President Joe Biden, speaking to the nation from the Oval Office Wednesday evening, framed his decision to step aside from the 2024 presidential race as a matter of saving democracy and passing “the torch to a new generation.”
This is like calling a school bus driver a hero because at the last possible second he hit the brakes instead of intentionally driving the bus off a cliff.
It’s good he stepped aside, but he waited till pretty much the last second and clearly didn’t want to hit the brakes.
In that analogy, the heroes are all the people that got him to hit the brakes.
Or he waited until the Trump campaign sunk millions of dollars into a strategy that has now been completely subverted and which they have no real way out of without a massive pivot like dropping Trump which isn’t going to happen. If that’s the case, I’d call it a pretty savvy move.

I didn’t call him a hero, though, I called him humble and good. In your zeal to urinate on corn flakes, you forgot basic reading skills.
If he’s “humble and good” he’d have stepped down a year ago so voters could have a real primary and not a coronation.
Before doubling down, it might be wise to know what you are doubling down on. Aggressive foolishness is still foolishness.
What does that even mean?
It sounds like you’re just trying to make an insult that won’t get removed for being an insult…
I’m not here to slap fight, find someone else.
That’s an interesting analogy because objectively the bus driver is a hero for stopping a bus full of kids hurtling off a cliff.
If he wasn’t the one flooring it headed right to the cliff…
And if he didn’t take months of people telling him to hit the brakes while he screamed back only “Lord God” can stop the bus
Maybe the timing was to ensure an albatross like JD was firmly tied around his neck.
So you think Biden and the DNC colluded and he always meant to stand down?
He just waited until there wasn’t enough time for a primary so Kamala could get it?
Don’t get me wrong, she’s got a better shot than Joe. But if you legitimately think they planned this timing…
That’s not a good look.
Especially for voters in NH who had their primary delegates stolen.
Or he waited until the Trump campaign sunk millions of dollars into a strategy that has now been completely subverted and which they have no real way out of without a massive pivot like dropping Trump which isn’t going to happen. If that’s the case, I’d call it a pretty savvy move.
But that still took the decision of who the nominee should be out of the hands of voters.
