Looking at Obama's sentiments, it really shines a light on just how much Biden did for us. He was a great president who did deserve another term if he wanted it. He did a great job of tryibg to clean up the mess Trump left behind.
If Biden were a lesser man, he could have done all kinds of things to Trump after they announced presidents have immunity. He never abused his power and always exercised restraint. And he decided to step down to give the democrats a better chance to win it than they seemed to have with him. He put the needs of his party and the American people before himself. In my eyes this man is a goddamn saint who we were lucky to have as our leader while we did.
I still support Harris, and am onboard with the change overall. But I don't think the democrats should have announced their doubts about Biden in public. This should have been kept private. It only makes your house look weak when you appear divided. They always should have publicly supported Biden either way and stood behind him.
Sure, he has cognitive decline. But so does Trump. He at least still had way more common sense and a heart that was in the right place. There were still people who were going to vote against Trump either way. I still think he could have won. But it wasn't worth the risk with such high stakes, and that really sucks.
Yeah but that's censorship!
In all seriousness, this post and the one above that also describe my feelings on the situation pretty well. Only thing I might differ on is that nobody deserves any term for presidency and I don't think Biden gave us the impression he thought so, or at least not with regard to a second term.
