Pretty clear that Biden thinks fighting to a bitter end is better for his Legacy than resigning.
What it means for his party is not so clear.
It is also not a vote of confidence for Kamala
The chat with G-steph was disappointing. I saw someone who had the kind of unwarranted confidence that signals some loss of self-awareness. It adds to the feeling that the DP machinery has become corroded and unresponsive. I held back expressing this back in the primaries - solidarity and all that - but Biden seemed to me to be entering a Weekend at Bernies stage all this past year. He had enough momentum and life wisdom to get him through a first term, but no more.
With all due respect. BULLSHIT.
Biden is 81 years old and has noticeably slowed but the reports of his demise are slightly exaggerated.
Trump is 78 and is a demented sociopath whose own cognitive abilities have greatly diminished. Just watch one of his rallies in its entirety.
Biden has done an amazing job as PRESIDENT. The economy is the envy of the world. Europe and NATO are more unified than at any time in recent memory Poland, France and the U.K. slapped down the rightwing.
Israel is ready to kick Netanyahu to the curb and the Iranians chose to Chuck the hardliners in favor of the reformer. OPEC has lost its stranglehold on the US because of Biden energy policies.

DONT PANIC!and always carry a towelIt bothers me so many politicos calling for Biden to step aside are motivated by self preservation instead of national preservation
The problem is too many Dems are quick to panic and also are too quick to see things through the lens of THEIR job. In politics if you are not willing to say
fuck it! I
