In reply to the discussion: Kamala being interviewed by Jimmy Kimmel tonight is enlightening but also frustrating [View all]mr715
(2,587 posts)87. I'm fairly sure I remember a debate
where Biden said he'd have a black woman VP, but I cannot source it so I will assume the appropriate logical position since I am making the extraordinary claim.
Still, though, I am troubled that some are more concerned about Biden than they are themselves.
Biden, had resigned from office or decided not to run after the midterms, would be a lion of the party. No loss for him, just adulation and love. Can go to all the same parties, get treated as a party elder.
Instead he went out with a whimper, clinging with his nails to the office in a way that made it questionable whether humble ol' uncle Joe was ever all that humble to begin with.

Might have been better for Harris to wait awhile, but I can see her being "ungrateful." It was just a bad situation

He definitely alluded in the 2020 campaign to being a transitional POTUS.

For about the fiftieth time, Biden NEVER 'promised' to be a one-term president!

Biden's goal was to fight fascism? This is more revisionist than factual.

Don't you think that any good president should have that goal, if faced with the threat of a Trump-like creature?

The OP claims failure because BIDEN didn't stop fascism. Neither did his predecessors.

Biden was the president who lost to a fascist, a fascist who is destroying the America we knew.

And by stating in advance, that "he would only select a Black woman as VP," he reduced her to it.

Your original point is still relevant. It was used against Kamala by MAGA, with Trump calling her a "DEI hire."

But you backed the allegation that he did pledge to pick a black female VP.

When Obama picked Biden as VP, you believe it was a political graveyard appointment?

He completely screwed us in respect to the 2024 election. Love this line in your post:

I now sometimes think Biden's victory in 2020 was a case of "Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it"

Kamala was misplaced as VP. Her background is that of a litigator. She should have been U.S. Attorney General...

the statement concerning the 'hands off stance' is just fundamentally factual

Harris is correct: Justice dept. should be independent, no political or personal influence.

Don't worry. Biden will be okay. He's much better off than the most of us under Trump.
