He’s got some flaws and (including some pretty big ones, e.g. Gaza). But, he’s also had some good accomplishments and finally recognized that continuing to steer this ship intro the dirt wasn’t the best plan. So, Thank you President Biden and let’s all now pull together and get whoever replaces him elected. It’s probably Harris. Again, not my first choice, and I suspect the selection process isn’t going to be terribly Democratic. But, we missed that boat by not having a real primary. But, we now have a chance for someone without one foot in the grave and the other on a patch of ice, to beat Trump. Let’s not squander it.

All evidence is that he was pushed out by Obama, Pelosi, Schumer etc.
If he actually was on his game they wouldn’t have succeed. Its absolutely a sign of his age that he got pushed and he did the right thing to step down. its the wrong time but better late than never.
I mean, if his brain wasn’t oozing out of his ears they wouldn’t have tried.
Obama picked him as VP and then organized the takedown of Bernie in 2020. Obama is his fairy godfather.
Supporting a genoe isn’t just a flaw. Being a war criminal is a definite “nope” for a lot of voters.
Harris is a cop: Trump is a felon. Does it get anymore poetic than that?
next debate, she should bring a pair of handcuffs out and set them on the podium for everyone to see, don’t say shit a about them and just have the debate
Did you like when Harris was a cop and she argued for keeping prisoners past their release date because they needed the prison labor?
Or what about when she enabled the abuse of trans prisoners?
Or what about when she led to the criminalization of black parents to address truancy problems?
ACAB
(Also if you think this is a pro-Trump post you are incorrect)
I 100% agree. In 2016, she got dead last in my preference for Democrat candidates, and that was completely validated when Tulsi Gabbard completely wrecked her. In the last 4 years, she did absolutely nothing to gain my confidence in her. I don’t believe she’s a good person, a good politician, or even a good candidate.
But somehow she’s better than Trump. Maybe. I’m actually not sure anymore, because police and prison reform are really high on my list of priorities.
I’m definitely not voting for Trump, that’s a given, but I’m most likely not voting for Harris. If I lived in a swing state, maybe I’d reconsider, but I don’t so I’m not throwing my vote away to a candidate I strongly dislike. I hope Trump loses, but I don’t necessarily hope Harris wins. Screw them both, Trump should be locked up and Harris should stay home.
I thought this was a bit and loved it
Then i looked back at it and saw this staring back at me
Never felt more

He’s a fascist punk, and she’s a valet.
What more can I say?
Hopefully we can get a halfway decent candidate that isn’t going to continue support and fund a genocide.
I’m not holding my breath but if they want the best chance they should go with someone else. I think she’ll have a tough time beating trump
Who? They have to be:
- well known - they’re only getting a few months to build a campaign
- relatively centrist - a lot of people in the middle dislike Trump, so that’s who you need to court
- no major red flags - Trump will rip people apart, if the candidate has failings, they need to be conservative-friendly failings
- well-funded - perhaps the most important, and Kamala has the Biden-Harris money to use
She’s a terrible candidate, but I think she ticks the boxes above. I’m not voting for her or Trump, but I do think she’s the best option for the DNC, unless some billionaire decides to run.
Everyone involved in covering up his senility should resign or be forced out.
Keep the kopmala megathread handy comrades.
Hoping that’d be a good resource, I started at the top and started clicking some links that interested me. Deleted. Suspended for violating rules. And so on.
Finally found one on Bill Gates that worked, but when I searched for more info, I found it was FALSE: https://www.reuters.com/article/world/false-claim-bill-gates-faces-trial-in-india-for-testing-vaccines-on-children-idUSKBN22V262/
All that disinformation tells me to take anything in the list with a grain of salt.
