[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The posters having tantrums about the DNC need to grow up, and give it a rest.
The DNC didn’t do this.
This is all on  Joe and Jill Biden.
No one was going to challenge the sitting president. Literally you are asking dems to relinquish the only advantage going into an election where both parties are known entities: which is the power of the bully pulpit. 
No democrats was going to run against the sitting president and it’s childish, ignorant wish casting to pretend it was ever an option.[/quote]

Biden said he will serve only one term when he was campaigning in 2020.[/quote]

Biden lied. [/quote]

To be perfectly accurate, he never actually said he would be a one-term president but he implied it or let it be assumed by others. So, no, he didn't lie, but he didn't correct the widespread misconception (which I, among others, fell for) either. Politicians are slippery that way.

"So Biden never explicitly made a one-term promise during the campaign, but he certainly implied it with the language of “transition.” You don’t typically think of eight years in office as a “transition.” And he had surrogates talking to their pals in the press planting the seeds of a single term, for a Democratic electorate that never saw Biden as their first choice, just as an acceptable consensus pick to take out the hated incumbent."
