    No, not Biden. First of all, he wasn’t running. It was the party more broadly. By just saying Biden, the party doesn’t have to change, but the voters are naturally expected to change and be more willing to vote for whatever genocidal shit demon the party demands unquestioning fealty to in 4 years.

      You can’t absolve Biden’s part in this though, if his administration hadn’t hid how he was just not in a condition for another years of the presidency (I believe even Biden has admitted this now) then an actual primary could have happened. Instead it was swept under the rug until the last second, then they scrambled to get a non-geriatric candidate that was a good pick for the situation but wasn’t picked by voters.

        I’m not. I’m just not about to let party leadership off the hook by acting like Biden did this all by his lonesome.
