Haters will say it’s fake

Of you ask me, this man is the reason for all of this. Bernie would have won reelection yesterday. Nearly anyone would have.

It wasn't just this man, it was the entire Democratic Party. Remember well that in the four years leaning up to the election, while the Republican party was playing 6-D chess trying to figure out every possible avenue they could use to sieze power, the Dems decided their best chance at defeating Trump was running Sleepy Joe Biden.

- They did Bernie fucking dirty in 2016.
  
  Then Biden knew he could run on name recognition alone and trounce Bernie in 2020. He knew people were pining for the Obama days and played off that nostalgia.
  
  Fuck Hillary Clinton, fuck Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, Kamala Harris is okay, fuck Joe Biden, and fuck the DNC. There's no reason they shouldn't run a progressive candidate, but it's clear they're allergic to winning elections.
  
  Also, did anyone seem to notice that "weird" dropped out of campaign messaging in the last couple months following the nom? Can't help but think the DNC was behind that. Calling them weird was their kryptonite, even if Kamala Harris essentially said, "I'd do nothing different from Joe."
  
  Joe Biden was a perfectly okay president. He was pretty invisible for the most part. He was a boring president. But he didn't bring the FIRE Bernie had in 2016 and 2020. He ran at a time when he KNEW he would win because Bernie was too far to the left for the DNC to be comfortable, and for that, I consider him a coward.
  
  We didn't deserve a President Sanders, but holy shit did we ever NEED him. And yes, I am coping pretty hard right now.

- people gonna start switching sides permanently if DNC can't fix themselves

Just imagine if he had stuck to his promise of being a one term president and didn't try to run for reelection.

38
- Can someone link a single moment where he said this?
  
  I don't remember it, but it has been four years.

Well, ideally Bernie would have won reelection in 2020 so he wouldn't have been able to run this time.

32
- ?? he was never president, why only one term?

Anyone under the age of 60 ... and as a person of colour, I hate to say it but ... a white male

Elect a bunch of socially minded white male leaders for a few terms and then you can move on to a progressive modern leader like a woman of colour

We haven't jumped into the future yet ... everyone still acts like deranged cavemen so don't hope for dramatic changes to happen like eliminating racism to take place in the space of a hundred years.

13
- I think you might really mean just a return to "normal", which would be a white man. I'm white and I couldn't care less what race color or gender our leaders are.
  
  But I sure as shit do want it back to being "boring". The constant clown show is embarrassing and exhausting.

Anyone except Kamala, apparently.

Is that why Biden had 14 million more votes?

You lot (Americans) are fucking racist and hate women. Numbers back it up.

Now we in the civilised world will have shitshow on news for years to come.

2
- There is overwhelming evidence that black and Latino voters helped carry this election for Trump, and that there largest concerns were economic ones that Harris was ignoring.
  
  You can scream about racism or sexism all you want, it's not going to change facts.
  
  28
- the civilized world is shrinking
  
  12
- I agree with you. Born and raised in Florida, moved to Tennessee. I was one of those who didn't want Biden, but was afraid taking him out of the race would escalate sexist/racist voters to sway. I think we can clearly say it swayed about 10 million people who previously voted for Biden.
  
  Harris would have been a better president long term for this country, Biden got shit done (that was shit done in a good way). Now we are in the end of times. I'm no Democrat, but fuck did I hope they could pull off a win. 10m also is likely the number of people who will be murdered in Ukraine if all our support is pulled. Fortunately Putin and Trump don't give 2 fucks about people, so they will work the long game and he will settle in first, and slowly pull away the blanket. And the dumbasses who voted for him will keep choking on the blanket trying to claim it isn't true. Russia stepped back and settled in for the long war how long ago? The long game is for them now.
  
  Iran will keep kicking them everything they need, what they don't have, China will. Flip side is Israel. If Trump doesn't get his family's waterside properties they scoped values on in Gaza a few years ago... Israel will be left to the wolves as well. And don't worry, just like last time, Hitrump doesn't dislike Jews, it's just good for his business. And no business matters but his

The results are disgusting.
But this is pretty funny, thank you for the needed laugh

You're welcome.

He was doing worse, wasn't he?

42

I think we woulda had our cheeks clapped either way.

43
- The only way to win was going full throttle progressive and saying fuck you to Israel. Such an anti establishment display would have rivalled people's (idiotic) perception of Trump. But instead she spent the last 3 months courting Republicans. Losing strat from the get-go.
  
  56
- exactly. I think whoever ended up as the D candidate was going to take the blame for the massive pandemic inflation. They were destined for failure from the beginning.
  
  6
- Sure seems like it

Bruh if you're still giving a shit about what any pre-election polls were saying after they've repeatedly failed to predict so many elections I don't know what to tell you.

I said it before he stepped down- America is too misogynist and racist to vote in Harris. Even the economic left. Would Biden have done better? I can't say. But I do think it's pretty damning that Harris didn't even win the popular vote like Biden and Hillary did.

12
- Biden couldn't even speak a coherent paragraph this time.
  
  7
- Polls are good for gauging general sentiment. If you're expecting them to accurately predict results in the sort of tight races this US has then you'll have a bad time.

Trump got same amount of votes as last time, but Harris got 14m less. So congrats, Democrats have fucked themselves over, yet again! Or you hate women or you hate PoC.

Sad truth. But numbers don't lie.

On one hand, I feel sorry for you Americans, but majority of you have chose this... What a joke.

- I'm not an American

They shoulda run Walz for prez

33

apparently lots of people didn't even realize biden dropped out until they saw the ballot. what the us needs is basic and free education.

15
- Jesus Christ, seriously? The amount of political ads we were bombarded with for 6 months leading up to November, and people didn't realize Biden wasn't running?
  
  7
- I was at a coffee place drive-through a couple of months ago and they always leave the window open there, so I heard them chatting inside and one of them was not even aware Biden was president. She literally said, "I thought Trump was the president."

Biden had zero chance.

33

And yet despite all the warning signs his hubris disrupted the democratic process and progressives were once again told to fall in line and back a candidate who campaigned on appealing to the center-right.

The Dems have let down the American people, again.

12
- I'm not really interested in making excuses for the 70+ million Americans that voted for a racist, sexist, felon fraud and rapist.

Joe Biden has an opportunity to do something very very funny with a shotgun called Official Acts.

Well deserved, if you ask me.

Yes grandpa, let's get you home.

A nice kek at the end of the tunnel.

US had to leave this half way. There was still one senile old geezer left.

Ah yes, hilarious

Misogynist bullshit. Very funny.

Calling things you don't like "bullshit" is misobovinist you absolute bigot. It's also racist because Indians love that stuff. Do better.
