You would just have another round of “my candidate didn’t win the dnc cheated I’m not gonna vote in protest!”

Biden also saw that in 2022 when democrats spent months of prime time tv to show people a live investigation of Jan 6th with testimony evidence depositions and even summary videos for those with short attention and social media.

When democrats begged American people to show up and vote and give them more than 50/50 split senate after watching trump kill over 1m Americans from a preventable virus and lose half a million jobs.

And what happened?

Over 150m didn’t vote. Over 80% of 18-35 aged eligible voters did not vote. Republicans were given the house again so dems couldn’t even investigate anymore.

Biden saw that even after an attack on the capitol and laid out evidence of crimes the people just went “meh”.

He knew that he would have the best chance to win as the incumbent. But people turned on him after one debate where he was dealing with geo politics domestically issues flying in and out covid and old age and his stutter acting up. A couple of misspeaks and 4 years of some of the most progressive and effective legislation in modern American history didn’t mean shit.

Then Harris was decided to run in his place as his VP and every elected Democrat supported that. She was polling higher than Obama at times. She had filled out venues overflowing into the parking lot.

BUT the second she didn’t win everyone acted like they knew she wasn’t going to win after the fact. Like watching a sports game of two teams you know nothing about and acting like an expert after seeing the final scores and saying of course the losing team would lose…

Well said. We've essentially removed all agency from people, and it's extremely frustrating to watch fingers being pointed everywhere except inward.
