The entire conversation about Biden feels flummoxing to me because a big part of why I was so downhearted about Biden being the nominee in 2020 was that, obviously, it meant the best case scenario was 8 years of a Joe Biden presidency.
I'm not sure why that wasn't obvious to everyone. A party who went with the "safe" choice of Joe Biden in 2020 was never, ever going to go against the "safe" conventional wisdom that incumbents get a huge boost with the electorate and nominate someone else.
