Not news, just tabloid gossip that has zero effect on reality.

Biden believes a lot of shit, and he often says even dumber shit.

That's why we saw less of him the last four years than any other modern president.

So yeah, he probably 100% believes this, but that detachment from reality and more importantly from Dem voters is why he's wrong.

Let us just thank him for letting Harris try this time. If Biden had continued and lost to Trump, Harris would have 4 years to convince the DNC that it is "her turn".

And in this reality she lost to a convicted criminal - imagine if she was running against a competent opponent in 2028. We would have to wait until 2032 to get someone with a possibility of winning.

Eh, someone competent likely wouldn't have their own cult.

He would have been right if the American population still had two brain cells firing in the correct order. I don't think he realizes that we now live in a real idiocracy, because for a man his age, that's unthinkable.

I wonder if Biden has ever seen Idiocracy and what he thinks of it.

Since the majority of voters are racist and sexist. He might be right.

Maybe stop blaming voters for the dem’s shitty candidates

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Are you actually being serious right now? The Dems provided a candidate that is a non rapist, non insurrectionist, non traitor, and someone that could form words. Voters choose the rapist. I have every fucking right to blame the pieces of human shit that voted for a piece of human shit like Donald Trump.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

Ok, have fun blaming everyone except who’s fault it actually is.

I guess it makes you feel better to blame people who you can see, rather than get organized and actually do anything useful.

That's nice, Pap pap! Now put your napkin on your sweater, we're having your favorite for lunch. Applesauce and pills.

Old man yells at clouds, solidifies place as the most ineffective leader since Hindenburg and or Chamberlain.

Let’s get you back to bed grandpa.

Historically men have done better than women. So he's probably right.

[–] HeyJoe 4 points 1 month ago

Oh yeah, he still exists and is president...
