But if you prefer the Biden was saying he was running but what he was really saying was he wasn’t running angle, cool.  At the end of day, it seems quite clear he was forced to tap out, and there typically is a reason for that sort of thing.  Sometimes a velvet glove is used, other times the hammer comes down.

 

Hammers are reserved for the Pelosi  Thursday night 2AM naked hammer fight club.

So we all know that the parties have shifted ever since the GOP decided it couldn’t win any more and shifted to the ‘southern strategy’ and that the Democratic Party passed the civil rights amendment and voting rights etc. in the last 60 years. 
 

if you were really there party of Lincoln any longer you would be appalled by the felon and the gop. 

Hoax…The Democrats still judge people on the color of their skin like they always have…

 

They’ve just rebranded their white supremacy to be more palatable…You’re only privileged if you’re white? I’m sure the white supremacists would agree wholeheartedly…👍

 

Black people are too ignorant to know how to use the internet, or too dumb to know how to get an ID? The KKK is applauding as we speak…👍

 

Dems have always thought blacks were an inferior race that needed to be infantilized…That’s why they are treated like they are by your party…

Gotta love the idea that people believe that the Dems are so nefarious, cunning, and competent that they control the traditionally conservative FBI (that's only ever been headed by Republicans), the state courts of New York, Georgia, Arizona, and Michigan, the bar associations of several states and DC, several Republican state officials, the election systems of dozens of counties, and whatever the hell else, but also can't stop shooting themselves in the dick, couldn't bring any of the big cases to finality before the election, and couldn't convince the oldest ever president who was unpopular with the voters not to run for re-election until it was almost too late.

 

Of course, that's just ridiculous lunacy, but the alternative is admitting that Dear Leader Donnie is a criminal and a loser; and the cognitive dissonance of wrapping their brains around that might cause them an aneurysm.

Welp. she was the one so unpopular she didn't even get "outlier" votes in the DNC primary where she wasn't chosen.

Someone who wasn't in the race didn't get votes? How crazy!

Looks like Quack made it to Chicago.

Yeah, sorry if things are confusing for you, but that’s more of a you thing. 
 

Biden was convinced that continuing to run would be devastating for the party, so he stepped down. 
 

Had he not been convinced, he’d still be running because there is nothing anyone can do to forcibly remove him against his will. 

I appreciate your expression of sympathy, compassion is sadly lacking in the world today. 

 

We agree that in spite of his repeated declarations that he was running, he was convinced to stand down.

The only way people are going to buy the "patching of the torch" is if Joe never seeked re-election in the first place.  It just rings hollow imo.

Obviously,  board members here have a tendency to disagree on just about everything. 

 

JB decision to discontinue his run as some sort of noble gesture for party flies in direct contrast to his actions, his words, and his declaration of his intentions.   He quite literally spent hours preparing for a nationally televised debate to showcase his grit and competence, shook apart at the seams and suggested he had a cold...bad prep...he was traveling too much..and he was just tired.   He declared after the debate that he was staying in the race and would beat DJT, I guess having recovered from the flu-that he picked up in on an international flight-and impacted debate prep and which subsequently left him exhausted and caused him to confuse medicare with the Japanese in 45.

My understanding is that he wanted an earlier debate as a way to demonstrate that he was up to the task and boost his campaign. He utterly failed at that to an astounding level. The reaction from many on the left was that he needed to drop out. Polling showed he was unpopular and that Dem voters thought he was too old *before* the debate and the performance would only exacerbate that issue.

 

Many wanted him and the campaign to immediately kick into high gear and demonstrate that this was a one-off. Instead, he huddled with his advisors, barely making any appearances for a week. The polls began to worsen and more people began to speak out that he needed to drop out. Basically every report was that elected Dems were quietly saying he needed to go even when publicly supporting him.

 

But until he was sure he was dropping out, he had to act as if he was 100% staying in. Showing that he was wavering and then deciding to stay in would ensure his campaign's defeat. He was going to be all in until the moment he wasn't, without much time in a gray area in-between.  He's wanted the presidency his entire career and finally achieved it. I'm sure it took a lot to convince him that there was no path forward and he was hurting the party, but there was plenty of polling that demonstrated that.

 

It wasn't a coup. It wasn't Nancy Pelosi threatening the 25th amendment (which she has no ability to do anyway). It was just convincing an old stubborn man that it was time to go.

In the end, Joe Biden went out as the authentic Joe Biden -- an angry, lying demagogue. 

 

 

 

Democrats bury an angry, shouting Joe Biden at 11:30 p.m. in final disgrace

By Dan McLaughlin

 

The Joe Biden show is officially in reruns. Biden even got bumped out of prime time. His speech started at 11:28 p.m., in the hour when old sitcoms run in syndication.

 

That wasn’t an accident. The first night of the Democratic convention was losers night, featuring Biden and Hillary Clinton along with duds like Kathy Hochul and zealots like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

 

Democrats lined up an endless list of speakers ahead of Biden to push his speech back as far as they could, so as few people as possible would hear it.

 

The speech itself was written as a celebration of Biden’s accomplishments — some real, many imagined — as president. The actual nominee was an afterthought. Biden spoke of Kamala Harris only as someone who helped him — not for anything she ever did on her own.

 

If the Harris campaign had any hopes that Joe would let them get distance from his record, they were dashed. “When I say we, I mean Kamala and me,” he emphasized, reminding voters that there’s no turning the page by voting for Harris.

 

Biden tried to play the old hits, but they ring hollow now. He talked about Charlottesville and how he claims Trump as president “emboldened” and praised antisemites. “Hate has no safe harbor” in America, he says. But we saw how antisemites have safe harbors — literal encampments on college campuses, immune from the law — in Joe Biden’s America. Biden even said of the pro-Hamas protesters, “Those protesters out in the street. They’ve got a point.”

 

 

No, they don’t, Joe.
