    The Bidens need to stay the fuck out. For good. You killed your own political dynasty, dipshit. Stay down.

    Edit: Jesus fuck, what a complete tool:

    Former President Joe Biden has told some Democratic leaders he’ll raise funds, campaign and do anything else necessary for Democrats to recover lost ground

    Really? You’ll do anything to recover the ground YOU lost? Except keep your promise to not campaign for another term? Or listen to constituents instead of consultants? Or do anything meaningful to preemptively stop fascism? Or bow out of the presidential campaign when it becomes painfully obvious that you have neither the temperament or mental acuity for the situation at hand? Or relinquish control of a presidential campaign that isn’t yours anymore? Or-

    You get the idea.

    Stay down, Biden. Your “help” looks a whole fucking lot like leading lambs to the slaughter. Nobody wants you or your help.

    The best thing he could do is be just as visible as an ex-president as he was while he was president…

    Meaning the most I want to hear from that asshat is a few mumbled sentences between exiting a building and entering a vehicle, but I’d prefer to just never hear from him again.

    Neoliberals have poisoned the party to the point that we’d all be better off if we never heard a squeak from them again

      He can put sunglasses on for memes and shit. His sole purpose should just be pointing at current egg prices with no words spoken.

    The only way he could help is if he invented a time machine and went back in time to convince himself to announce he isn’t going to pursue a second term in 2022. Or immediately stop supplying Israel with bombs after it became clear they weren’t going to stop. Or better yet, go back to 2020 and don’t screw Bernie out of winning the nomination. Selfish prick.

    No. Thanks for your service blah blah blah, but his generation of limp dick, self serving moldy dinner rolls are what got us here in the first place. Take Chuck and Hakeem with you

    Is Biden compromised or something? He doesn’t seem to realize that his name is fucking poison to dems and reps alike. Why is he so intent on fucking us over more? You destroyed us. Fuck off.

    The headline is disingenuously framed. He isn’t saying he’s gearing up for a presidential bid. He’s saying he’ll throw his weight in to build up support for the party. Idk that that’ll do any good, but it isn’t a bad thing for him to do necessarily.

    He’s an established guy who a lot of moderates and libs have historically liked. Plus, I guarantee he knows a lot of big money donors who he might be able to convince to put their money toward a more progressive candidate - that could be useful if he was willing to support a more progressive direction & agenda. Now will he do that or just insist on more of the same bullshit that ran the party into the ground…? Seems like he might not exactly have his finger on the dying pulse of american democracy, so to speak

      Yeah I’m mostly in agreement with everyone that Biden ain’t it, but damn it’s nice to see a past president willing to help.
