    He’s an old fart that does things by the book and does them well with mostly good intentions from an outside perspective. He worked within those confines and got shit done in an adversarial environment. He didn’t anticipate the fuck-the-book approach that is now allowing trump to flagrantly ignore the constitution.

    Had he known he may have reoriented his strategies. But that’s hindsight right? Also fuck him for preventing an actual primary and forcing Kamala on the ticket - that was a known bad approach even without hindsight.

      Trump was perfectly transparent about his intentions. If Biden didn’t anticipate this he’s incompetent and deserves every ounce of hate coming his way.

      He ignored plenty of “by the book” ways to avoid our current situation. And he didn’t anticipate the approach that Trump had used for the 4 years prior to his presidency? That just proves he’s a terrible president.
