    Biden's been wanting the presidency since he first ran in 1988. He's not going to give up living his dream.

    Lol really? Reddit is all about punishing all Trump supporters. Even AOC is advocating with a style of a political purge. Sounds like the party of hate thanks they have a mandate to exercise their hate

    He has already said he will likely only serve one term and will step down after that.
    We will see what happens, I just hope this insane era of “president for only those that voted for me” is over.

    His historical knowledge is on the low side, but he's not a bad guy. He just has a romantic view of what an empire really implies, which for the most part is a powerful elite, which he has no chance of ever being a member of, and abject poverty and misery for everybody else.

    Some Democrats will hopefully quickly get over being mocked and ridiculed for four years while being told they should just leave. That said, that is a single member of Congress, not the President

    So yes, hate lost

    And please don’t get your news from social media. That is already fringe information

    Agreed. I've already stated he will be a one term president.

    He's just not going to give it up while he does have the Oval.

    I don’t think most states cut off ballot arrival on Election Day. I know California doesn’t, it all depends on the postmark. The post office being slow shouldn’t mean my vote doesn’t count.

    He also won’t run again. He knows an incumbent has a huge advantage. It wouldn’t surprise me if he resigns after 2.5 or 3 years, giving the country time to see she can be president. Then she can be elected for a further two terms. That would be his legacy.
    If he steps away before 2 years she could only serve one further term.

    Congratulations America on removing this vile man from office. Outside a handful of dictators and right wing nutters the world is breathing a collective sigh of relief. We can now start working ot heal alliances and undo the damage done.

    There have been few people so manifestly unsuited for the Presidency and perhaps none who have so degraded the office - something he continues to do even after defeat. The road ahead will be difficult, but you have now given yourselves an opportunity to heal your nation and its institutions. This will not be an easy or quick task. best of luck.

    Do you believe in any area of American society be it economy, race relations, anything - do you believe sleepy Joe will do better and faster than Trump? Perhaps, black employment will increase? :juggle:

    Perhaps, NATO can now go back to not paying their fair share and Illegal Aliens can pour through our borders unmolested? :roflol:

    Excellent. You've clearly perfected the art.

    Trump lost share of rich white elites. He gained share with blacks. He gained share with Hispanics. He gained share with Muslims. He gained share with the working-class voter. Which of those "sycophantic" groups will history not be kind to?

    I tend to agree that he won't run again, but I don't think he will resign short of ill health. I think that just handing Harris the Presidency would be a mistake - I think it would actually give her a legitimacy problem.

    My bet is that he will give her a higher profile & more reponsibility than any Vice President has had for a good long while. She will be given the opportunity to establish a profile and a record of working in government and thus the inside track for the 2024 nomination. That won't guarantee her anything, especially if she makes a hash of it, but it will guarantee her a rare opportunity. If she is capable

    I love it when people spend years supporting Trump and then get upset because people don't use a particular tone when talking to them. The cognitive dissonance there is off the charts. it is also a reminder that the thing most dear to Trump supporters is their sense of victimhood. That is the great force that binds them and they will find it in any circumstance or interaction.

    You seem to be under the delusion that I'm a democrat and a Biden fan.

    Neither are true.

    This wasn't a rejection of republicans. This was the rejection of one particular clown.

    Good points. That may be more likely.

    He won't have a choice. Dementia usually progresses fairly quickly from the early stage he's at now.

    Joe Biden is an empty meat suit that can be filled with whatever someone puts on the teleprompter. Between the Republicans, Centrists and Progressives fight for control of the teleprompter, Joe Biden will get ripped to shreds fairly quickly. Fortunately for him, he will unlikely be aware of it as the lights in his head continue to dim.

    Yes, Kamala will be far more visible and outspoken than any VP in history. Mainly because she doesn't say things like "truininanashabadeprizure".

    This presidency is largely going to be Kamala's ballgame.

    Why pay more if it isn't needed? Nato has been doing its job until now with the budget that they've presently have.
