    By being old? It’s the DNC’S fault for dragging him out of retirement so they could be rid of their Bernie Boogieman.

      No, age had nothing to do with it.

      He appointed the most feckless REPUBLICAN Attorney General to investigate and prosecute the most corrupt administration in history, and the guy dithered and slow walked the case, giving MAGA a two year head start in running out the clock. Biden never once put any pressure on to get it done because they didn’t want it to look political. How about just worrying about punishing them for their crimes? There’s nothing political about that.

      Then he let MAGA steal the 2024 election right in front of our faces, and did NOTHING about it. As they are all BRAGGING about how they’re going to steal the election, Biden didn’t order an investigation, have the FBI drag them in for questioning, or shine even a dim light on their obvious and open cheating.

      Biden would have been well within his legal and Constitutional rights to step off the podium after his Inauguration, and immediately called for all the MAGA criminals to be rounded up and sent to Guantanamo before nightfall, for extensive innterogation. They had just attempted to overthrow the government a couple of weeks before, and their treason and corruption was well-documented. We still didn’t even know about the stolen documents yet, or the False Elector’s scheme.

      Instead of keeping them in prison, where they could only confer with their defense lawyers, they let them run loose, where they conferred with the worst people in the world, and conspired to steal power back in the 2024 election.

      It was all out in the open, and they basically narrated the entire scheme, and BIDEN didn’t do a single thing about it. Didn’t even acknowledge it, and neither did the rest of the DNC.

      2020-2024 was a shameful, piss-poor performance for Biden and the DNC, and it’s absolutely SILLY to try and defend it.

      I don’t think they dragged him out. But they did get the rest of the field to drop out so he would get the moderate votes. Before he dropped Bernie was winning because the moderates were fractured. Things seem to be changing and voters seem to be leaning progressive finally.
