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.
Tell that to Trump. I dont think the old rules of incumbency apply.
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.
This is the year we slip into fascism.
Biden’s greatest talking point is that he is not Trump.
It’s sad, and it doesn’t make me happy…. But Biden is going to lose.

@Lifecoach5000 Ok, I will remind you on Friday Nov 8, 2024 at 1:46 PM PST.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
CHARLESTON, S.C. — Amid declining support from Black voters, President Joe Biden heads Monday to Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church, the site of a horrific hate crime in which a white supremacist massacred nine worshippers in 2015 — what his campaign sees as a high-stakes address as he kicks off the election year.
According to his campaign, Biden will warn that MAGA Republicans, led by Donald Trump, are running on a dangerous agenda that is the polar opposite of American principles and will reiterate the stakes of the 2024 election when it comes to democracy and personal freedoms.
The address at the historic church, known as “Mother Emanuel,” comes just days after Biden kicked off the campaign year near Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, criticizing Trump for his actions during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.
The speech in Charleston will continue to drive that argument, an adviser said, drawing a line between the past and the present with Biden’s choice of the historic venue and linking the church’s history to what he sees as a struggle for the soul of the nation.
Other voters questioned why the Biden administration was so intent on spending billions of dollars overseas in Israel and Ukraine while putting less emphasis on what they see as more pressing domestic priorities.
Biden’s campaign has downplayed any waning of support among Black voters and insists Monday’s trip to South Carolina and Vice President Kamala Harris’ visit to Myrtle Beach on Saturday are not only about courting that key constituency.
