    I remember having mad respect for Biden for announcing his intention before 2020 of being a one term president.

    It sickens me how much the Democrats dropped the ball.

      Biden doesn’t get enough hate. If he had allowed real primaries, the Democratic candidate would have won easily. Trump won again because right wing Democrats fight harder against progressive Democrats than they do against Republicans.

        That’s assuming the Democrats would even allow fair primaries. That shit has been rigged since forever.

        My best “famous people” story is that I once had a private dinner with Joe Biden and his entire family, Jill and Beau and Hunter and their kids when they were small.

        Now, instead of a great story, I had dinner with one of the worst presidents of our time.

        Dammit Joe. You fucked up our country, and my story.

          one of the worst presidents of our time

          Given the competition, he’s actually one of the best of our time.

          That’s not a good thing.

            No. He’s the modern Buchanan, but worse since the civil war we’re careening towards wouldn’t have happened if he’d not decided to run again.
