Mike S your opinion is riddled with unsubstantiated claims. Biden has a well developed plan, works with competent leaders to deliver and the nation has reaped the benefits of his administration in just a few years. You on the other hand come to the table with a preconceived notion that age is a key factor - lest you be reminded, take a look and listen to the audacious platforms of the "younger" candidate hopefuls who do not deliver, demonstrate obstruction in a most dangerous level and have their eyes on power and retriution. Think deeper Mike, listen carefully to the hate, anger and fear from opponents and question, what is there plan for sustainable change. Biden is building infrastructure and concensus despite the GOP opposition and the Democrat leadership is behind the Biden Administration. Attention to detail is needed.
Like I said, I am a huge fan of Biden. However, I do honestly think he made a mistake by not developing a younger successor and stepping aside. I don't really see how that is an unsubstantiated claim. More like just my opinion.
I felt the same way about Ginsberg. Her judgement was flawed in the end about her endurance. Very costly mistake.
Mike, it’s an unsubstantiated claim because it belies the truth of Biden’s development of Harris. The White House in fact is using her well, is providing her with the experience necessary to be president, and is touting her accomplishments. Just note: most White House press releases say “the Biden Harris administration”. Subtle, but there. If the media doesn’t follow through, that is not the fault of the administration. We all know we have a media problem, drama equals clickbait while quiet competence goes unnoticed.
Just look back to last week’s Harris tour of college campuses. It was wildly successful and well reported. But perhaps you didn’t notice?
In re stepping aside, I think what you suggest would be insane. Giving up the advantages of incumbency in this most important election would be foolish in the extreme. And Biden is not a fool. Furthermore, why would the most successful president of my lifetime step aside? I want another Biden term, because I like how he governs. I am not worried if he should become unable to complete his term, because Harris has in fact been prepared to assume the role, because Biden has indeed prepared his (potential) younger successor. Your repeated calls for him to step aside hurt the democratic cause.
Because we live in a racist, misogynistic society. You don’t care, and I don’t care (and in fact, perceive Harris’ race and gender as pluses), but sadly lots of people do. Exhibit A: Hilary Clinton. Please don’t respond as I imagine you would like to, by talking about Bill and Michigan haha. It’s late, and I’m too tired for that. :)

KR,
Good points all. Biden is a great President as I noted and I agree with you. Biden is not a fool (except, perhaps where his son is concerned).
Also, I really do think Harris could take on Trump and win. Perhaps big.
I really do hope I am not hurting Democracy by just suggesting that Biden might have stepped aside and let Harris have a go at Trump.
I think she would run circles around Trump. I think she would win.
Why does everyone think that Harris has been prepared but cannot win?
That is just beyond my understanding.
