1. I think the real plan was for Kamala to do it. But since she didn’t win, what was he left to do? I think it was an unfair question for the media to have asked him. He got boxed in. Had he said yes, I will pardon my son, imagine the frenzy.

2. There is no justifiable reason to vote Trump.

3. Yes they did a lot. I think the failure in Gaza put a dark cloud over everything.

4. He lied and people believed his lies.

1. No issues with pardoning Hunter. It would be an unrealistic moral high ground not to before losing power. It’s basic family protection and common sense. The reactions could be somewhat of a projection of (1) how easy it is for Biden to take action and not doing more for everyone else and (2) people feeling like he let them down on other things he vowed to do or not do.

2. Democrats are not far left. The far left hates the Democrats. Democrats lost because they have alienated the far left, and have for a long time. Which has only made the far left more extreme. It’s the Republicans that associate the far left with the Democrats (and it works).

3. I didn’t really pay much attention to what was done but I feel like it was a snooze fest. I agree with what was stated in the article. They’ve always maintained the status quo which looks like stability aka no changes.

4. I was shocked that Trump won by so much and I still don’t know why. It’s a humbling and somber reminder. I think it’s a lot bigger than just the Democrats failing. Thats a tempting oversimplification. We have bigger issues.

1. I don't take any issue with Biden pardoning Hunter. I also wished that he'd taken some drastic measures and laid out some Executive Orders, for the rest of us on his way out.

2. I don't think Democrats were left enough tbh. Shockingly, the call to end the genocide against Palestine was treated like a far left issue, and few major dem politicians got behind that.

3. I'm happy for those who reaped the benefits of the Biden-Harris presidency, and wish more could've been done as it ended.

4. Trump won because he spoke directly to his bases irrational fears, did not clarify all the ways he couldn't fix them or why they were wrong. Unlike Dems he was willing to forgo bygone notions of "class" and "civility" to get the votes. He won by going low and stoking stupidity.
