I'm the inverse now, -- I wonder what Biden's thinking. He's built this current situation and they're dancing on his grave while he's still kicking.

the real economy, his.
he's been a loyal soldier for 50 years and they turned him out for a change candidate from the job they're both doing.

If Monday’s speech was any indication, it was definitely the right call. - znufrii Aug 21, 09:55
She's not a "change" candidate, she's an "amplify" candidate -- nm - rollo Aug 21, 09:43 1
- Not to bring a pat reply, but one brilliant thing about Biden's move is that she both is and isn't. -- nm - con_carne Aug 21, 09:51
Yeah. Even though it's the right decision and what has to be done, it has to hurt on some level even if he agrees. -- nm - Dano Aug 21, 09:40
The alternative is that he stays in and loses. What's that do for his legacy? It's bittersweet of sure, but he chose the best option for Dems/America -- nm - ty97 Aug 21, 09:31 4
- Add to that a reckoning with his own mortality though. "This is real now. Final chapter of life begin." -- nm - con_carne Aug 21, 09:34 1
  - Yes. I've mentioned before that my dad is also 81 and I've though of him often throughout this. - ty97 Aug 21, 09:35
- And I actually think he realizes that. It took him time but I think he gets it. Doesn't mean he *likes* it nor should he. -- (edited) - ty97 Aug 21, 09:32 1
  - It will be an interesting think to look back at with clear eyes. He was the perfectly right candidate in 2020 and perfectly wrong in 2024. - ty97 Aug 21, 09:34
(1) given how all his other presidential runs turned out, the best single term of our lifetime? take the dub; (2) he shoulda bragged more about it - mr mooch Aug 21, 09:23 3
- Nancy kinda needs to ride into retirement too, but I think she did what had to be done. -- nm - ty97 Aug 21, 09:36 2
  - AOC is certainly happy she's not speaker anymore, yet I feel like ST always dunks on Hakeem Jeffries. -- nm - con_carne Aug 21, 09:40 1
    - deservedly so -- nm - mr mooch Aug 21, 09:44
There are multiple emotional moments to be found surrounding his speech. I imagine "In the just-missed alternate timeline, it woulda been me!" -- nm - con_carne Aug 21, 09:22
If I'm a philanthropist, having twice selected the person who will next solidify the best chance for improving lives would feel like a huge win to me. - Max Aug 21, 09:21 1

I'm going to teach them how to say goodbye -- nm - oblique Aug 21, 09:19 2
- Word. And literally everyone has been giving him his flowers. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Aug 21, 09:24 1
  - They should do a 'Thank you Joe' fest the day before inauguration. I'd consider going. - ty97 Aug 21, 09:50
