    I’m in 100% agreement, to the point where I was preparing for a Toupee victory until Biden stepped aside. But with how hilariously Vance is shitting himself in the foot (typo intentional), I have to at least briefly wonder if Biden waited to step aside until after the Toupee Party picked their VP. It’s blindingly obvious that the Republicans were only planning on campaigning against Biden. If he had stepped aside before Vance was picked, the Toupee might have picked a less unlikable VP candidate.

      IIRC he stepped aside immediately after the republican convention that had had been aimed entirely at him leaving them scrambling, and endorsed Harris who was immediately read to run. The timing was impeccable!

        Yeah, I don’t think his original decision to stay in was to make this tactical choice, but I absolutely think they figured out long ago he wasn’t going to win (or maybe even to have the stamina to keep campaigning) and they had him stay in until the worst possible moment for R’s.
