    Don’t get me wrong. I’m extremely happy for the change, but I think the excitement you’re seeing is more indicative of how much anxiety everyone was feeling about the future of this country if Biden stubbornly stayed in, and the sudden wave of relief they’re feeling now. If Biden hadn’t decided to run again at let the primary process do it’s job to select a candidate, we might now have someone even better positioned to defeat Trump.

      While true, never underestimate American’s need for an “underdog” hero who comes in at the last minute to save the world, sort of thing.

      We, unfortunately, love that shit. So this is playing well across the board.
