    90% of the attacks against Biden were about his age and speaking ability/gaffes…those go out the window now

    Biden did a lot of good with his policies that will become apparent years down the road…he exceeded my expectations significantly

    Excellent, wise decision President Biden! Love for country more than oneself. Thank you for rising to the occasion. Democracy as we know it is a stake!

    For all of Biden's faults I will never talk **** about him as a President now.

    Nobody would have had the stones to get us out of Afghanistan OR to drop out of the race. Those two things took uncommon courage and humility.

    Dude has my respect forever.

    Would be feeling a lot better about any outcome if RBG would have made a similar country first choice 10 years ago.

    Biden had a good term, father time is undefeated.

    I’d rather Trump not be president.

    Does anybody remember when Dean Phillips said Biden did well as President but was too old to run again and should step aside? And he was laughed at and hand-waved away for claiming this? I remember that.

    (Note: not a Phillips supporter, but he always deserved credit for being willing to speak the OBVIOUS truth that people in his own party were refusing to accept.)

    What would have been wise would have been to do this a year ago.

    He only did it now because it had become inevitable.

    I don't disagree. But better late than never.

    He was mostly good domestically especially with what the FTC has done under him. I think he succumbed to right wing narratives about the border and I obviously believe his defense of Israel's war with Gazans the past half year has been appalling but understand the other side would be worse with that matter

    now is the time for the Democrats to stop all the in-fighting and crab in barrel mentality, and fully get behind whoever the new candidate will be

    they were more effective attacking their own than they were the opposition

    so Dems can be effective with messaging, but only when it’s against their own…

    notice how all that “when they go low, we go high” and decorum BS they love to do went out the window
