5. Biden wasn't "terrible in every way"

But the 2024 loss was largely due to his stubborn insistence on running for a second term rather than announcing he would not run right after the 2022 midterms and allowing a full primary process.

Sadly, that will be Biden’s legacy, despite the fact he was the most progressive president since LBJ, and presided over the best economy since LBJ.

Voter suppression aside, Any talk of Trump “cheating” is kooky CT nonsense rejected by the Harris campaign and Marc Elias, the country’s top election integrity lawyer.
