When Biden was elected I kept saying they must have a plan to get someone ready to be the next candidate because obviously he’ll be far too old next time. I thought at first they planned it to be Kamala but you could see they weren’t pushing her forward in that capacity. Then as time was going by I kept thinking how come they aren’t obviously grooming a particular person for candidate? Then they started saying he’s going to be THE candidate for the next election and there won’t be primaries and I was horrified. They are the most incompetent major political party I have ever seen!
From the cheap seats, we just see the Muppets on stage. When you sit closer, you can see the strings. Sit close enough, you can tell the muppeteers how to make the Muppets dance. The point is the money, now. But the muppeteers forgot they had to be discreet. They only saw the money, they forgot we were following the plot of The Muppets Take DC and not just swept on the flow of donations.
His decline was obvious even during the 2020 primaries. I think it was one reason he was trailing almost all the other candidates until most dropped out and endorsed Biden due to behind-the-scenes maneuvers before the SC primary. Watch how he performed during the 2016 and 2020 campaign seasons. The differences are very stark in the timbre of his voice, talking speed, how he moved his head around to focus on different people, how quickly he responded in back-and-forth exchanges with other candidates, etc.
The DNC never should have pushed Bernie Sanders out; that was the first huge mistake. The Biden administration did some great work; however, the Democrats lost the younger voters because they told them they wanted Bernie and they blew them off like the younger voters blew off Democrats in November...I suspect Gaza wouldn't have become a pile of rubble and all those Palestinians wouldn't have died in such enormous numbers... Bernie would have cut military aid to Israel... Thank you both very much 💙💙👍👍💙💙🎉🎉
i agree to an extent, but sanders has repeatedly made statements to the effect that the israel-palestine conflict started on 7th october 2023, which is clearly incorrect.
I think you overestimate the sincerity of Bernie. During the presidential campaign he never talked about populist issues, never raised concerns about Dems wrapping themselves around the Cheneys etc. After the election- all of a sudden he's raising all sorts of issues that he thinks Dems are not addressing. Bernie and AOC are just tools deployed whenever the establishment Dems want to tamp down leftwing anger.
Plus our US rich donors have always loved weak presidents. Look at the atrocious ones we had during the Gilded Age. Wilson’s wife ran the country for a few years while he was in bed recovering from a stroke. The Dems are not a serious party. They are a fundraising/job placement group for liberal political operatives. We aren’t organized enough for a third party yet but we have to coordinate resources/volunteers across parties to support left worker focused small donor candidates at all levels of government. And we need to coordinate more internationally with other worker parties. John McDonnell has done some of this and more folks need to know about it.

Agreed. Trump is dumber than dogshit, incontinent, AND A HALF-STEP BEHIND BIDEN COGNITIVELY, so this ain't going to be pretty. We need age limits on politicos: 65 or less to stand for Congress/Presidency, and term limits on Supreme Court justices (say 10 years).

Towards the end of the Reagan Administration, aides were crafting written briefs to be very short as Reagan was known to have a damaged attention span and memory due to Alzheimers. We in the US knew nothing of this until he left office.
I remember when the American media banged on incessantly about former General Secretary of the communist party (USSR) Leonid Brezhnev. They got vicarious pleasure out of mocking him for his obvious cognitive problems, from the late 70s onwards. A mere eight years after he died, the Soviet Union collapsed.
A fine display of what is wrong with extreme loyalty to one man. What kept him going was the fairly good quality of his administration that actually did the real work.
Do we think it's impossible that, given Novara bods are appearing on BBCQT and other mainstream platforms and mixing in the select circles, there is not a single important fact of public interest that they are otherwise choosing not to divulge?
Ii is mind boggling. Dems need to reform the party including nomination process or their voters will sit at home as they did. Absolute majority of Dem voters did not want Biden to run for 2nd term right from the beginning of his 1st term. It took a lot of effort for me to go to the polls after Dem establishment screwed elections that we could have won had we gone through the nomination process and selected a strong candidate. For now, establishment is behaving like business as usual getting entangled with Trump until they will be surprised in the next election. They need to look inward. That is where the problem is.
The Republican establishment stopped trying to stop Trump very quickly back in 2015/16. Hr is a product of the core that part. Everything about the democrats and everything else in this video, fully agree.
I really blame Jill Biden. She was close enough to see all this unfolding and close enough to him to change his mind. Her cringey performance after that debate was so embarrassing and very revealing about her need to stay in as first lady. Thanks Jill for giving us Trump!
The Republcans could have stopped Trump by introducing ethical standards that their candidates are expected to adhere to. The basic standards that exist in most political partys.
It's not just the Democratic Party, not by a long shot. It's the BBC, comedians, satirists the whole lot, completely silent. What is your own record on this?
Is this really a surprise? Also, its obvious looking at and listening to Trump he is also going the same way...But officially of course this will be denied!
Trump(inexperienced), GW Bush(moron), Biden(dementia). The US President's job seems impossible to do - making decisions on behalf of 330M people. Is being President easier than it looks?
Anyone paying attention knew this when he ran in 2020. But the donors could risk Bernie Sanders getting Medicare for All. There was too much profit to be made in our wealth care system

