    He should have won. He’s smarter, more well spoken, has a better moral compass, a better track record on legislation, better health, better administration.

    The comments here show pure distain for Biden and I don’t understand why. He was better in every single regard and yet the people who claim to support that constantly spit on him at every opportunity. People who act like that way helped trump to victory. You would never see a republican act that way towards trump.

      This section is so insane. Its shows how well republicans are able to completely rewrite history through propaganda. Biden stuttered a few times in a 1hr+ debate and answered every question intelligently but he fucked up his words on one question. Trump couldnt answer a single question and proved he had no idea what a tariff was or how tax works. But Trump got a single favourable soundbite so I guess he dominated???

      After his disastrous performance in his single debate against Trump, during which the president struggled to form coherent answers to questions and seemed utterly lost in the setting, public confidence in his ability to pull off an electoral victory imploded.

      You can’t keep letting the right get away with narrative shifting like this. Even if Trump had done nothing the right would be online posting that he had the greatest performance of all time. Support your damn candidate if you want to win.

            He gave a rambling trumpian answer and ended it with nonsense. And just like all of Trump’s cult, you’re making excuses for obvious cognitive decline.

            He’s not running anymore. You don’t have to carry water for him,

            Do you have a single example of a question trump answered better than biden?

            Trump shat the bed too. The difference is that Trump has a cult and Biden has a few scattered diehard centrists. Trump wasn’t going to lose any votes that night. Biden did. You don’t have the same base. Democrats respond differently than Republicans do.

              You do realize that there are people who can be swayed and when they go online and see the right saying they won’t and the left saying it’s over they will immediately go to the right.

              Trump is successful because his base supports him and acts like he won no matter how stupid he sounded.

              People on the left could easily find stuff to support and get excited about and hold their criticism for after the election.

              The fact that you think a bad Biden answer is equivalent to a normal Trump answer should be enough reason to shit on Trump and support Biden(vocally). Its over now but in retrospective.

                And you envy that. You want Democrats to be as stupid as Republicans.

                  Saying good things about the candidate you support leading up to an eletection is being smart. Its stupid to say bad things about a candidate you support leading up to an election.

    I’ll never get over how people gave me shit for thinking dropping out of the race 4 months before the election to push for kamala was the dumbest fuckin thing any of them could’ve done.

    Now we are where we are.

    Where are all you jackasses now?

      Biden was polling worse than Kamala, so yes you still deserve shit. Biden had no chance in hell of winning. The dumb thing was running Biden at all in the first place and then switching to someone who wouldn’t denounce the crisis in Palestine.

        and then switching to someone who wouldn’t denounce the crisis in Palestine.

        Why do people here think they deserve to be catered to?

        I support Palestine and I’m completely against Israel’s genocide.

        However, I’m not delusional. I understand the (voting) demographics in the US. And given the track record of progressive voters and parties (that is: completely uninvolved at every level, and crawling out of a hole every 4 years to be a spoiler candidate, only to vanish for another 4 years, respectively), I have no expectation that one of the two major parties in our bullshit two party system, is going to cater to or pander to my pet issues. No matter how important they may be. Why the fuck would they? We’re not even a real voting bloc.

        Leftists seem to think that they’re just entitled to representation without doing a single fucking thing to create it. Instead they just whine about other people on the left (yes, including Democrats).
