  1. We are cooked.

    Our democracy is on the line and this man is untethered from reality. He doesn’t believe he’s behind in the polls, and thinks everything will be fine if he just gives it his all.

  2. Awful answer. You can’t run on Trump being a threat to democracy and then say “well if I lose at least I tried.”

  5. I absolutely cannot believe that the last, best hope for American democracy is for her most effective modern president to have a sudden heart attack. Jesus Christ.

  6. Political consultants just losing their minds on social media after hearing this response.

    Unfortunately for millions of Americans, and people all over the world really, the stakes are a bit higher than what this response conveys.

  7. “As long as I gave it my all, it’s okay if Rome burns!”

  9. This is a horrible answer.

    Stakes are too high for these pablum answers and not really addressing the people’s concerns 

  10. I feel like this is the scene in the horror movie where the whole audience is saying “get out” but the asshole keeps roaming around the house.

  11. The worst answer he could have given.

    Democracy at stake?

    LGBT and women’s rights shredded?

    Emperor Trump ordering the troops to round up dissidents and conduct show trials?

    Eh, who cares. I gave it a shot, that’s all I could do.

  12. He’s right, he’s 81, why should he care about the future of the country

  13. Selfish old man. Can’t see this isn’t about him, it’s about the 300 million + people who have to deal with the consequences of his hubris.

  14. This isn’t the answer you want to hear if you are a swing state democrat with an election. Even more so now that more states are up for grabs with the latest polling.

    Biden can ride off into the sunset and spend his last year in peace, the dem politicians who lose are fighting for their careers. I’d imagine they will pressure leadership even more. If nothing happens, they will break ranks and go public.

  15. I went into this interview feeling bad for him and feeling guilty that I wanted him to do poorly so he’d finally be gone… now I just want him gone. What a terrible answer.

  16. Heidi Heitkamp is currently ripping him apart for this answer on ABC. I don’t think this interview will go over well and help him with Congressional Dems

  17. This is a disqualifying answer under the present circumstances.

    The hubris, the self-centeredness, the absolute willful blindness to the impending catastrophe of a Trump presidency…

    This answer alone should disqualify Biden because he clearly lacks the necessary perspective on the importance of this election and the need to pull out every stop to save democracy

  18. Dude’s really gonna blow it for us all and then blissfully check out of life lmaoo

  19. That answer/this interview was so bad I can’t help it was a deliberate setup by Democrats to paint Biden so poorly that now senior Dems will call for him to withdraw

  20. “It’s too bad about our country, but at least we know Uncle Joe gave it 110%!”

  21. He’s in the bargaining stage heading towards the acceptance stage. I think he’s going to dropout soon

  23. Joe, your “all”, your best effort, is to step aside and let the delegates pick a winning ticket.

  24. If this interview made one thing clear, it’s this:

    Biden is being kept away from criticism by sycophants, including and especially his own family. The absolute arrogance he showed is truly astonishing. To deny poll data is straight out of the other orange’s playbook. He might personally be fine if he loses, but his hubris will push our nation away from democracy and towards fascism. If we want to win in November, something NEEDS to be done. I won’t pretend to know the logistics of getting a new candidate, but it’s clear we’re on a path to losing with how things are going.

  25. What the fuck.

    No shit he’s at peace with it. He won’t be alive to see the ramifications

  26. >I hope, Senator, after you’ve lost, and the Empire reigns over the galaxy unopposed, you will find some comfort in the knowledge that you fought according to the rules.
