No, because he never said it directly just hinted at it:

Asked in October if he would only serve one term if elected, the former vice president told the Associated Press that he wouldn't make that promise but he wasn't deeply committed to seeking a second term.

"I feel good and all I can say is, watch me, you'll see," Biden said. "It doesn't mean I would run a second term. I'm not going to make that judgment at this moment."

However there were several advisors on his campaign that said it:

"If Biden is elected, he's going to be 82 years old in four years and he won't be running for reelection," a prominent adviser to the campaign told Politico.

I haven't read the whole article so I can't say I agree with anything it says, but I just found this:

"From the beginning of the election to its final days, Latino voters in interviews and polls consistently named the economy, inflation or higher costs as their No. 1 issue and gave Trump the advantage on them."

"Harris has a significant lead among young registered voters in the NBC News Stay Tuned Gen Z Poll powered by SurveyMonkey. But a yawning gender gap is dividing Gen Z."

That being said, we all know how inaccurate polls can be sometimes.

In private? I can see them saying it on TV and the rubes still voting for them since all they watch is Fox News and they'd never run it.

In related news:

In June 2016, a class action lawsuit was filed against the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and former DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz for violating the DNC Charter by rigging the Democratic presidential primaries for Hillary Clinton against Bernie Sanders. Even former Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid admitted in July 2016, “I knew—everybody knew—that this was not a fair deal.”

Flipping the narrative: if you can get a solid stint of sobriety now, you'll be in good shape come January and whatever comes after that.

Good point. Thanks for giving me at least one positive thing to think about for January 2025.

You lost. Maybe you should shut up

You've been saying that a lot to different people. Why is it so hard for you to hear a differing opinion?

"Good job to all the fucks who repeated genocide wasn't that big of a deal lmao."

"You lost. You should really shut the fuck up."

I don't think anyone was saying that "genocide wasn't that big of a deal." What I repeatedly heard was people rightfully pointing out that the Gaza genocide would be much worse under a Trump presidency. Only bad-faith actors were twisting their words and pretending that that was condoning genocide. You fell for the propaganda... or you're one of the ones spreading it.

American here too: please don't drink. He's not worth it.

But I feel your pain. I was at the beginning of my second day sober when I read the news. You can't imagine how much I want a drink right now. I'm so scared about the future.

But, I can do this. Day three is only a few hours away. I'm crying a lot, but I can get through this.

Nice! Good job.

I've quit a couple of times; 1.5 years, 10 months, and a few shorter stints. A few days ago I decided it was time again. 2 days sober now and it's rough, especially with the election results (terrible time to quit LOL).

I'm not sure how long I can make it this time but I'm taking the 24 hour pledge to not drink. Wish me luck.
