    IDK obviously he’s a lib but I think his take is broadly correct. I think a “big standard republican” is quantitatively way more dangerous than a corpse who is essentially puppeted by lanyards.

    Like obviously there’s no coherent argument why Biden should even be allowed to remain being president but the unhinged psychopathy of standard republicans is clearly more damaging.

      yeah, if, for example, Bernie had decided to double down on a crusade against the democratic party and run again, while openly undergoing cognitive decline, I would be voting for him, and advocating that others do too. ultimately the importance of the figure of the president is more symbolic than anything.
