The question Joe Biden keeps asking: ‘You think we can actually come back from this?’

Actually, I do blame him for overestimating his health, and thinking he had enough in the tank for another run. He clearly did not.
Would Harris have still been the nominee had there been an actual primary? Maybe, maybe not. But whoever won that would have been a better candidate.
I was extremely pissed off after watching that debate. The man I saw that night simply didn’t have it anymore, and it was more than just jeylag or a cold. There was nobody close to Biden who could have sat down with him before the election and told him directly that he didn’t have it anymore?
We talk about how Trump surrounds himself with yes-men and sycophants. I think Biden didn’t do much better.
Biden was one of the best presidents in my lifetime and he would have been for a second run too.
Being a white male he probably could have pulled off the win again too.
Not after that debate. If he had stayed in, all Trump would have had to do was play clips from it.
I do think that he was a very good President. His entire legacy is tarnished by holding on too long. If this is it for America, historians will write volumes on how Fascist America was enabled by people like him (and RBG) holding on to power past their “best by” dates.
