I think the prolonged drama made it far far worse for Biden's legacy



It wasn't his face the party wanted to save


I disagree. His legacy is strong and he will be viewed very favorably.


By whom? My politically minded friends of all alignments seem to all dislike him. Most vocalky the more liberal voices. Its frankly a bit weird.


I mean we could just swap anecdotes but everyone I know deeply respects and loves Joe while realizing he was too old to continue.

Israel is the culprit . In that case, let's look at the millions more of people who died under Trump. Trump was unable to stop the war in Afghanistan, and triggered the invasion of Ukraine (by weakening NATO)


Invasion of Ukraine started under Obama in 2014. Not that I care from the outside who the head of the US military industrial complex is while things happen, but let's be a bit more precise.

Funny how people can't even accept a simple truth and rather flag it and instead bicker over inconsequential bullshit, like whether Biden stubled twice or thrice during a stupid debate, or whether he was tired or is simply getting ever more demented, like many people over certain age.

But at least it explains how US can fund so much brutality against children overseas. Americans just close their eyes, and go lalalalala, while raking in profits.


I'm no Trump fan, but doing nothing to stop a war is very different from actively providing arms to a genocidal regime.


He was dropping out no matter what, and Kamala losing is objectively worse for his legacy than Kamala winning. Anything he could do to help her is good for his legacy, and he took a ton of bullets for her the past few months in order to give her the best shot at beating Trump.


Genuinely wondering, what kinds of bullets are you referring to?


Getting through the RNC fanfare and letting all the attacks fall on him. Now that it's over, Kamala doesn't have to take as much heat.
