If you don’t see the direct connection between how Biden has governed and how that set up Trump to win, I don’t know that you can be helped.

Is it? He single handedly tanked the opportunity to find a strong Democrat candidate through a primary. After being forced out he repeatedly made comments that saddled Harris with his baggage.

He’s not 100% to blame, but no one is. He is probably about 30-40% of the problem though.

Biden undermined democracy by preventing a proper primary from taking place. The voters never got to nominate a candidate, and the establishment thrust a candidate on them that had already been rejected in a previous primary. That’s the establishment’s fault, and Biden if the face of the Democratic establishment.

Biden had a very weak presence his entire presidency. On occasion I think he actually did okay things, but you almost never heard about them because he did such a bad job of bragging about it. And the same is true for Harris.

Obviously there are many reasons why people win and lose presidential elections, so you don’t get to blame one person for 150 million votes or whatever it was. But if you were choosing people to put at the top of the list of who made a significant difference, I think you would say that Donald Trump and Joe Biden are way up there.

Exactly. His legacy is not doing what he promised, not being that bridge to the next generation. Only giving up his lust for being president when it was too late.

Its beyond the scope of my comprehension, how you can call Trump a fascist one week, and then congratulate him winning the next.

It’s easier when you’re a fascist that only relinquished power when the mob was at the door.
