Are you surprised Joe Biden has ended his presidential campaign?

Question

blueonblack22 · Accepted Answer

If the mass media did their job and exposed Biden’s true mental and physical condition to the public a year ago this entire mess could have been prevented. Biden could have been forced to drop out of the 2024 race earlier and the democrats would have had time to campaign a much more viable candidate.

But as usual the MSM acted as the praetorian guard to the DNC and kept Biden’s deteriorating condition hush hush and mocked any criticism of his senility as “maga propaganda” and “far right smears”. And hordes of democrats drank the kool aide for the longest time. They believed admitting anything is wrong with their candidate means they are “giving in” to Trump or some nonsense. So many leftists believe that “admitting fault = admitting defeat”.

And now the chickens have come home to roost. And democrats and the MSM have no one to blame but themselves. Now they are forced to scramble to campaign Kamala Harris who just as unpopular as Biden (according to approving ratings) when they are 3 months away from general election. She’s not polling well against Trump either. But again Biden announced that he we select a “black woman” as his running mate before he even announced any names back in 2020. Is DEI going to save the day when it comes to the election democrats?

Anyway I hope the left learned a much needed hard lesson with all of this. You can’t just push unpopular/incompetent candidates and expect them to win just because “anything is better than Trump”. 2020 has come and gone on that.

But with all that said with all the insanity going on in politics anything can happen from now and until the election. I feel like I’m watching a drama TV series. Also the RNC has a very stupid habit of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. At least lately they have been more unified and Trump uncharacteristically has been much more disciplined. But still it isn’t over until Lizzo sings.

I voted no and Independent. I'm not a republican so try not to take offence Dems... just my opinion here.

You're party went off the rails in 2016. Look at how fractioned your party is. On the right they have Neo-cons (uni-party) and the America first... maybe some Libertarians that are accepted by the America first... but Jesus butt fucking Christ what is all that shit on the left? You made buddy buddy with a lot of radical shit. Your usual neo-libs (uni-party), and progressives... and then a whole bunch of trash. Your moderates bounced... because it's that trashy.

I love how that party has tried to go from straight up KKK leadership to pretending to fight for racial equality, pushing tranny this and tranny that, and then you still elected an old ass white dude that's done nothing to help your multiple causes... did any of you glance at Joe's history... I don't think even Kamel toe heels up Harris put as many black males in prison... but if you don't vote for him, then you ain't black... okay, sure Jack. I believe that as much as your dealings with Corn Pop.

And I'm not just talking shit here... that party gained all the power and then went full cartoon mode once they got control of the media. They went full retard man... you never go full retard.

No, not one bit! The guy has some form of dementia, and it was clearly elder abuse to keep him out there in the public eye, constantly humiliating himself, with "and aye, err, I, mmm ohhh anyway, you know the thing”! It was so sad to watch.

dustybiker2 · Accepted Answer

I'm surprised someone was able to convince him. I feel bad for the guy. He wanted it. He worked for it. Isn't perfect and in decline. To acknowledge that and give in to peer pressure for the good of others is a profound moment.

AviatorTom · Answer

I'm not surprised, but I'm disappointed in the aftermath. Kamala Harris is now doing a series of online ads proclaiming that "we have to maintain democracy". What kind of democracy is it that all those people had no choice but to vote for Biden in the primaries, and now the candidate is going to be picked by a small handful of Democratic Party power brokers?

bobby_bush_eater · Answer

I voted no, it wasn't that surprising as many expected it and even called this weekend as the date, I'd be lying though if I wasn't a little surprised.

Him dropping out just proves so many lies the Democrats have told about Biden's capabilities and health these years, especially these last months.

They're so terrified of Donald Trump and the right they'll literally use anyone who they think has the clout to "save democracy" when it looks an awful lot like subverting it.

83% of the vote and they turned on him the second they felt he wouldn't win.

Twalli · Answer

I'm glad he did, and he picked a good time to do it. If he did it before the RNC, they'd launch a smear campaign against Kamala Harris during the convention. Now they can only do it during rallies and on commercials.
The fact is that regardless of how you feel about Trump he presents a clear and present danger to the way our country is currently run. So much so that if he wins the 2024 election it may be the last election we have for a long time, if not, ever. In the past, a president who made bad policy decisions would be voted out by the next election and the subsequent presidents could fix it. We see that in businesses. The problem is that Trump and his MAGA mob want to maintain power by any means possible. The new SCOTUS ruling allows him complete autonomy to end all elections.

