    Not a single person voting Democrat does so because they thought Biden was a great candidate.

    It appears nobody has learned anything from Hillary’s loss in 2016.

    Establishment ghouls are not popular Democrats. Conservatives will vote Republican anways, appeasing to the right is worthless.

    Only progressives get independents to vote blue.

      Tell me you’re unaware of his achievements as president without telling me…

        Propagandists are fully aware, and choose to ignore said achievements as it fucks up their narrative.

        I am aware Joe Biden is complicit in Genocide and performed like a senile geriatric on CNN.

        Tell me you don’t live in America without telling me.

      This is where you lost me. As if boomer Democrats are not a thing. But let’s keep on reading…

      Lost me again. I don’t know why people keep forgetting about 2020.

        It’s unlikely that they forgot about boomer Democrats. Many of us have parents or grandparents who qualify. I can’t think of a single person who told me how great of a candidate Biden was. I don’t remember anyone who was extremely excited by the policies he wanted to enact. Of course I can only talk about people that I met, my friends and family and community.

          Were it not for Israel, I’d be telling you about how great Biden has been domestically (except the boarder). His administration has by and large been very progressive with the policies it’s enacted. Biden’s abhorrent sucking up to Israel during an active genocide is the huge dark spot on his presidency.

          It is a bit dumb that “he’s too old” is what got him out.

            Hm, no. Neither of those arguments got him out.

            “I’ll tax the billionaires” got him out.

            Unless he did some 4D chess with the whole bowing out after the RNC.

              Nah, he turned deeply unpopular right after the debate with trump. He was hemorrhaging in the polls. His backers abandoned him because they feared trump winning. Several polls about biden dropping out had something like 75% of democrats wanting him to drop.

              Kamala has ran to the left of biden on a number of issues. If this were a “billionares fear taxes” situation she wouldn’t have been the replacement. There are some rumors that establishment dems didn’t want Kamala to be the pick because of her policies.

          You’re correct in your last sentence. In many communities, everyone thought that everyone was voting for Hillary Clinton in 2016.

        Biden won marginally because he was marginally better than Hillary and was the Obama guy.

        Bernie would have won by a landslide.

            It’s not wrong. Free healthcare is a hell of a selling point.

            Having healthcare (or saving $5,000 if you’re lucky enough already be paying for health insurance), every year would have gotten every single millennial and gen-z to the polls.

            Dems would have a 1-party state if they threw in housing too.
