    All he had to do was follow through on just one campaign promise - be a 1 term President. Poll after poll shows that any generic dem would trounce Trump. Biden is literally the only candidate who can lose in ‘24.

    Biden’s ego telling him “real” presidents do 2 terms, and likely to a lesser extent the ease with which corporations can influence his policy, are preventing him from following through on that promise. This will likely mean the end of American democracy. Thanks Biden, pathetic neoliberal of epic proportions.

      Biden is literally not the only candidate that can lose in 2024. I get not liking him, but that’s a really silly take. Not running an incumbent against Trump would be an odd strategy when history suggests there’s a huge incumbent advantage.

          More specifically, when the incumbent is unpopular enough, that advantage goes away. Trump was unpopular enough and lost ‘20. He’s since had 4 years to retcon his shit and drum up more support.

          Biden is increasingly becoming unpopular enough, too

        Nobody in the history of the US has ever mounted a comeback from a deficit in polling the likes of which Biden faces, incumbent or non. Biden will not make political history by mounting this comeback with his bold strategy of “not orange man, orange man bad.” And the ongoing genocide in Gaza is disgusting!!!

        Perhaps you could scrounge up other candidates who could lose to Trump, but none of them so poorly and deservedly as Biden will. Absolute garbage candidate.
