I Held My Nose and Voted for Joe Biden
I would never in a million years have voted for Donald Trump. Period. I’m not going to talk about the good work that Biden did for the working class and the economy. I think his loss came down to one word perception.
No one wanted Joe Biden for a second term, not even Democrats like myself. When he lost the debate to Trump the hand writing was all over the wall and no amount of Formula 409 was going to scrub it off. Refusing to bow out immediately, heck, refusing to keep his promise not to stand for a second term threw the party into chaos and was the key to losing democratic fence sitters to Trump. I think it comes down to the fact that (unanticipated by the Harris campaign) there was a significant number of “demographically democratic” voters that did the opposite of what I did — they held their nose and voted for Trump…