every decision should be reviewed if not reversed
@@nandin8425 No, he would have to be removed officially first
Towards the end of the Reagan Administration, aides were crafting written briefs to be very short as Reagan was known to have a damaged attention span and memory due to Alzheimers. We in the US knew nothing of this until he left office.
Well, it isn't the first time, sadly. Nancy Regan ran the Presidency when Ron Regan had alzheimer's.
I remember when the American media banged on incessantly about former General Secretary of the communist party (USSR) Leonid Brezhnev. They got vicarious pleasure out of mocking him for his obvious cognitive problems, from the late 70s onwards. A mere eight years after he died, the Soviet Union collapsed.
Someone please make 'Weekend at Bidens' into a movie
A fine display of what is wrong with extreme loyalty to one man. What kept him going was the fairly good quality of his administration that actually did the real work.
Ngl I saw the thumbnail and thought that this video would be a trailer for a Gran Torino sequel
Do we think it's impossible that, given Novara bods are appearing on BBCQT and other mainstream platforms and mixing in the select circles, there is not a single important fact of public interest that they are otherwise choosing not to divulge?
Kat Williams; "ALL TRUTH WILL BE REVEALED, that's ALL"
Such a huge strategic misstep. Really damaging to the party's credibility that will last.
Why are you so gleeful, Michael?
From what I’ve seen a diminished Biden is a lot better than Trump
*Than
Wrong.
@@alexwhitby9435 thank you Alex. I shall correct it now than I know!
Ii is mind boggling. Dems need to reform the party including nomination process or their voters will sit at home as they did. Absolute majority of Dem voters did not want Biden to run for 2nd term right from the beginning of his 1st term. It took a lot of effort for me to go to the polls after Dem establishment screwed elections that we could have won had we gone through the nomination process and selected a strong candidate. For now, establishment is behaving like business as usual getting entangled with Trump until they will be surprised in the next election. They need to look inward. That is where the problem is.
The Republican establishment stopped trying to stop Trump very quickly back in 2015/16. Hr is a product of the core that part. Everything about the democrats and everything else in this video, fully agree.
I really blame Jill Biden. She was close enough to see all this unfolding and close enough to him to change his mind.
Her cringey performance after that debate was so embarrassing and very revealing about her need to stay in as first lady.
Thanks Jill for giving us Trump!
Take this seriously, Michael, this is not a laughing matter.
There is an amount of humour in all this but is this not what gave unhinged warmongerers like Blinken the space to operate.
Hey gang ! At least the next guy's gonna be on top of .,.oh, shit.
Ty 😆
The Republcans could have stopped Trump by introducing ethical standards that their candidates are expected to adhere to.
The basic standards that exist in most political partys.
Joe Biden is living inside the pages of a glossy Batman magazine. 😂
Something for you guys to discuss with your mates on GB News
It's not just the Democratic Party, not by a long shot. It's the BBC, comedians, satirists the whole lot, completely silent. What is your own record on this?
Trump never has a good day though. He calls it "the weave", normal people call it cognitive loss of control.
The gerontocratic ploutocratic Empire on its final stage before the final closure, lets have fun watching the Fall
And yet he was defended constantly by the media.
Is this really a surprise? Also, its obvious looking at and listening to Trump he is also going the same way...But officially of course this will be denied!
Excellent commentary that many in my nation are fearful to admit
I’m sorry but this isn’t protection, it’s abuse :(
I said during the primaries that he wasn't mentally fit! Unlike Bernie!!
"The Democrats should NEVER send a President to the White House again. Never!"
Strange days.
Warum ist ein Baby kindermörder nicht im Gefängnis????
Trump, brought to us by the DNC & Jill Biden. Both could have stopped this.
How do republicans protect their candidate?
Trump(inexperienced), GW Bush(moron), Biden(dementia). The US President's job seems impossible to do - making decisions on behalf of 330M people. Is being President easier than it looks?
I wanna see that movie!
Can't believe that they allowed that.everyone didn't care about him but instead they had someone pulling the strings and running the country?
That’s why I left the Dems. First time in my life. Idk what side to vote on, but I couldn’t stay.
I voted for Jill Stein.
Our
World
Now
Bernie should have been President. The worst thing is that they were happy for Biden to run again.
All of these claims could equally be applied to Trump.
This is gonna be Trump too in 2026, listen to the man now and compare hik to how he was in 2016. Absolute gerontocracy.
And they just elected the next geriatocrat.
