He could resign right now and let Kamala finish the term, ruining the millions of dollars of “47” merch on the market.
Comment on "The American experiment endures," Biden said. "We're going to be OK."

It’s hardly going to help any to come out and announce that everything is fucked and you’d probably also be pretty disinclined to say nothing of note was achieved in your own administration or that there isn’t really enough time to do much of anything in the remaining period.

Yes it fucking would! That kind of honest assessment of reality is exactly what millions of working-class people have been clamoring for from Democrats and not fucking getting!
And by “millions,” I mean more than the margin of victory.

The beginning and end of Leadership is accountability. The Dems refuse to accept their part in this loss.
The President and Vice President have zero outward indications that this is personally painful to them, at all. If anything, they seem relieved to be passing the potato. If they are so out of touch, or so insulated from the pernicious outcomes of their doleful stewardship of this country, then WHY should voters place their trust in that party again, considering it’s been helmed and staffed by the same obstinate members for decades?
I don’t see Leadership, I see a kind of craven capitulation, at a time when America most need its leaders to have fire in their bellies, and compassion in their eyes.
