Dude's figured out his legacy isn't what he thought it would be and is trying to come back and "fix" it. Fucking horrible person for his entire adult life.

Maybe he should offer to help Gaza instead. Fuck Biden.

He could do anything selfless and it would work, I'm just not sure he's capable.

I don’t think it’s that. I think he truly thinks he’s had a good career and fought the good fight. He’s so out of touch, but he wants to help because he heard there’s a problem. Probably don’t even understand how his help might not be a good thing.

I think he wants to help out of self preservation, because he still sees himself tied to the democrat party. If it implodes immediately after he loses an election (arguably his loss as well as Kamala's), it will tank his legacy. He will be a big part of why the party died.

So sure, yeah he wants to help the democrats, in a round about way. Its hilarious he thinks he could help at all though, rather than hasten its implosion.
