Joe Biden regrets having pulled out of this year’s presidential race and believes he would have defeated Donald Trump in last month’s election – despite negative poll indications, White House sources have said.
The US president has reportedly also said he made a mistake in choosing Merrick Garland as attorney general – reflecting that Garland, a former US appeals court judge, was slow to prosecute Donald Trump for his role in the 6 January 2021 insurrection while presiding over a justice department that aggressively prosecuted Biden’s son Hunter.
Harris’s ascent to the top of the ticket led to a surge of enthusiasm and improved poll numbers but ultimately ended in a decisive electoral college and popular vote defeat.
the only way biden could ever dream to defeat trump is with some extrajudicial violence. and that is very obviously never happening.
Who is the only person who beat Trump?
Edit: Says a lot about a person who downvotes a question because they don’t like the obvious answer.
President Trump, of course. Americans are fed up with incumbents.
Wrong. Try again. I’ll help. Obama served two terms. Then Hillary didn’t beat Trump. Then Biden beat Trump. Then Harris lost to Trump. Just say’in
Hilary lost same as Harris because Obama ended up doing nothing to help the citizens and here we are now
Age caught up with Biden.
He did a massive amount of good for all the disaffected angry voters out there, far more good than any president of the last 40 years. Inflation was bad, but not as bad as elsewhere, and we didn’t go into a recession when everyone predicted we would. His programs were most targeted at the working class, whose wages rose more than under any other recent President. All the lip service pols give about helping the middle class, none of them have done it except ol’ Joe. Most other Dem pols have a strong neo-liberal streak, but Biden is an old-school union Dem.
So many GOP pols taking credit in their districts for programs funded by Biden policies, but which they voted against. So many angry voters who are so much better off because of Biden policies voted for the guy that’s going to rip it all up. Truth doesn’t matter, propaganda wins, “throw the bums out, I’m cranky” is as far as most voters get in their thinking, and it’s going to destroy the country.
when did age catch up with Biden?
he was supporting segregation policies way back when and has always supported nonprogressive policies and based his thinking on Catholicism
wtf did he do that deserves any kind of praise?
being vice to Obama and having Harris as a vice and supporting outdated nonmodern religious right leaning policies does not make him a savior to anyone
wtf did he do that deserves any kind of praise?
Inflation reduction act, chips, a pretty decent student loan forgiveness program (best he could do with SCOTUS), pardoning federal marijuana convictions come to mind…
food/housing costs/insurance rates/taxes are still astronomically high but hey sure that Biden and the billionaires that own our government got reduced inflation
yes he helped someone open up a chip factory
barely anyone got student loan forgiveness
he did nothing for cannabis convictions or the movement since he started being a politician over half a century ago and instead helped incarcerate a shit ton of people but then again, he would have had less people voting for him if he had not helped lock up so many people
fuck Biden for helping to sell our potential to the highest bidder
food/housing costs/insurance rates/taxes are still astronomically high but hey sure that Biden and the billionaires that own our government got reduced inflation
Neither Biden nor any other US president has control over the costs of food, housing, or insurance rates. Not sure what specific taxes you’re complaining about.
Also, you might want to check out what happens when you spend a year and a half pumping out $600 checks every week to unemployed people across the country to entice them to stay home, causing labor costs to skyrocket. Or did you not notice traditionally minimum-wage employers like fast food joints and supermarkets start offering $19/hr+ just to get people in the door. What did you think was going to happen to labor costs? Did you think corporations were just going to absorb those costs at the cost of their own profits? LOLOLOLOLOLOL. What about the people who were making $19 before the pandemic and saw the equivalent of Walmart greeters suddenly getting paid the same amount? You don’t think they demanded raises too? The ripple effects of those checks absolutely caused labor costs to permanently skyrocket up and down the food chain, and of course those costs are going to be passed onto the consumer in the form of higher prices.
And do you know what happens when you just magically print money out of nowhere (the entire costs of those unemployment checks were simply tacked on to the national debt.)? Huge spikes in inflation. This is pretty much economics 101.
And everything else can pretty much be chalked up to greedflation. Supplies increased by (made up number for explanatory purposes) 10% so of course they shot their prices up by 15% and just blamed supply chain issues.
Who started sending those $600 checks out? Oh, that was Trump. Because “throw money at it” is his answer to everything.
yes he helped someone open up a chip factory
Actually, there’s about a dozen of them being built across the country. Might wanna take a look at all the jobs created by the Inflation Reduction Act.
barely anyone got student loan forgiveness
And that’s thanks to SCOTUS gutting 90% of his plans.
he did nothing for cannabis convictions
Except for the two proclamations announcing pardons for federal cannabis convictions.
or the movement since he started being a politician over half a century ago and instead helped incarcerate a shit ton of people but then again, he would have had less people voting for him if he had not helped lock up so many people
Exactly what “shit ton of people” did he incarcerate?
fuck Biden for helping to sell our potential to the highest bidder
That bidder was Trump, and fuck you for helping him return to power.
pushing and advocating for living wages that all states have to follow would help and the DNC quit advocating on this
not every business Walmart and Mcdonald’s included are paying $19 an hour everywhere and in the south people are still making less than $15 an hour even with construction jobs pay is abominably low
not all those jobs will include living wages with worker rights included
Democrats always have a scapegoat
again that amounts to nothing especially considering how much damage him and the Democrats have caused and continue to do so
Biden helped craft laws that put a lot people in jail that either should not have been or should not have been as long of a sentence which to me amounts to rigging the election by keeping people jailed
Trump is just another puppet like Biden is
Sad to see his brain health not improving without the stress of election season.
