Oh man, there are some people in their FEELS over at Wonkette. I posted what I thought was a pretty justifiable take that I wish Joe was listening two years ago when most of the party didn't want him to run, and DANG was the backlash swift.

It is in fact extremely popular, at least as shown by the number of commenters and the fact that it still exists despite hiding nothing behind a paywall.
Do people really think Kamala has a worse chance, in any way thatтАЩs statistically significant, to beat Trump versus Biden? She polls better than Biden in most swing states, and the Dems have raised $30m today since Joe dropped out. Pretty clear peopleтАФwhatever they thought about BidenтАФwerenтАЩt enthused about a weekend at BernieтАЩs campaign/presidency.
I think they (rightly) (well, mostly rightly) think that Biden was a very good President. For Americans. But to me it seems more based on past accomplishments than future prospects. I don't think a large part of that contingent can hold both that Biden has been mostly a good President (yes I know I KNOW) and that he's clearly past his Sell-By date. Those are not mutually exclusive concepts.
I actually wanted to write something like "Joe Biden is not your friend, please grow up" and then Jack came out with exactly that today, so I kind of feel okay about it.

I have been afraid to say anything because I know people are going to be upset.
I don't understand at all.
My guess is some people are afraid (this epoch is scary, and the world is scary) so they imagine things that make them feel safer.
I am going to wait for them to calm down.
