As a Brit I'm not immersed in American politics day to day. My (unqualified) take from a million miles away went:
"Oh, Joe Biden got elected thank god"
"Oh, he's promising to only serve one term, good that's completely sensible"
"Joe's running again? What? Could they not find anyone better? This isn't going to go well at all..."
"(during that debate) Oh well, looks like Trump's going to win.."
"Hey, Kamala looks like she would have won if this had been the plan from the beginning, not a sudden fumble when Biden's brain melted beyond repair on live TV.."
Seems like - from my point of view- the main culprit was hubris on Biden's part ever attempting a second term. And the inexplicable failure of the whole party to not force him out of that self destructive choice. Other candidates besides Kamala likely could have won, just seemed like any Dem candidate would be fatally undermined by starting a late campaign.
Well you see the Democrats are a gerontocracy and if they pushed him out then they could do the same to someone like Pelosi. Don't you know it's their god given right to die in office after years of going senile on live TV?
