Whatever the Bidens end up deciding, it's baffling that they seem to think it would somehow reflect badly on his career to bow out.

Screen cap on right: My suggestion that this isn't a good way to think about the situation
Which will reflect worse?
* bowing out now?
* forced out?
* losing all the swing states?
It's too early to decide now. Polling pre-debate didn't look good for Biden, but a strong debate performance could narrow the gap. If he slides enough, what's the plan to win?
Polling’s under reported, by quite a bit, Dem strength. We did much better in 2022 & since than polling would suggest.
I’m just saying it’s up to us, not Biden, to keep this country a democracy. Freaking out is what Dems do, ok, then shake it off - there’s a shit ton of work to do. Indivisible.org
