    If Biden has stepped down in year 2 and let Harris be president ney the first black woman president, she would have been reelected easily. Biden should have what was best for this country not his ego

      If you look at the whole arc of Bidens career, he’s always been conservative for a dem, and bent over backward to accomodate republicans when he shouldnt have. He’s legendarily bad at dealmaking and often seemed to be pretending to be incompetent so he could give the right sweet deals. He was also terrified of being called soft on crime, so he made a big show of being tough on crime in really dumb ways. He was also obviously a racist, right up until he was tapped to be Obamas vp. He also spent his entire career being bought and traded by AIPAC. He was not a good man, and not a good dem. He was never going to do a good job as president and the only way he won was in running right after Obama so he got the racist reactionary vote, and against Trump.
