Whoever wants to run for president, go for it. I want options regardless of incumbency and I bet most would agree. Biden got strongarmed out of there and I can appreciate why he's mad - he played their game for decades and when it was finally his turn, he actually did win, unlike the greatest woman who's ever lived, Hillary. It's sad that he got this old before he won, but from his perspective, he did everything right. These cloaked nameless people in the smoke-filled room still wanted him out when he needed their support, just like everyone who came before him.
The RNC was self-destructing when Donald Trump was gaining popularity among Republicans and their other options were Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, both whom despised the RNC as much as Trump. Their combined support was easily a majority of Republicans.
The people ought to be far more powerful than these idiotic committees.

Biden (and this is speculation) likely suppressed challengers to his candidacy this year. So on the one hand I don’t think you can be upset that people didn’t back you when you used your power to ensure you wouldn’t have a fight.
Especially when Bidens return to prominence was through the exposure Obama game him.
So while I agree the back room politics are not the best for democracy we live in an environment where they exist so for someone whose team weaponized these mechanisms to be upset when they move against him is kind of hypocritical.
I think it’s perfectly reasonable to be upset when confronted with data that showed you couldn’t win and that the people you believed were backstabbing you were right.
Bidens mistake was he quit believing or never believed he was a 1 term president.
