That shit like this is in the fucking news is not good for biden’s prospects, and, by extension, preserving America.

Like, I think we're all still trying to figure out this weekend and what it does to the calculus, but..

By refusing to have a serious conversation about Bidens viability as candidate starting 8 months ago, the astroturfers/ mainstream media, RW democrats seem to have pretty much guaranteed us a Trump presidency.

By sticking with Biden, both before the debate and after, you've doomed us all.

The conversation about Biden should have been held 4 yeas ago. All the signs were there that he was spiraling down but the pundit class kept having the working class silence those of us pointing out how he will be a fuckup

TropicalDingdong ,

We had that conversation. We were told to shut the fuck up and row; if you do we'll give you the platform. We shutted the fuck up, and we rowed, and we got the platform and we got him into office. Everything that Joe Biden gets to take credit for is because to get the progressive caucus, he made a deal to clone the progressive platform. And it worked! It was a deal well made. Yes, they ratfucked our guy twice. Oh well. We plugged our noses and did what we had to do.

Biden also, at that time, said he was running as a 1 term "transition candidate". It was how he was able to get commitment from people who really did think he was too old (and he was, but whatever, we needed to beat Trump).

But you couldn't get MSM or CNN to remind people of that point if your life depended on it. This isn't the election of 2020 and Biden is basically offering the voters jack fucking shit, because what he offered in 2020 wasn't his to offer in the first place.

The excerpts I've seen are pretty ugly. Biden can't seem to get through a whole sentence these days.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


WASHINGTON — After tempering attacks on Donald Trump following Saturday’s assassination attempt, President Joe Biden plunged back into campaign mode Monday, defending his decision to remain in the race despite calls for him to exit.

In an interview with NBC News anchor Lester Holt, Biden at times grew combative and said he isn't leaving the race even though some Democratic leaders have expressed fears that he can't win.

To see more of the interview, watch “NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt” tonight at 6:30 p.m. ET/5:30 p.m. CT. or check your local listings.

Biden’s interview is the latest in a series of events, rallies and Q&As he’s done since his dismal performance during his debate with Trump on June 27.

Alarmed by his halting delivery, some Democratic lawmakers have questioned whether he has the vigor needed to carry the fight against Trump.

Holt asked the president who he consults when it comes to issues like remaining in the race or dropping out.


The original article contains 276 words, the summary contains 162 words. Saved 41%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

This interview was horrible. Why does his team keep letting him do these?!

Here's another one he did...

President Biden: "By the way, I’m the guy who did more for the Palestinian community than anybody. I’m the guy that opened up all the assets. I’m the guy that made sure the Egyptians opened up the border to let goods through”

Anyone else read that first sentence in Trump's voice?
