If the democrats were prepared Biden wouldn't be on the ballot
He’s the incumbent. The last incumbents to not be reelected were Trump and HW Bush. Tell me again why Biden is unelectable.
Because Biden is a lot closer to HW Bush than he is to Obama. One of the reasons he got the nod in the first place was his promise not to run for re-election. And where we are now is why.
Biden specifically said he would not promise to serve one term.
Oh bullshit he said that once while telling everyone around him that he was a one term president. And he continually referred to himself as a transition president or a stopgap bridge to the next generation.
The message was received by voters.

Even in your own quotes.
How about we get a president that isn't over 70 and doesn't require uppers to function, like biden, or literal adult diapers, like trump.
Both options are garbage and both men need to retire.
Funny that you didn't mention Carter.
Last 40 years not good enough? Even with Carter the odds are better for the incumbent.
Oh it's not that, it's just there is so few presidents that didn't win their second election, and you listed all of them except one particular democrat, is all.
People don't think he does enough. And "his son". Basically it's to just be edgy. Dude has taken a shit show and make it resemble an office again.
