The former US first lady told CBS News that she was frightened by Joe Biden’s performance against Donald Trump.

    It probably would have worked out fabulously.

    But he got backstabbed, and democrats instead tried to shove an unpopular, unwanted woman down our throats, against trump, again, because it went so well the first time.

    Weird how people never want to blame the people actually responsible.

      He was polling almost as bad as Trump is polling now. In December of 2023. They were objectively losing before the primary even started. December, 2023, Biden’s net approval was -16. No incumbent wins with a net -16 the December before the race. It just doesn’t happen.

      Stop trying to gaslight history. The people responsible for Trumps victory are the Biden team, the Harris team, and everyone that has made excuses for them along the way.

        They were “objectively losing” because the media did everything in its power to twist everything Biden did into a catastrophe and induced some kind of mass delusion that Biden was a doddering fool who wet himself and walked around in a daze doing nothing all day, while bending over backwards and tying itself into knots to keep from reporting anything but the most sanitized shit about Trump.

        Objectively Biden was doing great, and he had made incredible gains turning the country back around after Trumps first disaster of a presidency, and I very seriously doubt we’re gonna get so lucky as to have another person that capable coming in the second time around to unfuck everything again

      He would have gotten absolutely crushed, it would have been a landslide of embarrassing proportions. I don’t know what you’re smoking, but I want some. Harris was utterly wrong for the time, but she made a showing. The DNC brass are to blame for throwing the election.

        Harris could have won, but she made two massive mistakes: she was nearly invisible during Biden’s presidency, and she campaigned for Republicans, alienating many voters. She should have taken a more progressive stance and not campaign with Cheney and CEOs.
