Biden was shaky at best. I doubt there was a real chance he would have survived four more years of the most stressful job in the world (for an honest person, trump of course doesn’t work like that).
I think he did the right thing, and his administration was very successful and more progressive than I think most of us expected. I’d vote for him again, but I don’t think it was best for everyone.
I can’t comment on him enduring four more years of leading the nation, but he would have won the votes. He was never my top option in the past. But at this point, the democratic party is playing with fire. Let’s just hope it pays off.
I thought leaving him in was playing with fire.
Nope. Because now the party is in real disarray. Mark my words: if Trump wins, it will be because of what happened today. And the democrats are to blame. Yes, yes, Russia, China, Iran, all doing an excellent disinformation campaign, yes, yes, the GOP is compromised, etc. But ultimately, the democrats opened the floodgates of opportunity for Trump to win “because the gates looked too rusty and we need to replace them.”
Biden was fine. And I didn’t even like Biden. I would have preferred Sanders over him or Clinton. But we know what the elite dems did to him.
They were going to lose if he stayed in.
No, they weren’t. But anyway, it doesn’t matter at this point. We will never know.
Who was saying they weren’t?
The people who mattered. Including the academic who has correctly predicted all presidential elections (except for the Bush/Gore one.)
But anyway, I really hope that this Harris renewed wave is truly substantial.
Which is who? The ones who mattered got him to step down.
