It’s easy to cast blame. It seems you are attempting to garner attention for yourself and your own media company. No, we all failed, but especially the mainstream media failed.
He should never have been the candidate (same is true for Rodham-Clinton)... Sanders should have endorsed Warren, she would (I think) have walked it...
Joe Biden could not defeat the deeply embedded racism and sexism running through the veins of this country’s largest voting bloc! No amount of positive economic policies have moved this group to the Democratic column since 1964! The passage of the Civil Rights Act. Not once. Think about that.
And YOU take joy in that.
Tell the truth.
All you really care about is Gaza.
You and your crowd need another good dose of trump. You'll cry before this term is over.
What could Biden have done? He has no power over the judiciary. Should he have had Trump imprisoned via executive order? The press is lunatic when it thinks so naively. The only people to blame for Trump's re-election are the Democrats who betrayed Harris & Waltz and the voters in the swing statesl
I did that. And I have come to the conclusion that Biden is not to blame for Trump's re-election. He made good policy, he made up for Trump's mistakes as best he could, like rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement. Biden is not to blame.
Neither did I. But millions of eligible voters sat this one out. They fundamentally misunderstood what caused the inflation and they blamed incumbent politicians for a global phenomenon that hurt them in real terms.
I tend to agree. Biden did a lot of good things but the most critical reasons he got elected - to defeat Trump and manage the pandemic - he really didn’t do at all. He just gave up on Covid cowing to business donors and his AG was useless. He never pressed Congress to disqualify Trump
No, the media failed. Biden did a good job. The ppl failed. The voters fcked everyone over. We had a job and we didn't do it. No amount of bullshit from a compromised, rather shitty media will change how badly the media and the voters failed this time.
It feels a little like elderly abuse. everyone around Biden had a sweet deal and they didn't want it to end. it was easy for them to manipulate a vain old man "You did a great job. You got every answer right."
I live in Australia and I think Biden did a great job but Americans didn’t seem to see it, likely due to your media reporting the same Trump nonsense ad-nausea. Further, the moment Biden stepped away from re-election, his age issues seemed to disappear. IMO, he did American’s well, until the end.
Medhi is 💯correct. I'm sick of "kumbaya Dems" telling me to "resist", "prepare for midterms", "praise be to Dark Joe".
Felon47 & his congressional minions should have been prosecuted for J6 quickly & thoroughly. He had 1 job- protect us. He failed.
Also, Biden should have told the DNC that he would participate in a primary & a convention, like he wasn't the incumbent.Let the voters decide on best candidate.
His arrogance got in the way. Now folks want to blame voters?? BIDEN HELD THE POWER TO STOP THIS MADNESS.
Biden’s appointment of Merrick Garland as Attorney General and his failure step away to allow for full democratic primaries were undeniably strategic failures given the benefit of 20/20 hindsight. God help us!
Most of the mainstream media has been complicit. They have been overly critical of Biden while letting Trump get away with outrageous lies. No wonder low-information voters chose Trump. Spend one day immersed in the right-wing media ecosystem and you'll see why Harris had an almost impossible job.
Mehdi is correct to an extent. It doesn’t take a genius to know that our political system - from the Senate, to SCOTUS, to gerrymandering, etc - is extremely un-democratic, and if Biden really wanted to protect democracy, he would have at least pushed to fix structural issues as well.
Playing hardball would have accomplished little in a divided government. Biden achieved a great deal for American workers, seniors and veterans. History will be kind to Joe Biden for his hard work to achieve bipartisan legislation to restore the health of the nation and the economy.
Hey MEDIA and News Papers:You Suck!!! You didn’t do the American People right 😱😱. MEDIA, Newspapers and Social Media screwed Democracy; All for Profit, Power and dumbing down America!
Such a thoughtless and narrow sighted article written by Mehdi. But you succeeded in gaining people's attention without providing any value to this discussion.
The media made sure DJT was in the news daily and did not help spread the good Biden did. Media was more the problem than anything else. Yes, there were mistakes, but blame that on Garland.
don't agree. Joe Biden's job was serving US and improving the life of working class americans instead of greedy ultra rich. His job wasn't to defeat #vptrump.
#vptrump won due ignorant, uneducated rednecks mostly from rural america and feed themselves of lies from X, newsmax, fox news and others.
We failed as a country. The most people at fault this time aren't Biden or Elizabeth Harris. It's the voters who chose him, eyes wide open to his criminality and incompetence. This is what American is now.

We all saw it unfold on TV and Trump urging it on.
Shocking how easy Fascism takes over.
Oh yeah and some Laboratory claims that Trump isn't fascist.
Let's have a closer look at that huh!?
Tell the truth.

Other than Gaza, Biden did his job surprisingly well. Let's not lose perspective on what went wrong in 2024.
Felon47 & his congressional minions should have been prosecuted for J6 quickly & thoroughly. He had 1 job- protect us. He failed.

Biden should always have been only a one term president
the old gray boomers fell back into their old disappointing ways and
Tried to shame compliance from a racist criminal enterprise

It was obvious he was only a single term candidate.
The Democrats messed up.
