Is this the same guy they were all insistent was up to the challenge for over 3 years?
Suddenly he is PNG without so much as a comment.

1) You're not an American voter and 2) he is still very much loved by the Democratic party.

No one commented on poor Joe. Not a single person before 9:14am.
And he is basically admitting he was pressured out of the race.
Coup collaborators have no shame!

I’m American.
and Democrats running for office can’t run far away enough from the toxic Biden.
JJE
He has been unceremoniously shunted into a side room like some elderly, embarrassing family member by the Democratic Party, who are busy airbrushing and acid washing his legacy while pretending Harris had no connection to him. Surreal.

Yeah I bet they are really regretting that insistence to message everything as the “Biden/Harris administration”

And yet they bring him up at every rally.

I really don't need to know the reasons, we all know the reasons, the main thing is that he is gone, next time to retire his Marxist VP and her Socialist VP-nominee.
The battle continues!
JJE
Don't hold your breath to see him actually turn up at a rally.

Sounds like some of the exchanges with MAGA around here.
Case in point:
Care to explain the differences between Marxism and socialism without using some folksy analogy about Peter and Paul and making people eat the same thing forever?

Do you think all treaties with the US should be canceled?

Ouch! How's that abortion anvil that you have around your weird neck JD? Starting to feel a little heavy?

"US President Joe Biden, in his first TV interview since withdrawing from the election, has said he acted under pressure from fellow Democrats and out of a determination to see Donald Trump beaten."
Poor uncle Joe, stabbed at the back by those he ate and drunk with at the same table. Talk about Judas in a suit and a dress. Power and more power to the failed Dems political machine is all what they care about. No logic no reasoning but don't grieve their fragile emotion/ feelings.

Interesting this mentions the wide range of media interviews Vance conducted, "who blitzed the Sunday morning political talk shows".
There only person mentioned in this article who hasn't taken questions from journalists is Harris. Walz, although not mentioned here, seems to be evading the media also.

It seems our MAGA and Pro-Putin fans are in a "Funk" from reading the accompanying article on Ukraine's successful offensive into Russia...so they flock here....
OK, it's consistent with their dodge and cut and run strategy...
Speaking of dodging;
I'm reminded of the old "The dog that caught the car" analogy...
The far-right wanted Rowe vs Wade rescinded for years - and now they finally achieved it...
But which was politically better?
Under Rowe, they could argue that any abortion was killing babies - they didn't have to take a stand and DEFINE their view - they could just say life begins at conception and that was it...
Now they have to SAY their view on abortion - does life still begin at conception and is any abortion after that "murder". How about a six week ban - is that still killing babies? And the Big Unanswerable - is it OK to permit child murder until the 15th week?
As we've seen with interview after interview - and the posts here, MAGA-world "cuts and runs" when these questions are posed. They know that their evangelical base's No 1 issue is protecting the unborn, so they can't betray them. On the other hand they've seen the pro-choice polls and the referendums even in Red States supporting abortion rights.
They're stuck - in a huge problem of their own making...and it's so enjoyable watching them squirm..
JJE
Oh, does it now.
Look at the time stamps of respective posts of this article and the article you mentioned.
Still not a heap of praise for Biden posted here - only two posts even reference him in terms of positivity.
bass4funk
Yes
No, I did and don't need to again and again and again, won't change.
JJE
Another cut and paster eh...
Still waiting for the dam of praise for Biden to break open like Niagara. But it's more like a trickle and those two positive comments feel like they made somewhat belatedly, almost under duress.
Jimizo
A dam breaking open like Niagara?
What?
Tough one that. Biden was in decline when he won but deteriorated badly. Hit a wall. You can see the difference in his 2020 and 2024 debate performances.
Similar to Trump. He was in decline in 2020. He’s also hit a wall.
Happens. Age.
