I suppose he had to offer, it was his support of Israel murdering Palestinian women and children that lost Harris the election, but I think it's best for Joe to have a quiet retirement.

Maybe, in time, we'll remember him fondly as Obama's VP.

They already have chosen a new direction.
Unsurprisingly and in their tone-deaf character they have chosen the worst option.
"embrace patriotism" ban far-left candidate questionnaires and refuse to participate in forums that create ideological purity tests” , etc... I really hope this wakes up people to vote 3rd party, they do not represent working class people and never have.

Fark off. We're not giving you guys a goddamn thing. You are WAY too comfortable with doing nothing and compromising with 100% concentrated evil. I'll be voting for candidates who were born AFTER the Battle of the Bulge.

Just retire already. I still regret my vote for him.

You're getting downvoted but your comment prompts a thought. Would trump 2020 be as dangerous as 2024 trump? The time spent planning and organizing on their part has led to an extremely quick response in destroying this country compared to what happened in his 1st term

I've been saying this and it's an unpopular opinion... it honestly would have been better if Trump had just won in 2020.

Yes, COVID would have continued to be a disaster but we wouldn't have the J6 experience, he would still have a few of the old guard people keeping him in check, and he wouldn't have Elon Musk on board with him.

Most importantly: he would be blamed for the post-COVID shit that was his fault, rather than Biden taking the heat for not fixing the disaster Trump left him. The selective amnesia that settled over half the population from 2021-2024 would not have happened.

And we would be fucking done with Trump by now. My god, imagine that. He flies away on Jan 20, 2025 and we never have to hear from him ever again. Wouldn't that be heaven?

If Democrats were the opposition party during the genocide you wouldn’t get online liberals justifying it and ridiculing anyone opposed to it. The Democrats would have probably won in 2024 too.

No need for a new direction, right? Biden can run for president even if dead, and liberals would still vote for him.

[–] LowtierComputer@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

If it were him or Trump again?
