  2. We as Democrats are being forced fed the Trump narrative of don’t believe the polls and the media is rigged against me. Trump lost in 2020 because those things were wrong. In 2024 Biden will lose because of the same things.

  3. Biden, speaking to supporters from a middle school gymnasium in Madison, Wisconsin, said: “I’m the nominee of the Democratic Party,” adding that “millions of Democrats just like you just voted for me in primaries all across America.”

    “You voted for me to be your nominee. No one else. The voters did that,” Biden said. “And despite that, some folks don’t seem to care who you voted for. Well, guess what? They’re trying to push me out of the race.

    “Well, let me say this as clearly as I can,” he added. “I’m staying in the race. I’ll beat Donald Trump.”

  4. That interview was so unbelievably condescending, out of touch, and will not help him.

    Horrible. Also the answer where he was like “well as long as I try my best that’s all that counts”

    No, Joe. We might lose the very essence of America. You get zero points for effort.

  6. I thought replacing him was a bad idea but now im thinking it was the better option. Motherfucker is trying to look competent while potentially fucking several generations lives up

  8. He’s delusional.  The party is going to sink if Biden thinks giving his all is the right answer.  Only the almighty can change his mind.  That’s scary.  

     His judgement is ridiculous and we got a preview of what the party is up against.  Not good as you’ll watch the next phase of this, which is to get nasty

  9. I didn’t an interview could make things even worse…but here we are. It just took all of the issues from his debate and magnified them on a more intimate level. This is how he actually thinks when sitting down and comfortable as well. OMG.

  10. Biden is Mr. Burns after spiting out the three-eyed fish and now he’s trashing the Simpsons household.

  11. I’m so glad Joe gets to protect his ego for four months before it’s nuked from orbit from losing to Trump. It’ll cost us decades of a conservative Supreme Court and god knows what else but those four months of coddling him are worth it.

  12. I have an idea. I don’t know what would be the right platform.

    How about we all pledge small donations if Biden steps out of the race? Make it official, you put in your credit card and the moment the non-Biden candidate has been nominated the money gets charged.

    Something tells me money is what will decide this. It seems to decide almost everything.

  13. “Are they booing me right now?”
      
    “No they’re saying Boooo-den, sir”
      
    Same energy fr

  14. Weird I don’t remember him debating any of his primary opponents?

    Didn’t they straight up cancel the primaries in multiple states?

  16. At this point I’m not voting for a President, I’m voting for the guy that’s going to pick potentially 1-2, maybe even 3 SCOTUS justices.

  17. I think the best shot for democrats at this point is if he dies by natural causes before Monday.

  18. I’m voting blue no matter what, but he makes me hate myself for doing it

  19. I’ll vote for whomever isn’t Trump or a MAGAt, but I’ll be holding my nose like I smelled an 82 year old fart with a hint of camphor

  21. It’s hard and boring to follow him talking. There’s no life to his voice. No real excitement. All I see is an old man trying and failing not to look old.

  22. I am in the camp that does not believe Biden deserves the presidency.

    However, this is *so* not about him and what he deserves at this point. The events of the last few days should have made clear how much danger we’re in, and we have to do anything we can to protect ourselves even if it’s voting for this motherfucker since it seems to be coming to that.

  23. This is no longer just about “Defeating Trump”. This is about having someone in office who can dismantle the apparatus built up to capitalize on Trump’s victory. The fact that people have not been arrested and dramatic action taken about the Supreme Court is proof enough that Biden cannot meet this moment. It’s not enough to defeat Trump at the polls. Some of these psychopaths are explicitly saying “the revolution will be bloodless if the left allows it”. We need someone who will draw first blood, not someone who anemically dithers, “I dissent”.
