Yeah, that's what leadership is, chief.

It's also not even like it's only Americans whose lives will be directly affected by the next election but millions of migrants, Palestinians, Ukrainians and God knows how many more. So talk about the privilege of this comment, not to mention the dismissal of the half the country who doesn't want a return to 2020, to just throw the rest of the world under the bus because some may deserve it.

And Biden and Trump should both in theory put out a “I’m fine but if I develop dementia during the next turn this is the plan” plan. For Biden, that will help a lot of people who are on the fence between him and nobody see him as a better candidate and turn out in higher percentages.

I believe that's called a running mate, and not too many people seem keen on a President Harris.

I came to the same conclusion in a post on a sub that was debating whether they should re-open permanently or not. I'll leave it to you to imagine how well it went over, but it should be added that this behavior doesn't only affect mods or power users; it's true of the userbase in general. People will latch onto anything they can in order to defend crossing their own picket line.
