Comedian Jon Stewart took aim at President Biden’s team for its “bulls‑‑‑” spin on the president’s poor debate performance last month, as calls for him to withdraw from the race continue to m…
He also played a clip from Biden’s interview with ABC News, when the president was asked how he would feel if Trump won the election.
"I’ll feel, as long as I gave it my all and I did the good as job as I know I can do, that’s what this is about,” Biden said in the interview last week.
Stewart raised his voice and pushed back on that comment.
"That’s not what this is about! There are no participation trophies in endgame democracy. Oh yeah, I remember FDR saying, ‘Well, if the Nazis take over Europe, at least both teams had fun,’” he added.
Yup! That quote from Biden is absolutely fucking unacceptable. If you are unable to guarantee a success then get the fuck out of the way and lets find someone (not Harris) that can.
Think you’re right, she’d do well against him. I just don’t like her. Some of her news bits had me thinking: Trump for Democrats
Her whole career has been Fighting Against the People. If she’d fight billionaires and corporations like she took down stoners, I might think differently about her.
It sort of has to be Harris because the moneys on her, literally. The Biden Harris campaign currently holds hundreds of millions in campaign donations, if Harris becomes the nominee she can use that money pretty easily, but if someone else takes over transferring that money becomes way more complex if it’s even possible.
The only solution I’ve heard to that problem is refunding them all with instructions to donate to the new person. That seems like it will produce some dollars for the new candidate, but way less than what is refunded.
This is what I’ve been fuckin’ saying since the interview!! Jesus, it’s nice to finally hear a public figure precisely articulate a serious concern I have.
It reminds me of political posturing on other issues, like everyone says they believe the climate scientists but they sure as fuck ain’t acting like it.
Here too it really seems like those sounding the alarm aren’t alarmists at all. Trump is a fascist. But everyone’s still pretending like it’s completely fine to lose to him.

What if it is Harris?
We may not like it, but Harris has a better chance of winning against Trump.
I, for one, like it. I think she would do a better job than Lemmy thinks she will. I would love to see her debate Trump.

There’s no point in anyone debating someone who just blatantly lies continuously.
It was stupid of Biden to do it and it would be stupid of anyone, even Michelle Obama to bother letting him spout his bullshit like he did.
The only possible exception is someone like Gavin Newsom or AOC. Someone who could bring the zingers for his bullshit.
I listened to Newsom on Fox. I would pay high dollars to watch that debate. Or Katie Porter.
If she wins - good for her - if she loses, let it end her political career forever because she contributed to ending democracy.
Its not. People hate her

Correction, Biden legit said “goodest job”, and if my soul was still functional I would have fell out of my chair when I heard it.
I definitely hear “goodest” and had no idea what “godd as” was, but was just leaving quotes as is.
On Colbert’s monologue he said that Biden’s campaign insisted on the Times changing it to “good as” for some reason
