    We could have told him it was time to retire. Instead we gaslit an octogenarian into thinking he had to give up his retirement.

      Lmao. Who’s we? I certainly didn’t do anything of the sort.

          I don’t see how it makes any sense to blame the voters for Biden’s ego. Dude’s convinced he’s the only one who can win, apparently, else he’d step down and we’d have a brokered convention. How is that any of our faults?

              There were no real options on the primary ballot. There would have been, had he decided not to run, but he didn’t.

                  So because not enough democrats showed up to a primary to vote for nobody, we’re all guilty of gaslighting Joe Biden? That’s stupid. That was never going to happen.

                    It happened in Michigan. So it was always possible. And you don’t vote for nobody, primaries include all offices going to election. You just leave one box blank. That’s all.
