      Biden says he’d be okay losing to Trump, ‘as long as I gave it my all’

      Yep.

      https://www.axios.com/2024/07/06/biden-abc-interview-trump-election-peace

      The article has the clip.

      As long as he does the “goodest” job he can, he’s fine with trump winning.

      If you haven’t watched the full interview yet. You really need to

        to be completely fair, it is possible meant “as good of a job as he can”, but this is the kind of mumbling that’s become standard for him

        the bar is just so fucking low, I can’t believe we’re even having to discuss it.

          The issue isn’t how he phrased it.

          The issue is he doesn’t really care if he loses.

          That’s not enough when we’re fighting a fascist take over of our country…

      Genuinely curious how you’re surprised by this

        Why I’m surprised by a candidate saying they’re ok with their felonious opponent winning the election? I’m genuinely curious how you’re genuinely curious that I’m surprised by that.

        I think Biden’s response to the question is being slightly misrepresented, but it’s certainly not the kind of response I’d want to hear, especially as a followup to the debate.

          Biden ran on a platform of working with the fascists I don’t know why you’re surprised he’s good with them in power.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
