been trying to place the the cognitive dissonance I feel with “to serve his country, Biden should step aside” and I think it’s that no one would ever suggest that Trump should do something that puts the country first
All of this, but also, as I keep saying everywhere: it is not an easy or simple task to spin up a new campaign with a different candidate in 4 months. It’s simply too damn late to be talking about dropping a presidential candidate and running someone else in their place.
A lot of people coalesced under Biden in 2020 under the assumption that he would defeat Trump, serve one term, and step away. Not everyone believed that, but there were plenty of rumors that would be the case and a lot of people only acceded for that reason. It's too late now, but it's depressing.
