President Joe Biden
Right now, we need VP Biden, we need him to step down and drop out so Bernie sanders can save this country from this global crisis just like FDR.
A thread to debate the efficacy of a Joe Biden Presidency in the midst of a global pandemic and impending Great Recession/Depression.
Where is Joe Biden? Can he beat Trump and is he even trying to? What would a Joe Biden Presidency look like in these times? Where is he and why isn't he leading?

Covid passes through zoom calls now?
I don't think anyone smart enough to make a comprehensible post actually believes it. He just wants excuses to support a hateful candidate without admitting that he is hateful (or greedy enough that he can overlook hateful rhetoric).
But it would not be unconstitutional to decline immediately announcing it on mass media.
But you don't mind that he's a crook who promised to release them 9 years ago.
1) I think he released them
2) why do you say I don't mind that he's a crook?
so you think that they could swear in the vp but do it secretly?
in fact, before hitting post i googled it
turns out there is no disclosure requirement, you are right

Are you serious? Please link to the tax returns.
Or are the tax returns in the room with us right now?
He finally released the returns from when he was in office. Those are not the ones he promised to release while he was running for president the first time.
Because that's really the only reason he hasn't released those returns, he is well known for having been a crooked businessman, and he was just convicted of cooking the books.
Not as far as I know. Were you expecting a call from him?
I get that. I'm not sure why you say I don't mind. I stated before it would be good if he released his tax returns.
Yes for a momentous event it's generally better to be done in person or in video at least, rather than from a Twitter account that one doesn't even control themselves.
You apparently don't mind enough for him to lose your support.
Correct, because I minded the Biden/Warren bs much more. Remains to be seen what Kamala will offer up. I've posted positively about her a few times in the Kamala thread.
I asked if you were expecting a call.
I'm going to go out on a limb and speculate that he has been in contact with some other people over those 5 days. People with whom contact is necessary for presidential duties to be done.
When the president is sick, he should be concentrating on doing actual presidential duties, along with getting medical care. That is why he did the right thing by suspending campaigning (even before ending his campaign). I don't expect him to be wasting energy checking in every day so that people who hate him can be sure he's still alive to kick around.
Trump's tax returns from 2015-2020 were released in 2022 by Congress. See this article for details
However it is typical for Presidents to release more than one year of their tax returns prior to elections and Trump did not do that nor did Congress. Similarly there is a 0% chance that Trump will release post 2020 tax returns.
The following quote comes from a fact ch...:
"Some candidates have released returns for considerably more years than others: Republicans Mitt Romney and John McCain released two years of returns, while other nominees have released at least five. Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton released returns for eight years.
But Trump has released none, even after he was inaugurated."
Warren? I guess you mean Senator Warren but not sure since she has nothing to do with the Biden campaign or administration. I have barely heard her name mentioned in the last 10 years, but I can't think of what other Warren you could mean.
The dude a few days prior said he was in it for the long haul and going to run.
Seems like a common courtesy if you're going change that decision that he repeatedly said for the past few months to at least drop a video rather than a tweet from someone else.
Yes her. She runs his economic policy.
You think a Senator and not say.......someone in the Biden administration is running the Biden administration's economic policy? Interesting theory professor.
The Ghost of Corn Pop is the only answer.
It wouldn't surprise me if an 80 year old semi-comatose Biden could still beat the dogshit out of your dainty keyboard warrior ass.
Lol so you finally admit he's basically a vegetable in charge of running the country. Where were you since 2020? Btw I can do 50 pushups in a row. Do 100 daily but would never try to boast about it like Biden with his pushup challenge to a voter. I think I'm good vs Biden but wouldn't boast about that at a man of his age. Not sure I could take down Corn Pop though. He was a bad dude.
You seem a tad angry and I deem we're not gonna be friends. Kamala is up. Shouldn't all be good now for you?

This article is 3 years old but we've seen it play out. She has her hooves in everything. I think Kamala will tread away from her.
Not angry in the slightest. It amuses me that you think a random poster on the internet, let alone a poster of your caliber, has the ability to affect my emotional state.
