    Maybe so, but Biden had two opportunities.

    1. Get rid of Merrick Garland.

    2. Use the SCOTUS’s ruling of presidential immunity against Trump and them.

    He failed when it really mattered. Twice. No sympathy.

    It’s like saying, we played a great game against the 49ers but 1 minute left in the 4th quarter, we chose to do a field goal to tie the score instead of going for a Hail Mary and the kick missed.

      He also failed to step down when faced with compelling evidence that he would lose to Trump. If we had an honest primary, I don’t think we’d be in this mess. Instead, he held on to power up until the last minute and the Democratic constituency yet again got a candidate they didn’t want.

      As much as you might not want to hear it in the end Biden did the right thing because the average American decided they didn’t care about that.

        The 14 million being kicked off of Medicaid and the many being forcibly deported could give a flying fuck about the moral high ground.

          This isn’t about moral high ground this is about the majority of Americans deciding this is what they want their country to look like or not caring enough to vote.

            not caring enough to vote.

            Due in no small part to the jackass you’re defending and people like him in the DNC showing that they weren’t actually interested in anything but their own power and money, even if it meant squandering the opportunity to prevent this very outcome. The same politicians who have proven these people right by putting up no real resistance as they rubber stamped Trump’s cabinet picks and policy decisions in Congress, only to wring their hands on TV about how dangerous it is and text me asking for another donation so they could sit on their hands some more.

            Get serious.

                And the Democrats had 4 years they squandered to put Trump in prison for inciting an insurrection, or find a new candidate to run, yet they chose to do neither.

                That’s pretty serious.

            If you’re going to speak in broad strokes about the majority, it’s important to get right that the majority of votes went against Trump. He only has the support of the largest single minority bloc of voters.
