I'm not resigned to defeat either, but to me that means being willing to accept what seems so painfully obvious: neither President Biden nor VP Harris possess the powers of persuasion necessary to pull off a comeback win. I believe it's past time to quit treating Biden with kid gloves. The path he is on is selfish to the point of narcissistic. He must be confronted in blunt terms by anyone with influence over him that he is betraying the trust placed in him when he was elevated to the office he sought for decades. The people don't owe him; he owes the people. He must release his delegates to vote their consciences. If nothing else matters to him, he needs to understand that his legacy depends on that.

Does it ever occur to people who think this , that he could actually believe he can do it, and does think he is the best one to do so?

WHy does he have to have ulterior motives, and since you aren't in his how do you know that is what he thinks?

Yes, many say that Biden truly believes he is the best bet to defeat Trumpism, just as many insist that Trump truly believes the 2020 election was stolen. To be honest, I don't care. Neither of those beliefs is reasonable, and the future of the country counts infinitely more than being solicitous of the delusions of two people.

You to you and I will do me, that way we remain civil and don't have to argue about it.

I really am tired of the fighting and the uncivility.

It is exhausting and unhealthy
