Current Events > Biden officially announced re-election campaign via video

(+) Yeah! (+)

Video? Seriously? Cmon Joe!

im not thrilled by this. Its still gonna be better than any GOP candidate but still. Doing this via video just screams were worried about Biden speaking live

Name one time you saw him that wasn't on video or picture

He has done some things through his time that has some approval from me. Specifically I think his handling of Ukraine has been great with intel destroying many russian pushes. I would be far happier for him to step down and let others run. I get why he doesnt. But most didn't want him initially and don't want to vote for him again.

Boo! Get someone younger.

Wash your hair girls, its sniffing time

Sigh. He once said he'd only run once.

I will begrudgingly vote for him again

Is Joe even in charge really?

No but his animated corpse is

More Presidents should just do 4 years and be done. PJ is too old enjoy retirement.

No Ive been to some rallies and events of his.

Just sad that theyre willing to throw this walking centrist mummy on us, cause they think he'd have better odds? Fucking 80 years old man.

Did people expect him to just do 1 term? Why?

I recall him stating that he planned on only doing 1 tern

Maybe because he's 80 years old and barely coherent on his "good" days. It's troubling.

Thats incorrect, he never has said or suggested just serving 1 term.

Because he's an old dumbass.

If this and Trump are all that can win in America, then why do we even allow this country to continue?

Old people need to be banned from political office. If you are over 65 or will turn 65 in office, sit the fuck down and go retire somewhere.

Lol Biden is a smart dude. Yeah hes old and his mind is slower, but hes got far more credentials than you will ever have honestly

People were extremely naive if they thought Biden wasn't running for reelection. I think a lot of people forget how much of an advantage the incumbent has in the white house. Why give that up when the only other reasonable option we would get right now are fucking Copmala or Pete Buttgieg. Those two would get creamed and they suck.

So odds are we will have two people facing each other, AGAIN, that 70 percent of the population don't want running.

I'm tired of this. I am no longer voting for "the lesser of two evils." I am voting for no one if no one deserves it. You don't get to cry to me about how that's really a vote for one of the candidates. That's on you. Fucking run better people.

Then America isn't worth it if this decrepit bastard is the only person in the entire fucking country that can temporarily hold of fascism and widespread genocide. We've already lost.

the people have never chosen who runs for President directly anyways. Getting the nomination for your party is a game. Requires tons of money and sucking up to those who can finance your campaign.

sure we vote in the general election and in primariesbut there has never been a time in history when the candidates running for a party nomination is even who the general public would want in office.

Shut up dude

hockeybub is actually correct.
If our "best" option is an 80 year old barely functional man that his "advisors" and cabinet treat like Bernie from Weekend at Bernie's then this country is in a dire fucking state.

you do know that trump was in his 70s just a few years ago when serving right?

a 73 year old is typically in the same state as an 80 year old. Did you say that America was doomed when trump was elected due to his age? Doubt it.

I get all of that. And I am kind of putting some blame where it doesn't go.

But they don't have to select Biden. It's just a courtesy because it makes the party look stronger. They could run someone else if they wanted. He didn't decide to run again without their say so. So in a way they kind of are endorsing him. If the poll number I heard today of 70 percent of people not being excited for Biden to run again is true then why are they running him again. They have had 3 years to find someone and they haven't. I guarantee the goal was for Kamala to take over after 4 but guess what, she hasn't done shit. No one would be excited to vote for her if she ran.

And while I just rallied against Democrats there I swear I'm not some MAGA Red Hat or something. I voted for Biden the first time.

But for real, I think Republicans have a better chance of winning than last time simply because Biden was picked again for the Dems. People aren't enthusiastic to go out and vote for him. People will stay home saying "meh, Biden won last time he will do it again, I don't need to go out today to vote."

Weird deflection considering we're discussing Joe Biden.
I've seen Joe Biden when he was actually Joe Biden and not this shadow of a shadow they wheel out every once in awhile nowadays. It's jarring to see and sad at the same time.

Incumbents always have the advantage. If Trump wins the GOP nom Biden will sweep him yet again.

if the GOP runs with someone not trump or Desantis who is much more sensible and less extreme, Biden could lose. But at this point, I dont see anyone whos a moderate Republican even having a chance to score the nom

its not a deflection when all youre doing is complaining about age. MOST of our politicians are 70+

Yeah. Terrifying isn't it?

Agreed. They know that the only way they win is by painting democrats as some extreme evil way too progressive party.

when in reality, democrats are just trying to give everyone equal rights, tax the rich, and take care of the less fortunate.

What about the economy, Joe?

Can we please have a president that isnt 90 years old? I dont feel like thats asking for too much.

We could potentially have two legit 80 year olds running for President.

Jesus, America is a lost cause. At least Biden isn't Trump or Desantis though.

Can't speak for Vy, but I did. Trump was not only old, but he's literally an idiot and was best known for having a catchphrase on a reality show. A healthy country doesn't vote in Donald Trump, or geriatrics over and over.

Im gonna go out on a limb and guess Kamala Harris didnt say a word in this.

I thought he already announced it.
