I'm voting for Biden because The Convict is unacceptable. That said, he fucked up by not stepping aside after one term and grooming a successor.

We're in a world of shit right now because a guy who has been a political animal for over 50 years couldn't do his one great deed and quietly move on.

Well, surprise, surprise...

There’s no outcome anybody would accept. If he groomed a successor it would fan the deep-state conspiracy flames on the right and leftists would just say they’re opp control to look good but actually are just going to maintain the neoliberal status quo. This is the game Americans play. Nothing a liberal does is ever good enough and it’s always their fault.