Kaneki05 · Answer

Nah, it would of been more a surprise if he kept going. I don't believe he's dumb and he knows he's on the decline, and he did plan to be stepping stone in the first place.
It's both he wanted to run but he also knows how to reflect about not just himself but others.

Lliam · Answer

I expected it. (I'm an independent.)

It makes sense that the DNC would wait until now so that they could take the nominating process out of the hands of voters and let delegates decide who to prop up as their presidential nominee. The DNC is nothing if not dishonest. It disdains the electorate.

sawno · Answer

The debate settled his fate so absolutely not. He had no chance of winning the election fairly and would have unleashed a potential civil war if he somehow won anyway. This is a step in the right direction, but for a believable win it can't be kamala either.

hahahmm · Answer

Before he even was elected the doctor who served Obama, Bush & Trump said this guy is mentally incapacitated and shouldn't be president but Democrats chose to ignore that and have a Bernie's Weekend zombie puppet for president. He probably never even made any decisions himself. Reminds me of an old original Star Trek episode where a puppet leader was put on camera and made to speak but really the guy was a brain dead veggie.

KostasKouvalis · Answer

About time! You have to be either be really dumb or your glass must be REALLY full, if you genuinely believed that Biden would make it another 4 more years. I don't think he'll even make it another 4 months. I'm more surprised that they made Kamal the nominee. I thought they'd want to choose someone stronger

DrPepper12 · Answer

Joe couldve beat trump but i understand the age thing. doesn't matter Trump will say Something so outrageous that is racist bigoted and misogynistic because it's now Kamala Harris that he will lose all of the suburban women. You can set your watch to it. OH LOOK! 😳

ChiTown33 · Answer

Very surprised. It's hard just get your party nomination. And generally a party does not throw an incumbent candidate overboard. I truly think that is what happened here. I don't care how they're spinning it. They're giving Biden the dignity to bow out and I think Biden bowed to the pressure of his party (which he didn't have to do, this is his legacy after all).

RedInnocent69 · Answer

Yes, but also relieved. Despite Trump’s blathering bravado, the GOP is shitting themselves at the Democrats new fundraising numbers and polling that shows Kamala now has all the momentum and can actually beat Trump by an even larger margin than Biden won last time. Kamala’s running mate will be critical, but Americans are clearly sick and tired of the two old rambling white guys dynamic.

handsomelad70 · Answer

Not a bit. Mr. Biden's infirmities had become too obvious during his dreadful debate showing, and he'd have been bopped by Mr. Trump had he attempted to run against him in November. Bravo, Mr. President !!!

MisterWack · Answer

I was a one time only Trump Supporter, I was a one time only Biden Supporter and now I announce I am a Kamala Harris Supporter today!

I stand by Joe Biden’s VP Pick and stand with her in this important election. She has my vote all the way.

JohnK123 · Answer

Not really. He was older and why lose an election when u can leave on a high note? People who don’t understand the DNC rules will be mad that he was “nominated” and “endorsed” but the DNC could’ve said no the delegates aren’t voting for Biden at the convention. But instead Biden already said he won’t be in the running. Go look at the rules if ur mad

nawtee_me · Answer

First off why did Joe Biden want to beat Trump and be the next president? Was it because he cares about the United States? No it was not! It was to ensure Presidential Immunity for himself and be able to grant a presidential pardon for Hunter Biden. His terms must have been met for him to step aside. I think there should be a competency hearing now….

Violetcity · Answer

Kinda thought he'd keel over before retiring, but I can't say I'm surprised either way. I certainly did not expect him to finish a second term of he was elected, whether that be due to retirement or failing health.

askthis56 · Answer

Despite of being not American I am not surprised that Biden has ended the presidential campaign due to he is an elderly person and he didn't know how to manage the country. He did what is right for him. He responded the calls and he did the right thing. It was supposed to be this way so... The compititon is gonna get intese an we will see what is gonna happen.

