    I’m not a Biden fan, but sewing discontent is not helpful.

    The “I would be at peace” thing is taken out of context as you well know. Biden knows as well as anyone how bad a Trump presidency would be, but how would you have him answer that question? The only possible answer is to say you’ll give it your best and deal with the outcome.

      I’m not sowing anything. My point is that the discontent is already there and it’s only growing.

      No. He said the words in the context of whether he would care much if he lost. That’s how I presented it.

      For most people, but not the ones he cares about the most: himself and his rich owner donors.

      how would you have him answer that question?

      “Yes, losing to the last president and first dictator of the United States of America would obviously be devastating. That’s why I’m doing everything in my power to avoid it”

      The only possible answer is to say you’ll give it your best and deal with the outcome.

      No it isn’t. See above.
