Ignoring the obvious things here; how would Biden re-entering nominations count as "stealing back the nomination". I thought Kamala supposedly stole it from him? Did both of them steal it from Trump?
You're trying to make sense of something that doesn't make sense
Can't use sound logic to get someone out of a position they didn't use sound logic to get themselves into.
Everyone knows it was rigged, and Donald Trump actually won the Democratic nomination
I think it's just a matter of word choice. If your neighbor breaks into your shed and takes your bike, and puts it in their shed, they've stolen it. If you break into their shed, take it back, and put it back in your shed, then you might say you "stole it back" even though it's yours.
True, but if you give your younger friend your bike, saying "Here, have my bike, you'll do better with it than I will now", and then publicly praise your friend for how great a bike rider they are, but some weird crazed racist lunatic who hasn't been able to finish a coherent sentence for years and years rants about how you made the biggest mistake of your life and fantasies about you beating up your young friend for taking your bike, no one has stolen anything.
