I'm guessing it's never happened before.
You can think something that hasn't ever happened before should happen but it just won't so might as well give that hope up. I did.

It's also very rare that the loser of an election is the nominee again (though this has probably happened before)

In other words it makes complete sense that Biden would be the nominee again.

It's bat **** insane that trump would be the nominee

agree with it being insane Trump running given everything he's done. However i disagree about it making sense that Biden would run given his age and deterioration, he seemed to be more a placeholder for one term. Anyway it is what it is

you know there's no chance to replace Trump because the Republicans heads are so far up his arse they'll never do it yeah ?? which is why i don't mention it. It's weird because there seemed to be quite a few other options for them. I actually still have hope that the Democrats will wake up and replace Biden to offer something decent and appealing. i think there's still a good chance that will happen which is why i do mention it, Not hard to understand unless you're just so hell bent on thinking Biden is a good option. I wouldn't vote for either of those clowns in a blue fit.

And my point overall is .. the world is laughing at you Trump is .. well all that he is and it beggars belief that he might get back in, but outside the US Biden is openly mocked and laughed at and it's also hard to fathom that he's being offered as the other choice.

but yeah .. pAtTErn

Most of the world isn’t laughing at us. Where do you get your information from? The same junk sites you get your crazy anti vax information from? Australia seems to be a weird outlier. Is it because Murdoch media (owner of Fox News) is so popular there?

Again, it’s weird how you have this pattern of attacking Biden and helping Trump.

I can think of a couple...

Kennedy
Lincoln
 
Why do we act like Trump is some sort of juggernaut? He’s never won the popular vote. He never broke 50 percent on approval. What has he done to become more popular since his insurrection? Do we think he’s going to win more support with his nonsensical rants about sharks, batteries, and becoming a dictator?

LBJ, Polk, Buchanan, Hayes, Coolidge, and Truman. And Teddy Roosevelt, but he ran the term after.

When are they going to make a feature length movie about Teddy Roosevelt? And I mean a modern movie. I don't want to hear about whatever got released in 1909.

Hopefully never. Teddy Roosevelt is too complicated a character to tell his story in a ~2 hour frame. A feature length film could only present a slanted half-truth. HBO might be able to do him justice in a miniseries similar to the one they did for John Adams.

LBJ was the last president who didn’t run for reelection when he could have. 1968 was a rough year. You’re at the middle of Vietnam (we had just suffered a major attack from the Viet Cong known as the Tet Offensive. Our embassy was hit, south Vietnamese police officers were caught on camera shooting viet Cong prisoners in the heads, and Walter Cronkite declared the war a failure), Civil Rights unrest, the Democratic Party was split in two as southern Democrats either went Republican or independent, and two major assassinations, Bobby Kennedy and MLK jr.

The others that come to mind either had unique circumstances (Truman had already served 7 years because he had served most of FDR’s final term and the Korean War was a stalemate and Roosevelt didn't think he should run again) and the others happened in the 19th century.

No one with Biden’s economic or legislative record would be seeking to “hang it up.” Yes, he’s old. Wish he were 30 years younger. Wish he was a better public speaker. But the result? He’s been wildly successful. Probably the most effective president since Reagan, LBJ, or Einsenhower.

The economy
Vaccine rollout (it’s a shame red America decided vaccines were for *******)
CHIPs act
Limiting drug prices
Infrastructure
Investment in green tech
Handling of Ukraine

All top notch.

Just Imagine Trump’s handling of Ukraine. Would zelensky even be alive right now?
All those projects republicans voted for but are taking pictures of now that they’re being built? That wouldn’t have happened under dump. How many times did we have “infrastructure week” and it ended up being him freaking out at pelosi or calling African counties *********?
Think dump would’ve limited the price of insulin or would he have given ceos who donated to his campaign tax breaks? We all know the answer to this.

The ones who decided not to run for a second term - some of them (Truman & LBJ I know for sure) were VP, took over for part of their predecessor's term when they died, won the next election, and then didn't run the one after that even tho they could have. Teddy ran and won in 1904, didn't run in 1908, then ran again in 1912.
