Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor.

People in here eating up propaganda like it's ice cream.
Apparently I'm the only one that remembers Biden loudly declaring "I'm not going anywhere!" right after he completely choked in that debate.
He was forced out. I really wish people would stop acting like he's some kind of a hero. People would still be trying to convince us that he's not too old if the DNC hadn't straight up forced him out.
A whole lot of short memories for politics.
He originally said he'd be a one term president. He only changed that stance when he believed staying in the race was necessary to beat Trump. Once it was clear that he wasn't the best candidate to defeat Trump, he stepped aside and immediately and publicly backed Kamala. How hard is this to understand? Not hard at all, which is why I think you're full of shit.
If you think that that old ass man that kept falling down, making up fair stories, and usually didn't know where he was was actually making these decisions then you are absolutely dreaming.
Dude was so obviously a puppet. I promise you that he didn't make this decision.
You promise me? Oh well then, guess I better trust you. Nobody is this dumb dude...
Excellent answer.
Whether it was planned or just fell out this way, this is probably the best outcome we could hope for. Trump and Putin and their assortment of flying monkeys were lining up the 'he's just OLD' attacks, hoping to ride that into the White House in January. Then Biden withdrew and now the 'he's just OLD' points right back at Trump.
Shitheads like abracaDavid above keep harping on Biden's age when Biden's not even in the race again really makes me question how much the attacks against Biden were astroturfed by Trump and Putin (but I repeat myself).
It's getting so bad for Trump that he's out there fanning conspiracy theories during his monthly rally (singular) that Biden is going to put himself back on the ballot at the DNC. This all just sounds like a bunch of wishful thinking from a loser who wishes he were still competing against another old guy. Trump can't even keep up with Harris and Walz, which is why he has Peter Thiel's blood boy out there doing most of the campaigning. Sad and weird.
Chef's kiss on this.
