Running Biden again was a massive political blunder—but I'm annoyed by this alternate reality where there was a competitive Dem primary. No serious candidate would've challenged the sitting VP. This deference is maybe a bad thing—but it's also reality.

Part of why Republicans love claiming the moral high ground is because they know deep down that they have no right to. A few Tesla dealerships with broken windows is nothing compared to the violence of deported mothers and mass layoffs. (And yes, Mike, it's all wrong.)
