"While it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as president for my term," Mr. Biden posted in a statement on social media.

The civilian equivalent of his position was CEO of a fortune 500 company

He was the civilian equivalent of a huge piece of shit? Ok.

Ok, now think like a voter who has cast two ballots for Trump, instead of a voter who is going to vote blue no matter who. Because that former Trump voter is the one you need to convince if you want to win.

I'm a communist. I don't win if there's a Democrat or a Republican in office. Someone who has cast two ballots for Trump has a dead rat for a brain and should be promptly sent to reeducation, not given some military bozo to vote for.

That's nice, honey, but the adults are talking now. Why don't you go play in your room?

Seriously, if there is no winning scenario for you, what do you care?

Where are these adults? Do you proclaim yourself the mature voice in the room with this incredibly smug reply? All while you jack off to the military credentials of an uninspiring moderate? His positions are straight down the line identical to Biden's. The only issue where he stands out is gun control- and that's where he would automatically lose in every red state.
