No. Thanks for your service blah blah blah, but his generation of limp dick, self serving moldy dinner rolls are what got us here in the first place. Take Chuck and Hakeem with you

[-] Vari@lemm.ee 6 points 1 week ago

Is Biden compromised or something? He doesn’t seem to realize that his name is fucking poison to dems and reps alike. Why is he so intent on fucking us over more? You destroyed us. Fuck off.

[-] MisterOwl@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Fuck off, Joe. You've done enough damage. Go away.

[-] Dragod@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

The only way he could help is if he invented a time machine and went back in time to convince himself to announce he isn't going to pursue a second term in 2022. Or immediately stop supplying Israel with bombs after it became clear they weren't going to stop. Or better yet, go back to 2020 and don't screw Bernie out of winning the nomination. Selfish prick.

[-] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Oh Fuck Off you doddering old fool that gave us Trump.

[-] UpperBroccoli@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 week ago

You people really need to go and build a third party, one that actually is everything the republicans accuse the democrats of being.

[-] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago

This is all your fault. Go to the nursing home and stay there.

[-] TomMasz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

No. Please enjoy your retirement.

[-] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

The Bidens need to stay the fuck out. For good. You killed your own political dynasty, dipshit. Stay down.

Edit: Jesus fuck, what a complete tool:

Former President Joe Biden has told some Democratic leaders he’ll raise funds, campaign and do anything else necessary for Democrats to recover lost ground

Really? You’ll do anything to recover the ground YOU lost? Except keep your promise to not campaign for another term? Or listen to constituents instead of consultants? Or do anything meaningful to preemptively stop fascism? Or bow out of the presidential campaign when it becomes painfully obvious that you have neither the temperament or mental acuity for the situation at hand? Or relinquish control of a presidential campaign that isn’t yours anymore? Or-

You get the idea.

Stay down, Biden. Your “help” looks a whole fucking lot like leading lambs to the slaughter. Nobody wants you or your help.

[-] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

Yes I heard he was Satan, and that's the sole reason people voted for rampant fascism by a kleptocrat. All his fault.

[-] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Man he was such a good president, he did such great things that are helpful to the average american, like:

... ... ... ...

Well he's not Trump so that's good enough for all the deaths from COVID, social murder, Mexican cages, Gaza, the trans healthcare crisis, abortion being made illegal, not arresting Trump so he's back in office...

Trump is so awful the bar is in hell, walking on the bottom of the ocean floor is better but not great.

[-] _core@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

He actually did do a bunch of good things. The reason you can't name them is b/c Ds never talked about it. Probably some dumb reason like "results will speak for themselves"

[-] EmpireInDecay@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

He's likely not even aware that he was president.

[-] mysticpickle@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago
[-] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 week ago

No. If you want to be useful, convince some other dinosaur Dems to retire.

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah, no. Your career ended during the debate.

I’d argue his career ended when he decided that genocide was wonderful

[-] EmpireInDecay@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

There is no genocide

The entire DNC

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago
[-] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 2 points 1 week ago

His Super predators speech in 1994. I don't much before that.

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

It physically hurts me to think about the number of times here, on this platform, people tried to gaslight us on this.

First it never happened.

Then, when we showed them the interview where he said it, we were told it was just "misconstruing" what Biden said.

Then, it wasn't a campaign promise.

Then, when in 2024 when Biden confirmed it was a campaign promise, it didn't matter, because "beating Trump" was too important; but if "beating Trump" was so important, then why were they insisting on sticking with Biden?

I just. Sometimes I can't even.

[-] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 1 week ago

That didn't happen. And if it did, it wasn't that bad. And if it was, that's not a big deal. And if it is, that's not my fault. And if it was, I didn't mean it. And if I did, you deserved it.

The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. His heart sank as he thought of the enormous power arrayed against him, the ease with which any Party intellectual would overthrow him in debate, the subtle arguments which he would not be able to understand, much less answer. And yet he was in the right! They were wrong and he was right.

It sucks that the Democrats are the Republican party of 2012.

[-] EmpireInDecay@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

And Democrats will soon be the Republican Party of 2016.

[-] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago

Already are in a lot of aspects.

[-] frozenpopsicle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago

Holy shit! He's still alive?

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Feinstein kept going years after her death.

[-] octopus_ink@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

ITT thread - lots of folks downvoting the folks rightly condemning Biden, but strangely no one showing up to debate them. 🤔

[-] Yawweee877h444@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

What I would give for some actual leftists who are tough.

We need a younger bernie who is more aggressive. Shut the fuck up about woke and LGBT stuff. Speak only about how billionaires and corporations and wall street are exploiting the poor and working class.

Tax the billionaires. Support the Working class. Accountability for the rich. No more of this laws are only for the poor nonsense.

Free Healthcare. Free college/university. Free meals for kids in schools. Fund our fucking public schools. Make the rich pay for it or they can get the fuck out.

[-] meyotch@slrpnk.net 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Your opinion is garbage. Support for LGBTQ+ rights didn’t alienate anyone who wasn’t already a garbage person.

[-] Yawweee877h444@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

Not garbage, and not opinion. Objective fact.

It's people like you why bigots are winning and trump got elected.

Because of you, you're extraordinary stupidity, we are sliding into fascism. If you don't pull your head out of your ass, we're doomed.

[-] meyotch@slrpnk.net 0 points 1 week ago

People who want to live their lives and be left alone lost the election? Oh this is going to be good.

The floor is yours.

Present your objective fact.

[-] Yawweee877h444@lemmy.world -1 points 1 week ago

LGBT, woke, and immigrant issues are amplified by those in power to get more votes on the right, and distract from the most important issues: oligarchy and wealthy elites who are exploiting the poor and working class.

This doesn't mean these issues aren't important, they are. They're just used to distract from what's more important, and energize bigots who end up supporting the right.

Objective fact.