ManInChains · Answer

Not surprised. The democrats wanted a woman. Unfortunately for them a woman can’t win the presidency. The American people don’t want a Marxist feminist matriarch telling them how to live their lives.

CassandraSpender · Answer

He said at the beginning of his presidency he would be a 1 term president

JonCobretti · Answer

Not surprised , democrats were ganging up on him to quit  Democrats made the nominee that the people selected to quit , that does not sound like Democracy at all

bolverk · Answer

I very much doubt that Biden was engaged in his removal as the Democrat Candidate for the next Presidential Election. I have a feeling it was totally decided by the DNC and the Democrat Congressional/Senate Leadership.

TheSpaceGnome · Answer

No, nor does it matter because whoever gets "elected" is picked and controlled by bankers and is just a show puppet for the public. Nothings going to change or stay the same that wouldn't have done so anyway regardless of who's in office.

Still-alive · Answer

I legitmately am. but i welcome Kamala Harris! it's time!

Belgie · Answer

I thought his ego would never let him stand down. Good riddance to the pudding brained zionist war monger.

loveslongnails · Answer

Not surprised. Now 1/2 the problem is fixed. All we need is the other demented, traitorous, rapist felon with early onset dementia to quit so we can avoid becoming a fascist nation.

TheRealPepperPotts · Answer

Yes and no. Yes because it's unprecedented, and no because of his condition.

ChefPapiChulo · Answer

Probably a good thing that he did. I haven't been able to watch him speak since he became president because my brain can't handle the stupid shit he says.

He's simply too old. What's crazy is that's somehow still better than Trump (who is also too old).

Ladsin2 · Answer

You stole my question almost verbatim…

I’m libertarian-ish and am surprised. I saw no benefit for Biden the ersonally dropping out, and no proposed Democrat candidate seems to be polling significantly better.

katiesmuff · Answer

No I wasn't surprised as his money was drying up at a fast pace.

sdjaks · Answer

Not surprised. He is too old and I have heard he may have dementia.

SeriouslyNotSerious · Answer

Yes, but good move on his part. And the news just went all over the world.

Dongie · Answer

Non American American. He didn't. They told him to. The ones that have been telling him what to say and do.  The ones that set covid free so they could steal the vote.

Likes2drive · Answer

Not really but he did it so late that he pretty much made it hard any of them to have a chance but it won’t matter anyway because I’m pretty sure Trump will win regardless

Danny_dan92 · Answer

Nope. Dude was slowly dying 2 years ago. But the mainstream media turned a blind eye and pretended that wasn’t the case

Jersey2 · Answer

He was forced out. He was given an ultimatum and a deal to walk from Obama. Bad things are in our future.

Quigly · Answer

The Democrats behavior is always shocking, not surprised. Nobody in their right mind can say they support democracy and vote for a party that doesn't ever follow the process.

paledreams · Answer

Yes as a non American and a leftie, I'm surprised he quit

normalice · Answer

A little. Kind of leaves Trump out of options, though. He'll basically need to tell RFK to endorse him now instead of waiting until October as the headlines will otherwise be back to leaving Trump out for a few weeks.

It would be funny if Kamala made a big show of asking RFK to be her VP to see how he would refuse, as that would bring the margin he worked so hard to gather away from Trump instead away from Democrats.

OtterMan68 · Answer

He tired to be Cato the Younger, but in the end, he did the right thing and went Cincinattus.

In_Trance · Answer

American politics are a complete shit show

OhLongJohnsoning · Answer

I think he succumbed to pressure. Which isn't cool. It shows weakness. Trump didn't. But, he should have

A_Wild_Redhead · Answer

No, just hope he's fine or that his departure was quick.

animesenpai · Answer

I think they finally showed him the numbers and had a no lube conversation

shortster · Answer

I thought he would resign from office before resign from the campaign.

LiamJHayden · Answer

A bit because of how late in the cycle it is. I am guessing that the internal polling showed a hopeless battle and he did not want to go out like that.

Trevor611 · Answer

No this was planned all along. He was used for his name, he was never running shit anyways

Guanfei · Answer

I'm surprised anyone think he decided anything, since the guy obviously can't even remove his pants without help.
