In an environment where old men cling to every drop of power and control they can get, I'm super proud of Biden for putting his ego aside and doing what's best for the country he loves
Give me a Jon Stewart / Katie Porter ticket!
Because actors like Trump and Reagan have done so well as POTUS? Let’s stick with people who have professionally held office.
They have, unironically, done a great job of getting what they want.
Reaganomics has defined America for decades. Trumpism is redefining it, and both were accomplished by being presidents the American public is actually excited to support, for good or ill.
Have you considered the benefits of that being done by someone who isn't a raging asshole?
Hey now we can get someone even less progressive than Biden, who will be just as bad on genocide as Biden (so will do nothing to make things better for all those single-issue voters who also somehow thought Trump would be better on genocide) and will soft pedal us to the right instead of the rocket propelled sprint to fascism that Trump would bring.
Feels like a bit of a lateral move to me.
Pass the torch to another old person.
Let's get preemptively mad!
