I was staying out of the topics about how Biden was saying he wasn't going to drop out. Of course he was going to say that, he'd never say anything else until the actual decided moment that he announces he drops out. It was never good proof that he wasn't dropping out.

Imagine feeling the need to make this topic just to rub it in, instead of focusing on literally anything else.

So sad.
Biden bros yesterday: "He's not going to drop out, you're a horrible person and a secret Trump supporter if you're still talking about it"

Biden bros today: "Stop rubbing it in!"

I didn't think it wouldn't happen

I just thought if it did happen, Trump would win.

Now there was an assassination attempt AND Dems themselves + the media have been beating off Biden for weeks on end. Trump is gonna win easily.

It's over

The moment the millionaires refused to donate money. Biden was done.

And a lot of users were adamant that he would. Somebody was going to be right. On Friday when there were reports of his family talking about how he could exit I leaned more towards him dropping out than not, even though that same day his campaign manager went tv saying he wasn't dropping out.

Yeah, that's why I put more stock in the reports of his family discussing an exit, even though that was a lot more secondhand.

Supposedly he didn't change his mind until earlier today. Perhaps it was that Michigan poll or Joe Manchin, who knows.

Could have been a days long discussion, however could have also been the poll. Biden said it would take 1) Him having no chance of winning or 2) a major health risk/challenge to get him to drop. Could have been a bit of both, in addition to people he thought would never ask him to drop out asking him to drop out last week.

This website was a weird bubble about it. But that wasn't the case pretty much anywhere else. I actually think that's interesting from a demographics perspective. Something about this site drew a lot of hardcore Biden supporters compared to Reddit or ResetEra etc. Either way these people are still our allies in stopping Trump. Just because we disagreed about who was best to defeat him, doesn't mean we aren't allies in the end. We were going to vote for Biden and they are (hopefully) going to vote for Harris.

That is what I said in one of the topics back then in fact. Obviously he was going to say that until Biden had 100% decided.

I was pretty confident he was staying until Obama began publicly calling him to step down. Then I thought that if he doesn't step down by this weekend, he's likely staying. I thought time was up, didn't expect the announcement Sunday afternoon.

Pretty much the same, though I was expecting a statement on Monday (also not on Sunday, like you said).

However, he's a devout Catholic and Sunday is "the Lord's Day", so it makes sense for him to make such an important decision in that lens.

I definitely believed Biden staying in was the best thing but at this point I honestly dont know whats better. I do think his dropping out is a concession that hes not up to a job, but rather an acceptance that the constant narrative that he couldnt win was tanking his chances that he would win. If the party had stayed united behind him hed be in a great position right now to win. The party weakened his position and he was enough of a patriot to accept that. We all now need to unify behind the new nominee so that sacrifice was not in vain

At this point im glad im not an american because your country just fucked its self and people who pushed and supported biden dropping out are to blame.

Oh don't worry, you'll be "enjoying it" too since what happens in the U.S. affects pretty much the rest of the world, so you'd better hope this isn't the end of our democracy.
