      No one outside of the donor’s circle liked Biden.

      No one inside the donor’s circle liked Biden. That’s why his fundraising tanked out in those last months. Kamala’s surge in donations was in large part the mega-donor class sitting on their wallets until Biden was ushered off the ticket.

      He was a chump block to the progressives & the left

      He was a chump block to keep Bernie off the ticket in 2020. But there was no real risk of a Berniecrat running for office in 2024. The party has been moving steadily to the right since Carter and spent this primary cycle knocking out any half-decent progressive without a seven figure war chest.

      Now he’s just dead weight. Everyone is happy he’s gone.
