‘Decency and dignity’: Multiple carefully crafted Biden narratives fall apart as 2024 race heats up

[Social Media]

After winning 2020 election, Biden said it was 'time to put away the harsh rhetoric,' 'lower the temperature'

 

Candidate Joe Biden in 2020 sold himself to the fatigued American public as an empathetic, ice-cream-loving grandpa who was going to usher decency and expertise into the White House. But those carefully crafted narratives that helped propel him to the Oval Office are crumbling as the country barrels toward the 2024 election in a time of economic and global instability.

On the 2020 campaign trail, Biden and the media consistently billed him as the candidate to unify the country after four years under former President Donald Trump, who critics blasted as "divisive." After his election win, Biden declared in a speech that it is "time to put away the harsh rhetoric, lower the temperature, see each other again, listen to each other again."

Biden took it one step further after he took office, threatening to fire anyone who didn’t share his views on decency and respect, telling nearly a thousand federal appointees and staff, "I'm not joking when I say this: If you're ever working with me and I hear you treat another with disrespect, talk down to someone, I promise you I will fire you on the spot."

But Biden’s inconsistency between his actions and his words are coming more to the forefront ahead of what is expected to be an explosive 2024 presidential election.

The image of grandfatherly Joe is fading fast. He is a crotchety, prickly, grumpy, and elitist old man. "Lunchbucket Joe" is too snooty to recognize his grand-daughter because her mother is a dancer. He was a mediocre senator (to be charitable) and his tour as VP was supposed to be the end of his time sticking his snout into the public trough. Far past his sell by date, as others have said some new blood would be welcome.

I don't see old joe lasting much longer as pres. And positively can't see him being the dem candidate. His trip to the UK was pretty funny as King Charles tried to navigate joe around and make his stop talking to the guards. He's good for a laugh.

Same thing in Lithuania. He was being shepherded around by the Lithuanian president, told where to sit, etc. Plus saying stuff like;

 

“It didn’t take us long to get thousands of troops here when Russia invaded the second time. We’ll be assured that you’re gonna have all that you need. We have the secretary of defense here today. We can send him along.”

[brucegoniners]

I'll be more kind this time. Who at this publication is running the hit jobs on Biden? We all know Faux News isn't news at all.

Over here on the right we only like careless and sloppily written narratives.

Ping me when Joe Biden starts scapegoating minorities and mocking the afflicted.

LIES, and more lies. Joe Biden turns out to be a great man and the President the United States needed and needs.

Ok just where are these posters getting the blue pills?

As soon as I see that NOT-news tag, I stop reading, including the comments. The same sh!t from the same people. We've lost the ability for cogent debate, it merely devolves into a mud-slinging contest from both sides.

Biden is a man who has the skillset America desperately needed. These folk will never learn how to be a human being ever again. Fox supporters rhetoric here is a sickness he personally was responsible for.

As soon as Joe Biden agrees to a cogent debate with his rivals, let me know.  I think I will be waiting a long time though...

I'm not an American citizen so I'm neither a Democrat or a Republican, but I do favour the Democrats because the other bunch seem to have a lot of nut jobs in their midst.

 

And I include the recently ousted POTUS in amongst my definition above. However although I believe that Biden is doing a very good job in the US, I do believe it's time for him to realise that is probably too old for the job, and the sight of him traipsing round the Royal Guard with King Charles, looking a bit like an old man who was lost, did him no favours in my opinion.

 

In addition, I've always been in favour of "prompt cards" for people who are presenting to the media or other audiences, as I have used them myself when doing exactly that, but to see that Joe had those in his hands when talking to King Charles, ostensibly as a prompt to know where he was and what to say/ask, was disheartening to say the least.

 

I don't know what kind of POTUS Kamala Harris would make, but the Democrats should be willing to give her a chance, after all that's what she's there for.

Not complicated situation. Biden will win against Trump. After that we have no more threat from Trump. Why risk putting someone else in the election process when after this Trump loss America will chose wisely.

Because it is anti Democratic to put a candidate forward that is unable or does not intend to fulfill the role of POTUS for the full term if elected.

No mind reading is required if you can read English.

...meaning put Biden in to beat Trump and then appoint someone who can actually do the job. Undemocratic for the reasons I stated.

 

Hope that made it easier for you to keep up.

So you're claiming you know for a fact that Biden won't be able to complete his term and there's a plan to replace him with someone else? Do you have a crystal ball and some sort of spy surveillance device that allows you to listen in on the machinations of certain unnamed parties who are in control of Joe Biden? Or are you just reading the minds of these sinister characters?

Ummm, No. I was stating that EarlinCalifornia's suggestion is undemocratic.

Where exactly did Earlincalifornia claim that the plan was for Biden to run for a second term and then resign from the Presidency. Here is earlincalifornia's comment in full:

"Not complicated situation. Biden will win against Trump. After that we have no more threat from Trump. Why risk putting someone else in the election process when after this Trump loss America will chose wisely."

All earlincalifornia claimed was that Biden would be a strong opponent aganst Trump. The rest is just your imagination. It's like that old saying, ask a hungry man how much is 1 +1 and he'll answer 2 loaves of bread.

He didn't claim there was a plan do so.

 

Neither did I.
