That’s a crazy thing for him to say. The election isn’t just his own little personal competition.
You didn’t watch his interview?
Watch it, he’s completely out of touch with reality and only cares about himself.
Not even “both sides” bullshit. trump would still cause more damage, but Biden is in no way capable of being president.

It’s 20 some minutes, just American up and watch it.
There’s not much time left to get the DNC to boot him, he’s not leaving on his own.
We’re so fucked. Biden is so fucking selfish and out of fucking touch that he literally going let Trump win.
If he doesn’t get his head out of his ass and Trump wins I hope he pays the consequences him and rest of his family. Because he literally will be handing America over to a fucking shit head fascist fucking all of our families.
I’ve been saying this for months now that they need to replace Biden. People here just called me a Trumper for criticizing Biden. And now…
Wow an old fart falling on the spear of hubris where have I seen that before, oh yeah, RBG.
Literally every old person with a modicum of power or importance acts like this
Why did Nancy Pelosi run again (she’s currently 84)? Why did Chuck Grassley run for a term ending in 2028 (he’s currently 90)?
I’m 30 years old, and can’t wait to retire. Why won’t these dinosaurs take their millions and fuck off? They’re literally from the generation before the boomers, wtf
Their “work” and your work are not equivalent.
Their work is more similar to being on a home owner association and attending a few meetings here and there.
I refuse to watch it. I’ve checked out at this point. He won’t drop out, and he is 100% going to lose the election. I’ve seen this show before. Spending an hour watching the same fucking story with a different actor is a waste of time. I knew Hillary was going to lose in 2016, and I know Biden is going to lose in 2024. My state is deep blue, so there is no reason I can find to even bring myself to care about this freakshow anymore.
He might have just had a health emergency, so…
So I guess it’s not a big deal if Trump wins? It’s not an apocalypse if he wins? This is like advising to make your own coffee while the banks get bailed out. When it comes to people voting, people should vote for Biden even if he can’t string a coherent sentence because Trump is the absolute biggest threat to democracy, but when it comes to Biden stepping down, it’s okay if he loses to Trump as long as he gives his best.
This isn’t the mentality Democrats need right now.
This fucking party lmao
Right? I don’t think Biden is able to appreciate the gravitas of this election. Like physically unable.
I doubt he is able to do much of anything. It feels like watching Weekend at Bernie’s.
Eh it’s just the end of democracy and well being of Americans. As long as he gave it his all. /Shrug
This is absolutely a game to the wealthy. They win no matter what.
Well, as me and my family are torn apart and sent to re-education camps at least I’ll have the comfort of knowing Joe “gave it his all”.
No you fucking didn’t.
Giving it your all would preclude doing things that decrease the number of votes you’re going to get, such as ending the rent moratorium, refusing to pack the court to protect Roe (because that would make it political lmao), trying to close the border, and facilitating a genocide.
You wanna be able to say you gave it your all? Drone strike the SCOTUS and use every means at your disposal to keep the fascists out of power.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why he should not be the candidate. Not because he’s old or whatever. Because he does not understand that if he loses, we fucking lose democracy. Not a joke; not hyperbole. We get to have Russian-style “elections” for the foreseeable future.
He is so fucking wrapped up in his own ego and hubris that he is going to drive us straight into the fucking wall. He’s so far up his own ass about his ability to compromise that he can’t comprehend that fascist elements of the Republican Party (but I repeat myself) have no intention whatsoever of compromising or negotiating once they really get their hands on the reins of power again.
He is betraying his oath of office. He’s not meaningfully protecting and defending the constitution from threats foreign and domestic, and he hasn’t done so effectively for basically his entire term. As a historical parallel, it’s like a mashup of the US in 1859 and Germany in 1932. It’s baffling, infuriating, and horrifying, in equal measure. His head is demonstrably not in the game - and it seems he doesn’t even understand the game he’s playing (that’s not a “he’s old” quip - I’m talking about the fact that he continues to bring a deck of cards to the shitshow gunfight that is modern American politics and expects to get good results).
Yes. 100% this. Age is just a number. But we need Democrats that will fight for us, for god’s sake. Not just shrug at losing because they, personally, gave it their all. Fuuuuuuuck that noise.
Fuck me, he doesn’t even care about the real risk Trump poses, not only to the US, but to the world. I don’t care if he’s done a few good things in his time, Biden’s literally going to hand the presidency back to this felonious fucking psychopathic liar.
I swear in 2016 I got blipped into an alternative dimension where eventually everything will be consumed by the langoliers
Edit: The US invented MRNA vaccines, and we get the piece of shit from The Apprentice to hold our nuclear codes, handed the baton by a senile old man asleep at the wheel.
This isn’t going to end well. He needs to fuck off.
Joe Biden is on track to win. Anyone else LOSES.
Copium
Copium
Everything else aside, I really dislike it when I read a shitty, low-effort reply like this one.
Why bother using more words in response to shitty posts?
To show the rest of Lemmy you’re not an easy block?
Couldn’t give a fuck.
easy block
If he’s in the general, I’ll vote for Biden’s head in a jar if it comes to that, but this is starting to have some real Hillary 2016 vibes about it. There are a whole lot of dipshits out there that think they are more or less the same because they are both old white guys, which is just Peak Stupid, but there you have it.
I think someone else given the chance, like Gavin Newsom, would build a brand in time for the fall. They’d have to much free press as a consequence of being chosen and if we get someone that is a real GD fighter for Americans they’d do well, IMHO.
Might be more accurate with the image of Grandpa yelling at the sky for Trump.
Yes, perfect!
although during the sleep, i started to think whether this might be more appropriate
Holy mackerel, you’re right! THIS is better!
Not my meme, but you’re right!
We’re all going to die because another Boomer won’t retire.
Spoken like a person who will not have to live long under the consequences of that hubris, and whose family wealth will insulate their offspring.
I’m gonna vote for you, Biden, but your personal “peace” is a shitty umbrella the rest of us don’t get to live under.
Rich people unable to view things outside of the narrow lens of their own self-actualisation.
That’s self-interest, not self-actualization. Part of self-actualizing is realizing you aren’t the center of the universe.
I wonder if he’ll feel that way when he’s put on trial on live television and sentenced to death. Or, if that doesn’t happen, if he’ll feel that way when millions of minorities are killed by trumps brown shirt equivalents or sent to camps to die. Course, he’ll probably be dead by the time everything comes to fruition even if he doesn’t get sentenced to death cause he’s so old.
Yeah but we won’t be.
Goddammit. Way to really inspire confidence and the need to make the future better.
Remember when they said Joe Biden was too old in 2020? He has a really impressive 3 1/2 year track record compared to the absolute train wreck he followed and both Democrats AND Republicans actually prefer his policies. The orange rapist/felon sucked big time.
