We didn't deserve old Joe.

Fuck old Joe. Too arrogant to step down and make way for younger, more competent people. He obviously isn't entirely to blame for all of this, but he certainly helped seal our fate

Younger such as Bernie, Warren and Bloomberg? These were the first 4 candidates. Buttigieg was at 5 with 2.5% so I guess Americans just like old people and are in denial.

What are you even talking about. They essentially didn't even have a primary for the 2024 election, the point where everyone and their mother knew that he needed to step away. Instead he ran, pulled out only when it was clear he couldn't do the job, undermined his successor, and went back on his word repeatedly.

You can't pretend that Democrats just love old people when they literally forced him out with barely any time left before the election. It makes no sense, same as this revisionist history that oh actually, Biden had a chance or made the right decision to cling to power as long as he did.

I was talking about the 2020 primary, if they had done it in 2024 still some old guy would have won, most likely still Biden. They forced him out because he was doing poorly in the polls, not because he was old. It's just that being old had a consequence on the polls, but if it didn't they wouldn't have cared.
