      Only because he did such an embarrasingly and obviously bad job. Maybe his party should have been pointing out that the emporer wasn’t wearing any clothes, instead of pretending that he was qualified.

        Kay, but he wasn’t running at the end? They did criticise his acuity that’s why he stepped down.

          Yeah, after gaslighting and alienating voters, which led to Trump getting elected. I feel like he should be called out for handing the elction over to Trump on a silver platter, because that’s exactly what he did.

            Nah he didn’t hand the election to trump in a silver platter, ignore the possibility of vote manipulation, there was a lot more involved, including institutionalized racism and misogyny.

            Biden did a lot of bad shit, he did some good too. I’m all for holding elected officials to task, but to blame trump solely on biden is ignoring so much.

            K so… he wasn’t able to be elected, and wasn’t a concern at the end. So no need to moan about him anymore

              I can whine all day long, our current POS in the WH is there because liberals refused to see what was staring them in the face. Accusing everyone of pointing it out as bots, or Russians, or trying to get trump elected, or any myriad of bullshit that happened to be the trend at the time. There is literally a rule here about bot accusations because of liberals.

              Those that don’t remember the past, or acknowledge it, will repeat it, again and again

                Nah, the reason trump got elected is multi- faceted, but Americans wanted him over a woman. You can 100% acknowledge it, but the we tried to warn you is the irrelevant part lol.

                  trump was elected because people who would vote for an opposition party didn’t see one and stayed home.

                    And were content with the possibility of trump being elected, yes. The effectively two party system in the us meant it was with kamala or trump.

                  Well, I think being a terrible candidate that ran on unpopular platforms and alienated voters, all while trying to be as similar to a highly unpopular president might have also had something to do with it. I don’t think being a woman was that big of a factor. The fact that we tried to warn you is highly relevant. Learning from your mistakes is how you stop making them, but the Democratic leadership keeps refusing to do that.

                    What unpopular platforms did he run on? Pausing federal student loan repayments? Boosting the irs’s funding to help catch tax evaders? Reduce Healthcare costs? Help funding for service members who suffered from exposure up toxic burn pits? Halting federal executions? Investing in climate change initiatives?

                    We tried to warn you would be relevant if he was elected, which he clearly wasn’t so no it isn’t relevant. Look the dnc is a fucking joke but this fake outrage is silly

                  Gender had nothing to do with why she lost, she was a shit candidate that bowed to keep all the issues that people had with Biden in place while cozing up to people barely left of trump.

                    centrists keep banging the “women can’t win” drum because they don’t have a woman on their bench who is as popular as AOC. They’re holding back all women to stop one progressive woman.

                    I think gender had a lot to do with things. She was a mediocre candidate, leagues better than trump, yet Americans were content with the possibility of trump being elected.

            Just because he was forced out for trying to tax the rich, doesn’t mean the guy still wasn’t in the running anymore. Stop sucking drumphs micropenis and get a life already.

              The party didn’t want to risk the primary being won by someone to his left, so they gaslit the nation until his decline became undeniable.

              Then they kept going for like a week with pathetic excuses like claiming he was jetlagged from a trip he took 12 days prior.

              lol, you mean the guy that gave hand-outs to the rich? Lets be real: He was forced out because he did such a bad job during the debate that the rich could no longer deny how bad of a job he was doing. Spin this any way you want, but he got the boot because he was in clear cognitive decline.
