    Lots of politicians are cowards. A few candidates confronted Biden and were completely destroyed in the primary.

    It’s incredibly selfish to hurt the overall party goals (climate change, healthcare, increasing taxes on the wealthy) just to help your personal career.

      As in many things, it is easy to look in from the outside, and lob criticism because of problems or failures you can clearly see. Fun, too! You get to look like a genius and the guy trying to get things done looks like a chump in the harsh illumination of your piercing insight.

      It is much more difficult to step into the situation and help achieve success. And yet, the second one is what’s needed. The first one is valuable too, sure, but we’ve got enough of it at this point, I think.
