    Biden had a job to do. Stop the boat from rocking. And he did a pretty damn good job of it. I wish he had been able to “job done” and step aside so the Dems could have had real primaries. But wishes ain’t nothing. This isn’t the worst result of that target fixation.

      This sudden move has created such a surge in interest that the results may turn out better than if a normal primary happened. (As far as not watching a fascist dismantle our government)

        Yeah, in a way, Kamala coming out winning already and fighting has saved all the arguments and Dem on Dem fighting that would have come had Biden stepped down earlier in time for the primaries. It has focussed minds and they’ve been united pretty much instantly.
