Biden said he would be a 1 term president. He lied. Not a huge fan of Newsom but he would've been infinitely better. I have more faith in Bernie who is even older. Or Pete Buttigieg. Or hell even Kamala.
This was pure hubris to run again knowing his own mental state.
he never said he would be a one term president. i wish he did, and i wish he WAS but that isn't a lie. that was from a report quoting unnamed officials. the most you can say is there was talk about the possibility behind closed doors.
you cant call someone a liar for something they never actually promised.
Never said it publicly, but it got out publicly that he said it to the people around him to garner more support for himself last time around, and he never denied that he said it.
I'm sure the staffers/advisers/allies that he told are even more upset now than we are.
i'm saying you can be disappointed that he didn't do it, you can be annoyed that it got out, or even be pissed that he might have used it to his advantage. but with so many actual lies just floating around this campaign, its important to be specific in what is a falsehood and what is something that you heard that was never officially confirmed.

There was a primary but nobody in the democratic party (that is a sane politician anyway) wants to run against their incumbent.
