    Could be that he’s trying to save America from falling into the hands of a fascist traitor to his country.

    He sad before that he wasn’t planning on running again unless it’s to keep Trump from taking over.

    Now that that Trump is trying to take over- it’s his duty to protect America. And so he’s running. I know this upsets the bots and MAGA trolls, but that’s where we are now.

      If he was trying to save American democracy he’d step down, this is about his bloated sense of self importance.

      He’s going to lose if he runs. He’s the single worst option for Democrats.

        ROFL… you seem quite certain of this. Care to share what you know that the rest of us don’t?

          No, the rest of us know, you don’t know because you haven’t been paying attention. Polling shows Biden losing by almost 10 points. Even Kamala Harris has better numbers.

          So if you actually wanted the best chance, you’d be wanting him to step down. But I’m guessing you don’t.

            Polls…. ROFL. The person that is suggesting someone that’s not even running to be the one to defeat Trump…. believes in polls.

            How fitting.

            Who says I’m wrong? Your fellow bots? I’m certain they don’t count for anything. And speaking of being wrong….

            How about we compare mod logs to see who’s had posts removed for misinformation and trolling, shall we? I’m putting my money on you winning that one.

            So… I ask you:

            How it feel to be wrong, tto have been wrong the entire time, and have every body know it but you knowing it?

                I absolutely know this. Which is why I don’t accuse everyone that disagrees with me. But if you’re trying to say that there aren’t bad actors among the far left (like the one was responding to) then you’re either blind, or one of them.

              Its about how well your world view predicts the future.

              Yours doesn’t.

              Realistically, you are the one whose been putting out the misinformation and has been trolling; its what history will show and how this will all shake out.

              You are in the wrong; they are in the wrong.

                And someone who’s constantly having comments removed and banned is the voice of reason here?

                Everyone knows what you’re up to. You’re not fooling anyone.

              There it is.

              The automatic assumption anyone disagreeing with you is a bot.

              That last desperate cry of the boomer.

                There it is.

                The automatic assumption that some equals all.

                The annoyingly frequent desperate cry of the uninformed and easily manipulated.

      No, that’s a blatantly selfish and ego driven motivation. “I’m too important to waste my time on the presidency unless I get to be seen as some kinda savior.”

      But he really has absolutely no chance of being remembered that way. Even if he wins. Especially if he wins. He has allowed pride to rob him of any chance of having a legacy with remembering. Ironic I think…

        Maybe it’s that he knows he can win. It’s called confidence. I get that everyone wants the democratic vote divided, but some of us just want to keep Trump from winning.

        When a disease is killing its host within a few months, you don’t spend years trying to cure the disease, you try and buy time by treating the damage so as to keep the just alive while working on a cure.

        This is something that shouldn’t need to be explained.
