    You’re acting like you had superior information about the system.

    Biden had every detail lined up at the time these conversations were rolling.

    He was the clear and away presumptive nominee.

    If Biden was still in right now you’d be the one “reflecting” based on you’re advice, and that makes no sense to tell someone about something they can’t control.

      I respectfully disagree. Y’all are clearly very defensive about this and that’s not going to result in a fruitful discussion, so carry on and don’t even think about reflecting on your sources

        My source was me, acknowledging my wrongness. Lol

        Outside of that my source was the dnc, and Biden himself. The sitting president, saying he’s running again.

        Further, you make a fine point about what voices people listen to, and that a variety should be considered. But suggesting you knew better, and lecturing others as if you had some clear path of source and logic is why people got frustrated with you.

        It’s condescending and inconsistent to boot

          That’s actually totally fair. Maybe that was my mistake, which I appreciate you pointing out! I should’ve made it clear I’m in the very process of doing this myself

          I’m trying to understand why I was hesitant about Biden dropping out even when my guy told me we were beyond fucked. Why was AOC hesitant? (I think it makes sense for her, tbh) Why did her insta story just before sway my opinion so much? Who were the people saying this could work and that it would turn out as well as it has? What were theie reasons? Etc.

          I’m honestly not sure of all the answers or questions but I personally wouldn’t trust anyone that was saying what has happened was impossible. It very clearly was possible. What else is possible?
