Biden's our best bet, they said.
Everyone else polls worse, they said.
They were and remain full of shit.
I said Biden was our best bet and am happy to be proven wrong.
And now that you have the opportunity to vote for someone who can actually beat Trump, you're angry.
If you haven't noticed people on lemmy who were insisting that it had to be Biden because no one else could exceed his polling, you haven't been on lemmy for a while.
Check my comment history. I'm overjoyed that we have a better candidate now. Seems like the party is with me.
Of course, you're not. Try to avoid the urge to write in Bidenyahu.
The party listened to people like me who wanted Biden to step down. They ignored the calls to maintain an untenable status quo from people who swore there would be chaos immediately upon Biden quitting the race.
The results speak for themselves. There's genuine excitement behind Harris that wasn't there for Biden. There's hope again.
I said people like me. In case you missed it, people who wanted Biden to step down were abundant.
We were also right, as events have indicated.
I think, like I said, that the party listened to people who wanted Biden to step aside.
Are you going to start doing something other than attacking me for being right about Biden?
What happened after Biden stepped down indicates that I was right about him stepping down.
I'm glad he stepped down. You clearly aren't.
You can no longer pretend that my opposition to the Bidenyahu genocide is because I want Trump to win, because we have a better, less genocidey candidate now. A candidate you didn't want.
Who cares.
This. You can't forget what their plan was. They changed course somewhat, but Kamala is the never-Trump candidate. I expect her to do better than Biden, but they are still full of shit.
