Ol' Joe put himself out there to run for POTUS for the "good of the country." Essentially Joe knew he was the only one voters would go for to block a criminal from having a second term.  I like Joe, but running for office, in my view, is rarely something done purely for "the good of the country". There's a lot more ego involved. Giving up an office - or resigning to prove a principle - are much closer, in my opinion, because that involves a real sacrifice - although I do admit that "putting oneself out there" does involve sacrifice and the risk of a bruised ego. Joe was the only one that could beat Trump in 2020. He knew it and we voters knew it. Joe did his job as far as I am concerned - keeping Trump away from the Oval Office. Many voted for Joe for this reason, not Joe's policies. Joe was never going to be a Bernie or Liz Warren as being a president. Joe is Joe, but more importantly, he helped us dodge a bullet.
Contrarian, extraordinaire
