Bernie and AOC are the new direction. Biden wants back in to stop them. Fuck Biden!
Make no mistake:
This is not "help." This is the neoliberal fascist collaborator backlash against help.
two weeks ago i tried searching to figure out where the fuck Biden had gone. couldn't find a thing besides the talent agency he'd signed with

Fuck around and fuck off geezer
Oh my fuck.
get out
get the fuck out, Biden
You lost the whole show, you simple fuck. You handed the republic to the fascists. You did NOTHING to stop them. You shook his fucking hand and gave him tea. You couldn’t campaign to save your own fucking life, and your meddling played a major role in your successor failing (though Harris does not get a pass here either). If I never see your name - or the Clinton name, for that matter - ever again in my life, it’ll be too soon.
No, no. It’s worse. They did more than nothing. They specifically held back from prosecuting him because they wanted to run against trump. So Biden could attempt to stay in power by saying “oh it has to be me I’m the only one who’s beaten him.”
Do we have proof or is this conjecture that fits what we can observe?
It’s been a while and searching for old news including the words Biden and trump is basically impossible, but I do remember seeing a like DOJ memo or something to hold off on persecuting. While it did not say the reason I listed above, I can’t imagine much other reason to do so and it’s not like they’ll come out and admit it was for that reason.
Edit: and post I remember commenting on about it two months ago was deleted from politics…. so… can’t find it that way.
Thanks for the added context. If they did intentionally delay prosecution (plausible considering how much time they had to do it but didn’t) then that’s pretty hard to excuse regardless of the reason.
The hubris is just absolutely infuriating
It's not hubris though. They know what they are doing and they don't care because they won't be the ones hurt by it. They would legitimately rather Trump be president than win by having to adopt any kind of actually progressive policy. This is what all of their actions have shown us. Don't give them a pass for incompetence, they are just as culpable for the situation we find ourselves in today.
Agreed.
It's wild that Biden's arrogance and conceit was a more important concern than winning the election. Everyone around him knew his brain was fucked.

Fuck. Off. Grandpa.
yea sure more of the old stuff should help
Dude's figured out his legacy isn't what he thought it would be and is trying to come back and "fix" it. Fucking horrible person for his entire adult life.
Maybe he should offer to help Gaza instead. Fuck Biden.
He could do anything selfless and it would work, I'm just not sure he's capable.
I don’t think it’s that. I think he truly thinks he’s had a good career and fought the good fight. He’s so out of touch, but he wants to help because he heard there’s a problem. Probably don’t even understand how his help might not be a good thing.
I think he wants to help out of self preservation, because he still sees himself tied to the democrat party. If it implodes immediately after he loses an election (arguably his loss as well as Kamala's), it will tank his legacy. He will be a big part of why the party died.
So sure, yeah he wants to help the democrats, in a round about way. Its hilarious he thinks he could help at all though, rather than hasten its implosion.
Fuck off and get back to bed, Joe
Fuck off Joe!
Anyone over the age of 55 needs to be in an advisory role, not a leadership role. It is literally the same fucking leadership today as it was 20 years ago.
RETIRE YOU OLD FUCKS
Yes please prop up the dead husk of Joe Biden on a stage like weekend at Bernie's. That'll really embolden the base.
Christ almighty, no. It's bad enough that the Democratic consultancy didn't tell him to go fuck himself when he thought to run for president a second time.
Joe Biden fundraising, colorized:
They still think all they need to do is more fundraising. The Democratic party is cooked.

LOL, Dems, how about you prove you can do anything useful first, and then ask for money. You're a disgrace.
You're not prepaid cell phone service.
We desperately need new blood in the Democratic party - people who understand how to actually work for working class voters and to communicate that and earn back people's trust.
Joe's a good man, but his brand of 'actions speak louder than words' does NOT work in the Trump era.
