Good. He will be remember well for this.

I’m voting for any D, no matter what.

- It's a hard thing to come to terms with losing your edge with age. I'm glad he listened to reason in the end.

  Did he listen to reason or was he pushed?
  
  I wonder what straw broke the camels back.

Good man.

Now let’s get this done.

- What a stupid comment. Biden was getting stuff done. Everyone was cool with it until he said "I'll tax the billionaires."
  
  If Trump wins, and god I hope he doesn't win, we'll totally deserve it, for being the party of ADHD.

  What is it like, being that sure of... anything?

  Biden was shaky at best. I doubt there was a real chance he would have survived four more years of the most stressful job in the world (for an honest person, trump of course doesn’t work like that).
  
  I think he did the right thing, and his administration was very successful and more progressive than I think most of us expected. I’d vote for him again, but I don’t think it was best for everyone.

Best news I've seen in a while. We sure could use some good news....

  That would be rather ridiculous. Age is just a number (especially as we may be on the precipice of age slowing/age reversal). I'd be for reliable mental acuity type of screening.

  That's a bit too restrictive

  The cop that came in last in the primary is the viable option?

After weeks of republican pressure... Who the fuck is running now? Only fucking trump.

- No, it was the elite democrats who put the pressure. They heard Biden saying "I'll tax the billionaires" and that was it.
  
  Edit: Downvoted either by Trump sympathizers or people brainwashed by said elites. The media campaign was relentless.

  Everyone who thinks I'm a moron is a Trumper or brainwashed
  
  How can man be so based?? Teach me

  Don’t you think that if those people actually cared that much about their taxes, they’d just vote for Trump? And is it really that unrealistic that he simply recognized how bad his numbers were?

  That's a death knell if he did. Bernie said the same thing at the end of this interview: https://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/amp/rcna161541

  No, it was a whole host of people who are pragmatic and understood that he will not win. Trump is way ahead in the polls.
