    That’s not fair. A president giving up power is a big deal. It shows integrity. Do you see Trump EVER doing anything even remotely as selfless?

    Biden didn’t have to step down. He could have driven everything into the ground to hold on to power, which btw pretty much any other politican WOULD have, but he didn’t.

      Yes, it most certainly is.

      A president giving up power is a big deal

      The end of American democracy is a much bigger deal

      Do you see Trump EVER doing anything even remotely as selfless?

      That’s such a low bar that you need professional digging equipment to even find it.

      Biden didn’t have to step down

      Yes he did. He was about to lose what could become the last presidential election ever and almost nobody had any confidence in him anymore.

      He could have driven everything into the ground to hold on to power

      Again, SUPER low bar! Where’s my medal for not burning an orphanage to the ground?

      which btw pretty much any other politican WOULD have

      Who hurt you? You must have been subjected to some REAL shit if this is the amount of confidence you have in your fellow humans…

      but he didn’t

      He stubbornly tried to for a month until the rich donors and their representative Nancy Pelosi basically forced him out. He doesn’t deserve credit for extremely reluctantly giving up after intense pressure from everyone who’s got a vested interest in Trump losing.
