A wet blanket could have beaten Trump if it promises tax-paid single payer health care.
But, it would never happen because the rich 1% would refuse to donate.

No, President Biden, I do not believe that you could have.
We so desperately need a ranked choice dem primary every 4 years, 1 year before election with debates and all. Let the incumbent earn their spot
And let the people pick and not corporations? Never going to happen.
Most states refuse to adopt anything but FPTP because it works in favor of the two parties. Governors across the 50 states have vetoed bills or state wide ballots to enable them. It’s easier to win against one than five.
Biden has dementia, lol. Good for him, or whatever, it’s natural at his age. Just be decent and stop putting him in the news lolz.
In what universe? Certainly not the one where all polling data had Trump beating him in a landslide, where Biden was so unpopular that he was going to lose the Dems down-ballot races. Biden seriously thinks that the issue with Kamala Harris is that she was a black woman, instead of realizing the issue is that Kamala said she was going to be 4 more years of Joe Biden politics.
Rest in piss you dementia-addled boomer.
He’s actually too old to be a boomer, just like Trump.
Nothing wrong with the rest of your post.
I actually hate the idea of using boomer as an insult to people who are just of the right age. To me, you gotta have a certain state of mind and actions to count as a shitty boomer. Just as there’s some super cool old hippies out there, there’s entitled 30-something Karens out there that need to hear “Ok Boomer.”
Age warfare is a distraction from class warfare, of course. Not to say we can’t find patterns, but we gotta keep in mind that stereotyping is kinda meh.
Not running again in the first place, like the original plan was, would have helped too. Not this botched primary override shit. That’s 3 primaries in a row the Dems have fucked with. Stop listening to the damn donors over the voters.
Actually do someone to help the people, you’d win in a land slide.
And stop sponsoring genocide
He can also throw a football over those mountains. And he can hold his breath for 17 minutes. He once flew to the moon in a hot air balloon, and had an affair with the Queen of the Moon. He likes green eggs and ham, but never once hopped on pop. He invented the post-it note and once fed a gremlin after midnight with no consequences.
and once fed a gremlin after midnight with no consequences.
Ah now i know you’re fibbing
Boy that dementia’s really settling in, huh?
Centrist is delusional and utterly lacking in self awareness. Learns absolutely nothing from losing every branch of government. News at 11.
He probably would have even after the debate.
The biggest shifts in voters where white men and hispanic men. The two goups with machismo issues.
So basically they lost by running a woman
They had internal polling showing Trump would take 400 electoral votes after that debate. If you don’t remember how disastrous it was then go watch it again.
And there was the better part of a year between the debate and the election. Attention spans are short considering we elected a guy who attempted a coup and has financial ties to the Kremlin.
Again, the biggest shifts in voter demographics were white men and hispanic men. Who both voted for the white old guy dem but not the woman dem.
They aren’t that short. And what are the odds he spikes the second debate too? This isn’t T-Ball, you don’t get your guaranteed batting chance.
Looking at the polling, Biden was on track to lose worse than Harris did. So, no, he would not have beaten Trump.
Sure grandpa, let’s get you to bed.
Lmao exactly what I thought when opening this thread
“When Trump was running again for reelection, I really thought I had the best chance of beating him,” Biden said of his decision to run in 2020. “But I also wasn’t looking to be president when I was 85 years old, 86 years old. And so I did talk about passing the baton.”
So then why the fuck didn’t you let a proper primary happen grandpa!? Why didn’t you step the fuck down sooner!?
(Insert goose chasing meme here)
He’s legitimately delusional if he thinks that. He only won in 2020 because of a devastating worldwide pandemic that his opponent was in the middle of botching the response to, getting millions of people killed. If not for that we would already be at the end of Trump’s second term.
The democratic party needed a real primary without meddling from DNC leadership.
Because you don’t give up the incumbent advantage in US Presidential Elections. It is bad strategy, and not only eliminates a very real statistical advantage, it makes the party look very bad which can actively hurt the party beyond just losing the advantage.
There are people who have studied this shit their entire lives. You don’t know better than them.
You know what would have been the adult move? Him resigning in early 2023 when people were starting to notice senior moments more and more often. Then we would not have had an incumbent who proved he belongs in the memory care ward on national television. You don’t suffer a loss like that debate and hide behind strategy. They fucked us. They fucked the country over one senile man’s ego.
Nearly every incumbent in a Western democracy for the past two years has lost their re-election.
Desperately clinging to out of date concepts in the face of statistics is the reason why you’re not a political analyst. The reason Biden stepped down and the reason Trudeau just retired is because polling data made it abundantly clear neither incumbent had a snowball’s chance in hell of winning.
Because you don’t give up the incumbent advantage in US Presidential Elections.
Are you saying that Biden would have done better than Harris?
Yes, but when other incumbent governments were being voted out all over the world after the pandemic that should have been a red flag at least.
Even the ones that handled it well, like nz
He is ruining his legacy and needs to shut up. He fucked up many times, no need to add to the pile now.
Trump is his legacy. It can’t be ruined. It is ruin.
Trump, Genocide, Protectionism, State sponsored hate, and an illegal asylum policy.
yeah yeah, perfect is the enemy of imperfect
Trump is Biden’s legacy? You realize that he was president before Biden, right?
Anything to blame Democrats for the awful shit Republicans do…
Trump is Biden’s legacy? You realize that he was president before Biden, right?
Trump’s re-election is Biden’s legacy. Condescending and deliberately obtuse don’t go well together.
Only a simpleton couldn’t see Biden’s fault in this.
You said “Trump is his legacy.”
That’s fucking dumb.
