Obama fucking hates HATES HATES the DNC. Mainly for forcing Hilary on him. Benghazi and Libya will always be a stain and I don't think he'll ever forgive Hilary for collaborating the French to get rid of Gaddhafi when he was going to make his own currency. I have a feeling Libya was orchestrated largely behind his back and is basically a huge black mark on his legacy. Word is that they hated he each other to the core. It makes sense he wouldn't come out for Biden, who now basically has dementia and will basically be a puppet for Harris who the DNC really wants to run the country. So he's not going to come out and he's only going to show lukewarm support.
They really can't persuade him. He fucking hates them, probably more than he hates Trump because they're an active stain on his legacy, which was his number 1 priority. I also feel he largely blames the DNC for fucking up 2016 and getting Trump in to completely dismantle all his shit. Also remember the Birther garbage was originally started by Hilary and the DNC. Something for which I don't think he's ever forgiven them. Not to mention Obama is rich as FUCK. He doesn't need the DNC and he probably has more dirt on them than the DNC has on him. So they kind of can't really do much to him. There's a lot of bad blood between him and the DNC and he seems to be happy raking in money from his books and speaking tours, so he's not really interested in politics, so there's fuck all they can do to strong arm him.
He obviously can't say "Fuck Joe Biden" but he isn't going to go out on a limb for the DNC candidate either. For Obama, I think this is schadenfreude. Its Hilary's DNC and as far as he's concerned, that hag can suck a bag of dicks. He might even resent them for forcing Biden out on stage, since we know they were friendly. Dude lost his son to cancer and now he's out on the campaign trail? All of that stress had to have greatly accelerated his decline.
Imagine you've got a good friend you want to hang out with, you know he's got 10 goodish years left, but then these faggots you hate force him out on the campaign trail when he's already stressed, already had to deal with one of the most stressful jobs on the planet. They have to pump him full of meds, he barely knows where he is half the time. Those 5-10ish years are now about 1 to 2 and he's constantly embarrassing himself on the world stage, sopping up even more stress. He's slipping into dementia and isn't the guy you knew anymore. Coming out would only add to his stress and his decline. Tbh, if Joe was my friend and these cunts forced him to do this, I wouldn't come out either. Imagine that pressure, knowing you have to remain composed in front of your good friend for a campaign event when you're slipping in and out of dementia. I'd want to beat them to death. Fuck, I'd donate to the Trump campaign.
So I think its a combo of two things. One, Obama really, REALLY fucking hates Clinton and the DNC. Two, Obama really, REALLY fucking hates the position his friend has been put in and his involvement would only further his pressure and his decline. I know they say there are no friends in politics, but they did seem to be very close. Moreso than other Presidents and VPs. Would you want to support this scumfuck organization? I wouldn't.
Also I think Obama is far too shrewd to fully throw everything away on 'orange man bad'. He's a very crafty, intelligent politician. He knows which way the wind is blowing. And he's only happy to add to the collapse of this current iteration of the DNC. That's why I think he's so quiet. The DNC cannot force him. He's basically all they have left and he holds all the cards. He loathes Clinton and her cronies, so they can't influence him to do anything. Clinton's loss was such an embarrassment that they hold no sway over Obama and he can basically do as he likes.
Maybe the bare minimum he will do is solo rallies far away from Joe as not to stress him as the election reaches its culmination, meaning little to no impact. The combination of bad blood between the current DNC and Obama, Obama being more powerful and popular than any candidate on the field and Obama liking money more leads to him not giving a fuck. Its up to you guys to think if he's doing it out of goodwill for Biden, lack of faith in Biden or disgust that they're doing this to his friend so they can slip Harris in as the President they want. I'd be disgusted too.
He can't fully go out against Biden, because Biden is his friend. Plus he wants those sweet progtard dollars. But he doesn't have to come out swinging for him either.
Kerry vs. Bush. Kerry's platform was "I'm not Bush". He got fucking slaughtered.
Resting. Stress accelerates dementia massively. I'm going to go all science on you guys right now.
The stress hormone is cortisol. Its been associated with a weakened immune system, mental illness and weight gain. Another area: Memory loss. Cortisol affects the hippocampus (the area that affects memory formation). Imagine having one of the most stressful jobs on the planet. Then having a son die. Then being forced into a presidential run. Imagine how much duress Biden is constantly under. Cortisol is our fight-or-flight hormone. Because the body is under intense stress, the neurons in the hippocampus are constantly being pruned, and dying off. Imagine how much stress this man has been under, perpetually, for the past 12 years. Then he loses access to his memories and his ability to create new ones are impaired. And him being older, his cells are undergoing a process called cell senescence (basically, ironically, the risk for cancer goes down as you get older. This is because, due to the destruction of your telmoeres, it takes longer and longer for your cells to replicate. Your cells actually get senile). So because cell destruction is exceeding the rate of cell creation, he's having constant memory problems.
But guess what else occurs? Because your hippocampus is damaged, something else has to take the role. The amygdala. The amygdala is a more primitive memory organ tied to emotion. It becomes a stronger structure. The amygdala is focused more on emotional memories, so to pick up the slack when our memory goes, it amps up its activity. So what happens? We become more emotional, more irritable. We revert to emotional memory instead of long-term/short-term memory, which explains his outbursts of anger and strange emotional states.
So not only does he have a form of dementia, the constant stress he's undergoing is accelerating the process. In order to mitigate this, he needs to rest and de-stress for exceedingly long periods of time.
Basically Joe Biden could have enjoyed his twilight years with top-tier medical treatment, sitting on a porch, polishing off an old truck drinking beers with Obama and shit-talking Clinton. But he's put up as a prop for the DNC to use, to run this man into the ground for the candidate they want to get into office (Harris). And nobody gives a fuck, as long as its not Trump. Its truly despicable what they're doing. And I have every reason to believe they know exactly what they're doing.
They're the fucking scum of the Earth. I don't blame the electorate for not knowing, because you really have to follow this shit and pay attention. On the surface, he just appears a shitty candidate and gaffe machine. But when you dig a bit, its so much darker than that. Its not really a huge conspiracy. His campaign amounts to basically elder abuse. They know he's not going to last and they don't want him to. They're more than happy to burn him out and to the ground. Just after all the votes are counted.
I'm with
@It's HK-47 on that the DNC is not competent enough to steal an election and make it look legitimate unless it is fucking ungodly close. Everyone saw Hilary steal the primaries. But that was DNC business. Stealing an election is another thing entirely. You have to be competent to do that. And the DNC is anything but competent.
