    I feel like almost everyone misunderstands Jon. He calls out shitty government behavior.

    I remember when Jon wanted Biden to drop out after his poor debate performance, and people said he was being unfair because he [checks notes] wanted Trump to lose.

      Or they were rightfully worried that changing course that late in the game would have consequences.

      Biden should not have run in the first place. Speaking up that he should step aside like 2 months before the general is not the time to do it, all that does is sow further dissention.

      And look how that turned out.

        Biden had internal polls showing he would lose and Trump would have 400 EC votes. That’s a bigger loss than Harris had later that year. That’s why he dropped out (along with pressure from the donor class.)

        Dude, if Biden had run it would be super majority for republicans.

        Democrats own internal polling showed that Trump was going to win 400+. This is why Nancy Pelosi picked up to phone and started pressuring him to drop.

        Really well until it was Harris saying she was just going to do everything Biden told her form off stage and dismissed the pain if the average citizen?
