I don't think he does.

Even if the choice had been Senile old man who sleeps for 4 years vs. Trump

The choice was EASILY Senile old man.

If you chose not to vote, you chose a vote for Trump.

Biden refused to run a campaign and administration that provided any meaningful progressive vision and then he dropped out only after it was too late.

Of course he does.

edit -to be fair to Biden his administration did get a lot of wins, such as some great environmental policies... but I am talking about a broad vision and rhetoric. An actual alternative to Republican visions of catastrophe that challenge the flawed assumptions at the heart of conservatism. Exhibit A) is how Biden and other powerful establishment democrats never really pushed back on Republican narratives about immigration which opened the door further for Trump to dial things up to 11 in his cruelty towards immigrants in his second term

The senile old man who indicated he'd be a 1-term president then refused to give up the reins when he should have, which stopped voters from actually being able to choose their leading candidate and disenfranchised a lot of people. That was a choice HE made.

When he doddered his confused old ass out onto the debate stage on June 27, 2024 he handed the country back to trump.

He's a piece of shit who deserves to be forgotten.
