JimmyBigSausageIn honor of Joe Biden and his prime time speech Monday instead of Thursday.
inb4_FoundTheVeganSo PBS Frontline has this new documentary that I watched a few weeks ago, “Biden’s Decision”. As a leftist that voted against Trump, not FOR Biden I figured I could probably learn more.
But it was honestly shocking to me that the entire crux of the piece was “Get back up” and “Determination” for all the times Biden ran for president, he himself never really gave a good reason why. Biden decided he wanted to be president, and therefore he spent his whole life either running for president, not because he felt he was the most qualified or best for the country. But because he wanted to. Biden wanted to be the one in charge, but historically, he never had a base who wanted him? Dude only got to the White House when Obama balanced his ticket and then again when his best qualifcation was “Literally Not Trump”.
So while I am glad he dropped out, and somewhat happy for Biden for achieving a life goal, I guess? Still don’t see a compelling reason to be enthusiastic for the man, but eye opening that no one has ever been very enthaustic for him. Biden stepping down was the right thing to do, just not the thing he wanted to do. Not really sure that is deserving of praise. Humility isn’t exactly a noble virtue it’s the standard expectation of decent folk. At least it should be, not this running for the sake of running.

I disagree that humility is a standard. Yes, it should be, but sadly it is a virtue that isn’t found in too many people nowadays. Most people don’t really think critically enough about themselves to truly be humble imo.
It actually does sound like you agree with me? If we can both say that it’s not found in enough people and that’s dissapointing then it is a standard we hold just one not enough meet. Humility isn’t common, but since it is such a low bar of understanding yourself it doesn’t deserve praise.
Yeah, if you put it like that then I agree. I just understood “standard” in your previous comment as “what most people are like”. Which I guess we wouldn’t call “standard”, we’d call it “normal” instead. 🤔
