He would have stuck it out stubbornly had he not been pressured. No cookies for Biden.

So you're saying that a politician listened to members of his party and the voters, sidelining his own ambitions. And you have a problem with that?

I have no doubt that he was presented the near certain possibility of being humiliated (some more) and handing over the remains of American democracy to a group of literal Nazis, just to safeguard his own ego.

I would have voted for his administration no matter what (I was relatively pleased with it), but I have no fantasies about who Joe is and why he really stepped down. Once Obama started campaigning for him stepping down, it was all over.

He quit to save his own ego and his "legacy".

You type this and get up voted. I say the same thing more succinctly and get hammered.

I would have voted for him, but my vote double doesn't count. I'm in a hard Blue state, Washington. You could support genocide and Washington would still vote Dem. Oh... Wait.

Wait, in the US, it's not common to hate all your politicians? Coming from France, that's like.. a second nature

Only a few are respected, but for the most part I personally hate them all. Bernie Sanders is one with integrity. So is Jimmy Carter.
