I agree entirely, and in addition to agreeing, I think voters who recognize the danger Trump posses should take stock of everything, not just one thing. Allow me to explain.

I agree entirely, and in addition to agreeing, I think voters who recognize the danger Trump posses should take stock of everything, not just one thing. Allow me to explain.
To me, intent is much easier to judge and much more important than competence, Biden and Harris are obviously well meaning, and Trump is obviously in it for himself and nobody else. To me, the choice could not be clearer, and the choice is independent of competence.
So, why are the polls so close? Should we be taking stock of Biden, or should we be taking stock of the implicit assumptions that lie hidden in the status quo?
If an individual is not rigorously skeptical of the individual's own implicit assumptions, then those assumptions will distort how that individual interprets their observations. Like the interview of the lady from a focus group who said she was hoping to listen to adults debate and she was watching children argue.
That is not fair. How would she feel if her maturity was questioned because she was attempting to have a serious and important conversation with someone who only wanted to engage in a pissing contest? Just one example.
And, aside from stepping down, what is Biden supposed to say to the double haters? All he can do is his best and hope people take some time to think about what's really going on.
When I try to put myself in Biden's shoes, all I can think is it's my job to defeat Trump, and Trump wins if I step down. I'm not certain I'm right, but when I put everything I know together, including your comments, it tells me Biden is doing the right thing.
I feel an obligation to clarify my statement about the lady in the focus group.
When I express a novel thought, it's like carrying out a potentially dangerous chemistry experiment, and sometimes there's an explosion (just ask my wife), which is why I do everything I can to keep the blast area as small as possible. Sometimes the result is a series of experiments that end in my ability to express my thought in words that are not subject to misinterpretation.
Free speech is essential to democracy, so the problem isn't the lady expressing her conclusion. The problem is CNN broadcasting her unchallenged conclusion to the world, which is like using a truckload of chemicals to carry out a novel experiment.

I agree with you James. He was set up, and knew it, which must have been a shocking blow, and yet managed to deliver his message.
