      Honestly, because we had clear expectations for Biden when he was elected.

      Close the inhumane border camps.

      Deal with Covid.

      Prosecute trump and his collaborators litany of crimes.

      In the end, he went 0/3 on those. His legacy is one of shirked responsibility.

        Isn’t “nothing will fundamentally change” what he said to the donors at a private event? Mission accomplished I guess…

          No idea, I don’t really give a fuck about a small quote without context said behind closed doors. I care about what issues were facing the nation, and what was done to solve them.

          You’re joking right? We literally have a felon in the Whitehouse…shit tons of these assholes broke the law and then the turnip got into power and has pardoned them. Biden drug his feet and shit never got done. So they end up getting pardoned before any real consequences happened.

          And now you have an actual president saying they’re going to jail people based on political affiliation…

    Shut the fuck up, Biden. When the Supreme Court made a president a king, you had the chance to remove ALL of these traitors as an official presidential action and you still chose the high road.

    So just enjoy your dementia in peace.

    His presidency will be remembered not for what he did, which was mostly good, but for what he did not do. His legacy will be viewed similarly to Hoover’s. Both were principled men who, when faced with a serious problem, could not find it in themselves to deal with it.

      Dear god, Hoover was a monster and a criminal. He is known in particular for how unprincipled he was. From casually violating human rights at a national scale to targeting civil rights leaders, to blackmail and terrorism, he established the playbook that modern totalitarians like Trump continue to abuse today.

      Using Hoover and Biden in the same breath, let alone calling a monster like Hoover “principled” is beyond the pale.

      Edit: Ignore this rant. I was thinking J Edgar Hoover, notorious leader of the BOI/FBI, not former president Herbert Hoover who was absolutely a forgettable milquetoast president like Biden. Though Biden didn’t murder and tear-gas our own unemployed veterans, so he does have that going for him.

        I guess I should have been specific. J Edgar was certainly a monster, he ran the FBI like his own private army and multiple presidents just let him do it.

    The American people want a failed reality host who puts on a Plain Folks act while despising the people who worship him. They want an end to education, Social Security, Medicare, and our national public spaces. They want women, LGBTQ, and nonwhites to be second-class citizens. They want violence and torture, because it’s Strong.

    This is the new America. You’re not part of it, Joe.

      Democrats should have never pulled Biden out of retirement.

      The problem, the core problem, was never Biden.

      Democrat Party leadership said yes to Biden. That was the problem. That is still the problem. The problem did not go away.

      All the not-Republicans need to pick a leader now. Before one is chosen for you. Again. Clock’s ticking.

        Democrat Party leadership

        Not sure what the “Democrat Party” is other than a thing the qons use to annoy the left.

        All the not-Republicans need to pick a leader now. Before one is chosen for you. Again. Clock’s ticking.

        How I wish that would be a thing, but have you seen the kinds of issues that absolutely consume some on the left? I swear more would rather take a dump on what they call “shitlibs” and constantly police things like “microaggressions” and tell everyone that doesn’t check off enough Oppression Olympics boxes to “check their privilege” and lecture everyone about Gaza and “genocide” (how to tell everyone you just learned about Israel and Palestinians c. October 2023 without saying it) instead of band together to fight fascism. The narcissism of small differences is a plague among so many of the most vocal left.

    Biden’s been out of office six months and still r2o can’t move on.

    I wish he was still president or that the American people voted in Harris so that they and the world would be in a better place.

          Maybe so, but Biden had two opportunities.

          1. Get rid of Merrick Garland.

          2. Use the SCOTUS’s ruling of presidential immunity against Trump and them.

          He failed when it really mattered. Twice. No sympathy.

          It’s like saying, we played a great game against the 49ers but 1 minute left in the 4th quarter, we chose to do a field goal to tie the score instead of going for a Hail Mary and the kick missed.

            He also failed to step down when faced with compelling evidence that he would lose to Trump. If we had an honest primary, I don’t think we’d be in this mess. Instead, he held on to power up until the last minute and the Democratic constituency yet again got a candidate they didn’t want.

            As much as you might not want to hear it in the end Biden did the right thing because the average American decided they didn’t care about that.

              The 14 million being kicked off of Medicaid and the many being forcibly deported could give a flying fuck about the moral high ground.

                This isn’t about moral high ground this is about the majority of Americans deciding this is what they want their country to look like or not caring enough to vote.

                  If you’re going to speak in broad strokes about the majority, it’s important to get right that the majority of votes went against Trump. He only has the support of the largest single minority bloc of voters.

          Voter shaming. Voter blaming. Not the party who didn’t even hold a primary after Biden dropped out far too late. Not the party who said “nothing will fundamentally change” and ran on “but Trump”

            Yes I’m shaming the people who voted Trump in again knowing full well what he was doing and also the ones who helped convince people not to vote because of relentless anti-DNC propaganda.

    There was nothing he could have done. It’s a mistake thinking the US changed so dramatically almost overnight in the past few months. In reality, the cracks in the dam have been growing slowly over the decades. There just comes a point where you can’t paper them over anymore.

    All the suggestions here about moves Biden could have made to the Supreme Court or with other laws are forgetting about January 6th. There’s a huge number of people who voted for and actually want what is happening right now. Blocking them or delaying them is only delaying the inevitable. Politics is war by other means.
