    No, it isn’t. Biden is letting his fucking pride erode our chances of avoiding a dictatorship.

    We’ll see how future appearances are but he was incoherent at the debate and if that keeps up it makes another Trump presidency much more likely.

    Also, fuck off for blindly assuming what everyone else thinks and assuming everyone who disagrees with you is arguing in bad faith.

      We saw this recently with Ruth Bater Ginsberg, too, unfortunately - she could have chosen to step down when Obama was president and secured a democrat nominee in the SCOTUS for 50+ years, but she didn’t, and now look where we are.

        We’re also, unfortunately, seeing this with Sotomayor right now. Though she may also be holding out because she assumes the senate would just block her replacement.

        She’s an awesome jurist but she has serious health issues.
