    Can’t wait for him to be consistently humiliated, watch Trump clean house with a 48 state sweep and then collapse from a heart attack during the inauguration. 4 MORE MONTHS! 4 MORE MONTHS!

    Lol called it the other day dems are once again going to do the stupidest thing imagineable.

    The dems currently have two options.

    Switch him out now and actually have time to run a campaign for the new candidate or just run Biden the whole time.

    Based on my predictive reasoning of “dems will fuck up every election as badly as physically possible” i guarentee they waffle on this for another month, swap somebody in way to late, and squander both possible opportunities.

    It’s really not a good sign that “think of the fucking stupidest thing possible” is a really effective way to predict dems political strategies.

    The only thing that right now seems to be too dumb even for them is swapping him out for Hillary on October 20th, so I assume that’s what they’re going to do.

      I think all of the potential candidates are now hedging their bets and waiting to run in 2028 because they don’t want to be the person that ate shit against him after the assassination attempt.

        Yep, it’s also why the calls to kick Biden off the ticket have fallen off. The Democrats have just resigned themselves to defeat and would rather Biden eat the blame for it instead of the rabblerousers who get him ousted, who would have egg on their face if Biden’s replacement lost to Trump.

        Democrat politicians can be well understood when you realize that they are all just individual careerist opportunists with no greater plan or coherent party platform. Sticking one’s own neck out to get Biden out is risky and could have downsides, whereas Democrats being in the wilderness campaigning against Trump is easy and risk free. Democrat motto: Keep your head down, get paid, tell everyone they’re valid and you hear them

      Wish You Were Here came out in 1975

      Biden was born in 1942

      He was approximately 33 years old and already a US senator for 2 years when that album released.

      In 1975

      49 years ago

      Holy Fuck

        My favorite one I saw the other day is that Biden was born closer to the assassination of Lincoln then to his own inauguration.

      so, so you think you can tell

      heaven from hell? blue ties from red?

      can you tell a green party from a cold steel dem?

      a smile from a veil? do you think you can tell?

      did they get you trade your heroes for joe?

      hot ashes for trees? hot air for an israeli breeze?

      cold comfort for change? did you exchange

      a walk-on part in the genocide for a lead role in a cage?
