After reading all the comments on here and all of our social media, we don't need an official poll. Even the staunchest of Democrats are now saying the same thing that many of us have been saying for over 4 years.
Unless Obama personally drags him behind the woodshed I don't see him dropping out. His hubris is too strong, and his identity is too connected to his political career. This was never about the country. It was always exclusively about Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, and Joe Biden's egos.
No one - I mean absolutely no one - runs for President without a high level of ego and narcissism. Who the fuck thinks they are best suited to "lead the free world"? No one with an ounce of humility.
I'm sure he is not entirely immune. Nobody is, but I also firmly believe in Bernie's ability to put the good of others before himself when it truly matters most. I cannot say the same about Trump, Hillary, or Biden.
You are blinded by hero worship if you think his ego wasn't at play. I like the man, I like his politics, but come on man, get real. He wasn't falling on a sword, he was running for the highest office in the land with millions of devoted supporters cheering love to him 24/7. No one is immune from the ego boost that provides and it will warp ones perspective no matter who you are.
Yeah, I'm so sick and tired of people delicately tiptoeing around these people because "whatabout their LEGACY". I can assure there are very few Americans that GAF about Biden's so-called legacy, but we keep having to play this stupid game.
Again, I'll be voting for him if he's in the general. But I want the Democrats to win and I'm not too sure we aren't royally fucked if it's him on the ticket.
