If I recall, he decided to run for reelection because the alternative was Trump.
Giving up the incumbent advantage would have been extremely detrimental to the effort to prevent a second Trump Administration. I believe there are articles from that time about him making this decision.
Hindsight is 20/20 so I’m not interested in hearing about how it was a bad calculation or whatever. The rate of Biden’s mental decay after that only increased.
No sane political operator would have held a Democratic primary given the circumstances at the time.
The alternative was always going to be Trump. Biden was never a popular president and they should have held the primaries when they were suppose to. Biden surrounded himself sycophants who told him he could win.
Biden’s visible mental decline started way before the election. He has a history of angry outbursts, which when directed at conservatives was “fun” to watch for some people, but it only reminded me of how my conservative family members deal with disagreements. He was never a good pick, just a better pick over Trump. Not having a primary, even a shame primary, deenergized Harris’s voter base. The people feel like they’re being talked down to by the DNC and their right. This is the same shit that got Trump voted in in the first place, but more of it.
