I believe he was trusting his gut at a point where his gut was no longer worth trusting, and everyone around him could see it but he could not. A very harsh example of why there should be age maximums as well as minimums for elected office.
Edit: and I know this is dumb to bring up but I didn’t downvote your original comment. I see there’s a few downvotes there. I really value respectful conversations and try not to downvote people who I disagree with, who aren’t being harmful or hurtful.
Man, I know I’m being naive but I truly want to believe that Biden honestly thought he had the best chance to beat Trump. Obviously he was wrong. But I just feel like he really believed that he had the best shot and trusted his gut until it was too late. It doesn’t make a difference ultimately. I just want to believe he cared genuinely about the nation and felt that the person most likely to beat Trump was the one who had already done it once before.
I have zero interest in becoming poly, exploring the idea, etc. it doesn’t appeal to me at all. But from a sociological standpoint, it’s very interesting to me personally to consider the dynamics of those relationships and to understand how they can vary from person to person, group to group.
I don’t have any experience with that community but I promise you that painting with a broad brush like you’re doing is wrong. You don’t know this individual. You’re assuming the worst without ever engaging in conversation with them personally. Unless you do know this person in which case I apologize.
As soon as I saw the photo, my eye caught “sister” in the text and I assumed the worst. Was pleasantly surprised at how little incest was involved here.
This is so very, deeply unsettling to me for some reason
