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.

I really agree with you. But anyone who has presidential aspirations needs to get over suppression from someone who they probably have a lot in common with policy-wise, and do it.
These clowns were freaking out that Bernie Sanders might be the nominee and wanted Biden (note how all moderate Democrats like Klobuchar and Mayor Pete got out around the same day). Then they're like, "Thanks for your service Joe! You're too old and so is Bernie. We need you to get out."
It's just really sad and I completely understand why he's upset.
