I had almost forgotten he was still president. The truth is, I dont think that we ever heard enough from Joe Biden throughout his presidency. This was not the sole fault of the media, for those who are inclined to go there immediately. A good portion of this must lay at the feet of his team of presumably, good Democrats.

What we did, collectively, it didn’t work out, and it wasn’t everybody else’s fault. We don’t know exactly what went wrong right now, but blaming everyone else for absolutely everything will result in zero change on our part, and hence our further destruction.
