I would have voted for President Biden to prevent Trump from winning this year, even though I never was a fan of the former. If there’s a pattern with him, it’s that he knows how to go from bad to worse.
Before winning the election in 2020 he was asked “Will you take a woman as VP?” He stupidly painted himself into a corner by responding “Yes” right on the spot. The smart answer would have been: “I pick the very best woman or man to fill that position”. Period.
All along his mandate, the media didn’t like him at all. I guess he wasn’t the sexiest boy in town and already looked like he had one foot in the grave... Then, by not checking with his constituents, Biden came with the bright idea of canceling student loans which ended up in a big fiasco and by disenfranchising many of his supporters.
That’s when the “killer idea”, I should say the kiss of death, came to him, running again without any serious primary opponent that got him an effortless nomination in spite of having passed his political “expiration date”.
This sad event was both amplified and justified by his implosion as he faced Trump in the first debate and then by his repeated gaffes “president Putin” instead of Zelinsky and “vice president Trump” instead of Harris. But that was not enough to make him abandon the race, he had to be violently dragged out of it after almost a month of refusing to do so.
To make that move more painful, he designated Harris as his heir so she would have less chance to win than a number of other potential candidates that would make him look bad. He could have been gracious and resign upon the November election and let Harris be the 47th and first female president of color for a few weeks as a consolation prize, and stick it to Trump, but he forgot, I guess.
Yet, that wasn’t all, after affirming on multiple occasions that he would never pardon his son Hunter, he just did that after Thanksgiving. What a principled guy who might want to think twice before opening his mouth!
