Biden didn’t have to drop out. The onus was on other democrats to challenge him in the primaries. That didn’t happen. The primaries did happen. Obviously there was substantial pressure placed so that there wouldn’t be serious challenges but that doesn’t absolve other democrats.
And you say he should have dropped out last fall and yet after he delivered his State of the Union a few months ago not one person -of the dozens that recently called for him to drop out- asked for him to drop out. Maybe his health deteriorated more recently. I have no idea.
I remain unconvinced that Biden needed to drop out. It was everyone - the media, other D politicians- freaking out and asking for him to drop out that made it necessary for him to drop out. Obama stabbing him in the back was the death blow.
That’s not to say I am not livid at Biden’s circle - first of all- for agreeing to the debates at all and for not having “the talk” with Joe. Maybe they tried but it sure doesn’t seem like it. I feel deceived.
Does this mean that you think Biden should have stayed in the race and could have won?
Biden seems relatively ok on scripted events (or at least not significantly worse than usual) but it's the interviews or unscripted events where he struggles. They literally stopped having interviews and press conferences, its now reported they stopped having cabinet meetings, everything was scripted for him.
If you feel deceived by Biden and his team, why do you think that other Democrats who would be in a position to run didn't have the same lack of information that you do? They don't see the President or interact with him outside of scripted events either. It's not just the pressure, right, it's also a lack of information.
