Obamna has some words:

My Statement on President Biden’s Announcement​

Joe Biden has been one of America’s most consequential presidents, as well as a dear friend and partner to me. Today, we’ve also been reminded — again — that he’s a patriot of the highest order.

Sixteen years ago, when I began my search for a vice president, I knew about Joe’s remarkable career in public service. But what I came to admire even more was his character — his deep empathy and hard-earned resilience; his fundamental decency and belief that everyone counts.

Since taking office, President Biden has displayed that character again and again. He helped end the pandemic, created millions of jobs, lowered the cost of prescription drugs, passed the first major piece of gun safety legislation in 30 years, made the biggest investment to address climate change in history, and fought to ensure the rights of working people to organize for fair wages and benefits. Internationally, he restored America’s standing in the world, revitalized NATO, and mobilized the world to stand up against Russian aggression in Ukraine.

More than that, President Biden pointed us away from the four years of chaos, falsehood, and division that had characterized Donald Trump’s administration. Through his policies and his example, Joe has reminded us of who we are at our best — a country committed to old-fashioned values like trust and honesty, kindness and hard work; a country that believes in democracy, rule of law, and accountability; a country that insists that everyone, no matter who they are, has a voice and deserves a chance at a better life.

This outstanding track record gave President Biden every right to run for re-election and finish the job he started. Joe understands better than anyone the stakes in this election — how everything he has fought for throughout his life, and everything that the Democratic Party stands for, will be at risk if we allow Donald Trump back in the White House and give Republicans control of Congress.

I also know Joe has never backed down from a fight. For him to look at the political landscape and decide that he should pass the torch to a new nominee is surely one of the toughest in his life. But I know he wouldn’t make this decision unless he believed it was right for America. It’s a testament to Joe Biden’s love of country — and a historic example of a genuine public servant once again putting the interests of the American people ahead of his own that future generations of leaders will do well to follow.

We will be navigating uncharted waters in the days ahead. But I have extraordinary confidence that the leaders of our party will be able to create a process from which an outstanding nominee emerges. I believe that Joe Biden’s vision of a generous, prosperous, and united America that provides opportunity for everyone will be on full display at the Democratic Convention in August. And I expect that every single one of us are prepared to carry that message of hope and progress forward into November and beyond.

For now, Michelle and I just want to express our love and gratitude to Joe and Jill for leading us so ably and courageously during these perilous times — and for their commitment to the ideals of freedom and equality that this country was founded on.


 
Nothing says "saving democracy" than replacing your liver-spotted vegetable of a Manchurian candidate long after your political party's primaries are in the rear view mirror with a hand picked stooge that the public has no say in voting for or against.
I feel like this is just a meme but it's probably not too far from what people are thinking. There's the vote blue no matter who people, but it's really hard to champion saving democracy with a candidate literally no one voted for.
 
AUGH YEAH They're going to make her win, im going to make so much money it'll be ridiculous.
>he doesn't know that the kabal has picked Trump this time around because they've come to the conclusion that he'll be more effective at getting people into the military for WW3
 
Trump's team very quick on the campaign ads lmao. We don't even know if she'll be the nomination.
It's amazing because if she isn't the nominee they automatically lose a few key states because of nomination rules and have to build up a rando's profile. If she is the nominee she can be slaughtered for everything Biden did in office plus she's a retard.
 
Every single time I see American political subreddits, it feels like the American equivalent to those "troll armies" you see like in regimes like Iran. Seeing these formulaic comments talking about their leaders and the Democratic Party so positively while having no dissenting (or neutral) comments is just hilarious.

"Our respectable leader, President Joseph Robinette Biden Jr., has led our great nation to new heights of prosperity and strength!
Under his wise guidance, McDonald Burger production is booming, unemployment rates are at an all-time low, and trans rights are thriving! But beware, fellow Americans - our enemies seek to bring us down!
The undemocratic Russians and Chinese, with their sinister schemes and nefarious plots, pose a grave threat to our democratic friends abroad!
They spread lies and propaganda, attempting to sow discord among our people through the false entity known as the "Republican Party."
We must remain vigilant and reject their false narratives!
Trump is an anti-democratic collaborator. He shall be kicked out of our homeland!"
 
I mean yea, obviously you're right about that, the issue is though, they are still "real" votes in the sense that they will be counted. I think when it comes to politics the 5-10% who are vocal basically decide the vote for the other 90-95% who are too retarded to make up their own opinions.

We are still in this, we haven't won yet, and thinking that we can just coast by because the demented old man who won last time put in the most unpopular slut in his place is the wrong way to go about it. They are probably banking on just how much we think we have it in the bag.

The fact of the matter is, Trump is running against someone who has literally ZERO support, and she is somehow still a threat, and that is an existential issue to me at least, at just how fucked the country is right now.


Giving people free shit that YOU paid for goes a long way my man, and they are gunna pull out all the stops to give as much of your money to those people as possible.

People really underestimate how unbelievably retarded most of the planet is, In reality maybe 10% of democrats will see how bad joe or kamala are and change their vote. 90% will vote for anyone the Dems run and I mean anyone, they could run some random homeless man from New York and you would see them rally behind him and even if he lost he would get maybe 40% of the vote. Even people I know personally who hate most democrat policy and find themselves constantly agreeing with right wing ideas still vote democrat because they just blindly support them no matter what. Unfortunately the majority who are silent are too stupid to form their own ideas and just parrot the TV.
