Now that Biden doesn’t care about reelection, what kind of “Official acts” might he do?

The best kind

Now they have a new excuse of not doing anything important or interesting so they don’t “taint” Harris.

Just FYI so you don’t get ‘gotchaed’, Trump isn’t the oldest nominee ever. Neither was Biden. Record is still held by Peter Cooper from the reconstruction era who was 84 when nominated.

Nobody cares, Trump is so old and decripit it’s a miracle he can still walk.

The last thing anybody wants is Trump pulling it out and calling all the headlines lies. Surprised Biden never did actually

Furbag ,

Oh boy, I can’t wait for armchair pundits who were calling for Joe to step down to now turn around and start to nitpick Harris as if that wasn’t going to be the obvious successor.

I’m 100% behind Harris or anyone who gets the Dem nom. Trump must be stopped.

This is still a battle for America’s soul. Are we going to accept the first female president or the first convicted felon president? I sure hope the left turns out for this one, even if they aren’t super stoked about it, because we might never recover from another Trump disaster.

and this is exactly why Trumps exist

one party is actively tearing down society and the other is complacent and the voters eat it up

Name literally one thing democrats are complacent on and don’t actively want to reform.

… Are you serious about the women’s rights part? Republicans overturned Roe and they’ve lost every election with abortion rights on the ballot since.

You can look up the DeMoNcRaT cities that have started to send crisis response teams instead of cops for certain calls. brennancenter.org/…/state-policing-reforms-george…

It’s not just pundits, Nancy Pelosi wants Harris off the ticket. I already donated to her campaign and called my reps to let them know that’s a bad idea.

yeahiknow3 ,

Harris is an absolute disaster. I’ve no problem with her whatsoever personally, but she has no charm and zero leadership skill. I wish these things didn’t matter but they do.

Wrench ,

Yep. She gets my vote as a living, breathing person that seems healthy enough. I’m not excited to vote for her, and I’m really concerned about our chances with her, but she’s not Trump and automatically gets my vote assuming she gets the nomination.

cabron_offsets ,

I don’t prefer Harris, but am 100% fine with her. Any D 2024. Fuck the republican traitor filth.

Blackmist ,

She’s a very bland candidate, but at least she’s not 80 and fading.

Whether that’s enough to get people up off their arses and into voting booths, I don’t know.

You really need somebody that’s going to invigorate the centre and left, the way Trump excites the right. Dyed in the wool Dems don’t care who the candidate is, they’d have been happy with Biden’s corpse. The issue is there’s not a lot of time left for experimentation in finding one.

yeahiknow3 ,

There’s a shitload of time. We’ve been conditioned to think it takes 2 years to run a presidential campaign. Nonsense.

Hoomod ,

A female candidate can put Roe v Wade in the limelight the entire campaign, and that’s a really easy winning message (based on all the special elections since it was overturned)

Olhonestjim ,

I’m not super stoked about her, and I’ll crawl across 5 states filled with broken glass to get back home and vote for her.

ImpressiveEssay ,

Well guys… Have you seen Trump’s mental decline since he last ran?! How old is he now?

Surely nobody would be dumb enough to vote someone that old into office now… That is… What we have been saying? Right guys?

Blackmist ,

Yeah, but they don’t care. They don’t want a competent and coherent president. They want Trump, because he hates the same people they hate, and he’s not afraid to say so.

The teams don’t play by the same rules and never have.

LemmyLingo ,

I’m seriously looking forward to the HBO drama about the first election campaign, Jan 6th, the Biden presidency, and then the second campaign in twenty years. It’s gonna go so hard.

blahsay ,

Harris has less chance than Biden. Literally just grab a Labrador, put a blue tie on him and let him do the job - better chance getting elected than Harris.

yeahiknow3 ,

Idk why you’re being downvoted, this is undeniable. To be clear, I don’t mind her. But most people find her bland and irritating. She has no personality.

blazera ,
@blazera@lemmy.world avatar

I was not turning out for Joe. Even if its Harris im voting now. Id prefer it not be Harris, but a much younger president, starting a first term of hopefully 2, we’re definitely taking back some Court seats.

Cool_Name ,

Yep, I’ll pokemon go to the polls now. Harris would not be my first pick, but it would be dumb for me to demand that biden step down and still not vote when my demand is met.

Democrats have listened to their voters and they deserve to be rewarded for that.

GiddyGap ,

I would have turned out for Joe, no question. Any day. I’ll also turn out for Harris or any of the other Democratic frontrunners. The alternative is Trump.

AA5B ,

I respect the decision and it means he goes out on top. It must have been a difficult decision, but he was one of the better presidents (I see an historian pol ranking him 14th best) and I believe history will remember him even better. I wish Joe Biden all the best in retirement.

Now comes the hard part. How do we avoid him having to say “I told you so”? How do we avoid repeating the disaster of the worst ranked President in history?

SpaceCowboy ,

Yeah I think Joe Biden is basically the Clement Attlee of US Presidents.

Who’s Clement Attlee? Some random guy that defeated Winston Churchill in the election just after Germany was defeated in WWII. “A modest man that has a great deal to be modest about.” Such a nobody that his own party wanted to remove him immediately after he was elected.

If you want to see his photo you can enter “best prime minister in uk history” into your preferred search engine.

Let’s fucking do this. Let’s smash these fascist fuckwits.

Yessss

So this is it. We’re doomed if Project 2025 happens
