Man, I know I’m being naive but I truly want to believe that Biden honestly thought he had the best chance to beat Trump. Obviously he was wrong. But I just feel like he really believed that he had the best shot and trusted his gut until it was too late. It doesn’t make a difference ultimately. I just want to believe he cared genuinely about the nation and felt that the person most likely to beat Trump was the one who had already done it once before.
I believe he was trusting his gut at a point where his gut was no longer worth trusting, and everyone around him could see it but he could not. A very harsh example of why there should be age maximums as well as minimums for elected office.
Edit: and I know this is dumb to bring up but I didn’t downvote your original comment. I see there’s a few downvotes there. I really value respectful conversations and try not to downvote people who I disagree with, who aren’t being harmful or hurtful.
