Spare me all the praise for Joe Biden as a selfless hero who has put aside his ego and ambition to do what is right for the country. Joe Biden did not give up the presidency. His candidacy for reelection was euthanized by his own party, while they thought nothing of him and everything about the inheritance he could squander if they allowed the candidacy to live any longer. This was like watching a Canadian Medical Assistance in Dying scandal, with the president physically and verbally resisting the “dignity” his party offered him.
