This decision really raises my opinion of Biden so much. God damn do I love that man, he is truly a great person who dedicated his life to serve his country, literally. He honestly had a great term given the circumstances, and the only thing he probably should have done differently is to not run for reelection to begin with. But he seemed to genuinely believe he could win and stave off Trump. Now that that seemed impossible, he makes a very courageous decision that a lot of people probably wouldn’t have made and puts the country ahead of his ego. Lots of respect from me, and I hope this reinvigorates the democratic base and makes the future brighter for all of us.

I know you’re from Europe but you should really read up on Biden’s long record of conservative and corporatist stances and policies. He literally wrote the legislation that trapped all future US generations in indentured student loan servitude in exchange for $250,000 from MBNA the following year. Then, he had the balls to pretend his means tested student loan forgiveness would fix the issue he created while he STILL fights student loan holders in court.
He was one of the most conservative, racist, corrupt, right wing Democrats there ever was. Let’s not rewrite his awful track record.
