      Only because there was no movement to primary him. If some of these checked out people showed up we could have easily ousted joe.

        Not just that. They’ve never primaried any incumbent president ever. You can blame Biden for not stepping down possibly for age and health reasons on his own. But seeing as they’re likely wasn’t an actual better candidate I can’t necessarily blame him for staying in either. If there really were a better candidate for everyone to get behind they’d be doing it. But there’s been no serious candidates. Not even talk of serious candidates.

        It’s perfectly reflects how f***** up our society is right now. So many people having to work into their 70s or eighties whether or not they want to.
