Biden addresses nation soon

Refusing to bow out after being begged to for months, and only then doing so because he had no other choice is somehow… “graceful”? Sure. Whatever you say.

Jill had said she wanted him to go out with his dignity. So much for that.

Don’t be fooled.

He was forced out. It was not some compassionate act. Either he withdraws or the 25th amendment is invoked by his own party.

This rewrite is simultaneously entertaining and flat-out pathetic. We all know he had no choice. How much better all of this would have been had he *actually* withdrawn on his own months ago. Instead, his ego and stubbornness has led him to be humiliated. And it’s all his own fault.

You are looking at it upside down. It says 8:09.

But he doesn't think he can go for four more years. That's the whole point. He has stepped out and passed the torch to a new generation. But a great man.

A great man would have announced their intent not to seek another term in 2023 so that their party would have the opportunity to nominate a normal candidate for the 2024 POTUS race through a competitive process. Thanks to Biden's selfishness, party leaders are appointing a nominee to replace him after he embarrassed the country and party. Biden is a step up from Trump but he is far, far from "great man" territory.

Why won't you stop it? He always said once he received the data and was able to consider it he would make a decision. That's what he did.

So saddened by and tired of people like you who flat out refuse to actually listen to what he's saying and watch how he's conducted his life.

You are determined to tear us all down.

DP. You know this is BS, right? It’s clear you and your simpleminded friends are determined to have everyone think Joe selflessly stepped down. The fact remains, he would still be the candidate had the powers that be (Obama, Pelosi, and dozens of D governors and congresspeople - not to mention, Clooney) not insisted he withdraw. We all know this. He was vehemently insisting he would never withdraw just ONE day before he actually did. Please stop rewriting history to suit your absurd “hero” narrative.

Joe and Jill didn't see it coming. The early debate was planned just to push him out. They sold it as 'Trump will refuse these rigged terms and we can run on that!'
The mystery is how they got Trump to play his part.
I was expecting it at the State of the Union, but I wonder if they also got to the medical team to get them to back off on the drugs during the debate.

yes, he should've withdrawn earlier, but he still had a choice to stay in the game if he really wanted to. I don't think Dems would've invoked the 25th. That would've been the death knell for the Dem party in 2028. But, he knew he couldn't win. So, he set aside his pride and did what was best for the party and country.

People with dementia can be very very stubborn (my parent and spouse's parent has/had alzheimers), so if he could put aside his stubbornness to do right by the country, then that tells me he doesn't have serious dementia.

And now we get the orange man or kacula Harris. Quite the boomer upside down we have going here. At least it’s entertaining.

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume this was a typo and not an immature Trump-like intentional misstatement.

DP. Oh, please! This, from someone who has no doubt gleefully called Trump “Diaper Don, the orange guy, Don the Con,” and FAR worse. How utterly ridiculous that a Democrat would lecture anyone on “immature” monikers. “Kacula” is actually spot on.

No, DonOLD is actually spot on. Drifted off during his trial (his felony conviction trial) and drifted off during the RNC. To use his own assessment, he’s become very “low energy,” even during his speeches.

Buuuuuuut now you’re stuck with the oldest presidential candidate in history, who should never have run a second time, and wouldn’t if he weren’t desperate to get back his presidential cloak of immunity. Your candidate is nothing but ego and stubbornness and wouldn’t know an act of public service if it hit him in the face.

So much pain and suffering could have been avoided if the GOP had any morals at all and hadn’t nominated a clown back in 2016.

I'm as anti-Trump as you are and agree with your statement in that regard but I also agree with everything the PP said regarding how much better off we'd be had Biden withdrawn from the race months ago. There are many people out there who have enough backbone to call out Biden and/or the Dem party for these missteps that led us to a presumed nominee that wasn't nominated by the people in a traditional manner. Most of these people that recognize this situation as something that shouldn't happen and speak up about it aren't Trump supporters. They are just normal people that are smart enough to recognize BS when they see it and they have the courage to call it out as they should.

I think the timing was genius.

The Republicans couldn't fight Kamala and wasted all their time on Biden.

Announcing after the Sunday shows also didn't let them spout about it there.

And once Biden did announce, the rallying around Kamala was immediate. She got the money and the delegates right away... no fighting.

Been a Dem for 50 years and have never seen this discipline in them.

Genius in some ways, yes but the presumed nominee was handed the political baggage of a candidate that was nominated by their major party without going through a party nomination process. Harris will legally and officially be the nominee if all goes as planned at the convention but this could and should have been done through a primary election process that gives a voice to the American people.

This ^^. The “selfless/heroic/graceful” nonsense is beyond ridiculous. His withdrawal was none of those things.

I’m a Democrat, you twat. And I stand by everything I said. We would be so much better off if Biden had done the right thing a year ago.

Implying that he does have mild dementia?
