    Yes some of us been paying attention to who is backing him and who wasn’t. Some of us had noticed that all the leftists in the party were still behind Joe Biden while all the neoliberals weren’t. Some of us have noticed that the president who has protected worker rights and expanded consumer protection and wants to tax the wealthy is getting pushed out by the corporate Democrats.

        That’s true, which is why I’m voting for whoever replaces them. I just can’t view this as a victory.

      I think he’s just really sick with COVID and maybe thinks he doesn’t stand a chance of recovering so he’s stepping down in anticipation of him maybe passing away.

        I think he has the best healthcare in the world, way beyond what the rest of us can even imagine. I think he’s gonna be fine.
