Well, that's on him, and so is his loss and all the consequences that come from it. All to try and satisfy his ego. Insanity.
Could be that he’s trying to save America from falling into the hands of a fascist traitor to his country.
He sad before that he wasn’t planning on running again unless it’s to keep Trump from taking over.
Now that that Trump is trying to take over- it’s his duty to protect America. And so he’s running. I know this upsets the bots and MAGA trolls, but that’s where we are now.
If he was trying to save American democracy he'd step down, this is about his bloated sense of self importance.
He's going to lose if he runs. He's the single worst option for Democrats.
ROFL… you seem quite certain of this. Care to share what you know that the rest of us don’t?
No, the rest of us know, you don't know because you haven't been paying attention. Polling shows Biden losing by almost 10 points. Even Kamala Harris has better numbers.
So if you actually wanted the best chance, you'd be wanting him to step down. But I'm guessing you don't.
Polls…. ROFL. The person that is suggesting someone that’s not even running to be the one to defeat Trump…. believes in polls.
How fitting.
How it feel to be wrong, tto have been wrong the entire time, and have every body know it but you knowing it.
Who says I’m wrong? Your fellow bots? I’m certain they don’t count for anything. And speaking of being wrong….
How about we compare mod logs to see who’s had posts removed for misinformation and trolling, shall we? I’m putting my money on you winning that one.
So… I ask you:
Its about how well your world view predicts the future.
Yours doesn't.
Realistically, you are the one whose been putting out the misinformation and has been trolling; its what history will show and how this will all shake out.
You are in the wrong; they are in the wrong.
And someone who’s constantly having comments removed and banned is the voice of reason here?
Everyone knows what you’re up to. You’re not fooling anyone.
Oh the fucking irony.
You don't get it yet, but we'll all be able to point to you, defending the indefensible, this entire time.
History will show you demanding we stick with a losing strategy much longer than we needed to.
Again, you’re not fooling anyone man. We all know why you’re here.
This is kind of amazing to watch.
Whats it like when your entire worldview collapses in on its self to find you've been wrong the entire time?
Historically, I refused to engage with Trump cult members in any way, so I don't have a view into this mentality.
Whats it like?
Look a that! Upvotes within a minute of posting! That has to be legit!
I mean, this conversation is happening in public. People see you being, and having been, entirely on the wrong side of all this, in such a way that you've damaged our ability to stop Trump. We can fix this, but we have to act now. We're able to fix it in-spite of you, not because of you. You are still blocking our ability to stop Trump.
You've gaslit yourself into a state of complete denial and delusion. And yes, I've been caught the brunt of the down votes from other people as delusional as yourself, for months; years. But they were wrong, and you were wrong, and I've been right this entire time. My worldview accurately predicts future states. Yours (and theirs) doesn't.
Wow… such quick upvotes bud! You must have a huge fan!
And again, we all know what you’re up to. No one believes you’re here in any good faith capacity. Your mod log is evidence of your sad attempts to troll.
Or maybe it's you that's bad faith.
This certainly adds a lot to the discussion. Gonna go ahead and end this here. You’ve outed yourself for what you are clearly enough for my taste. I see no reason to continue.
Kid, everyone here knows every one else here.
We all know you are blue MAGA. Every one knows your blue MAGA. And until last week, there was a significant chance you were going to force us off a cliff with Joe Biden at the helm.
THANKFULLY we're able to fix that, no thanks to you.
Every comment you make just tells on yourself. We know what you’re doing here. You’re not clever.
You just don't get it do you. You've lost yourself in a narcissistic self delusion. Its sad. But I do appreciate you all giving us a glimpse into how these kinds of cults form. Its important for us as a community so we can inoculate ourselves. Through your sacrifice, you've done us a service.
But it is sad.
Everyone that disagrees with you isn't a bot. You know this, right?
I absolutely know this. Which is why I don’t accuse everyone that disagrees with me. But if you’re trying to say that there aren’t bad actors among the far left (like the one was responding to) then you’re either blind, or one of them.
There it is.
The automatic assumption anyone disagreeing with you is a bot.
That last desperate cry of the boomer.
There it is.
The automatic assumption that some equals all.
The annoyingly frequent desperate cry of the uninformed and easily manipulated.
OK boomer.
Oh no. A .ml kid called me a boomer! I may never recover. Hope Medicare will cover the hospital stay.
What is this 2005? Been so long since I've seen "ROFL" lol
ZOMGWTFBBQ
You.
What you don't know.
No, that's a blatantly selfish and ego driven motivation. "I'm too important to waste my time on the presidency unless I get to be seen as some kinda savior."
But he really has absolutely no chance of being remembered that way. Even if he wins. Especially if he wins. He has allowed pride to rob him of any chance of having a legacy with remembering. Ironic I think...
Maybe it’s that he knows he can win. It’s called confidence. I get that everyone wants the democratic vote divided, but some of us just want to keep Trump from winning.
When a disease is killing its host within a few months, you don’t spend years trying to cure the disease, you try and buy time by treating the damage so as to keep the just alive while working on a cure.
This is something that shouldn’t need to be explained.
