I suppose Democrats committing election suicide is a fitting end to the republic.

Something I really did not imagine is an active fight where a large number of funders/elected officials/etc publicly jump ship and itās extremely obvious he needs to step aside and he refuses. Thatās got to be worst-case scenario and seems to be on the table.

Iāve asked before and donāt believe I got a straight answerā¦ Can someone please explain why itās so goddamn important to him that he serve a 2nd term? Iāve heard everything from his ego to his wife wanting it. I know the job has some perks, but are they really that great? Theyāll get secret service for life and a presidential pension. I donāt get why heās fighting it this hard
I donāt think its any deeper than our brainās attraction to sunk costs. He worked like 50 years to become president. He canāt just give it up once he got there. How could he justify putting all that work in otherwise?

Narcissism plus all the people around him are self interested to keep him in.

Is it really totally impossible the delegates go rogue? Heās staring down the barrel of a historic curb stomping.
He looked at the alternatives and decided he had a better chance of winning.
Old people also donāt like admitting they are old. They will do anything to rationalize away the loss of their ability to think and, frankly, exist. Itās like the most basic of human instincts.

A corpse being the best alternative amongst the existing EDem ranks may actually be true.

He is selfish
I guess. Maybe itās because I play poker and tinker with stocks and sports betting, but I see very little to gain for him personally and everything to lose. If he wins, so what? He beat the worst possible presidential candidate in history. If he loses, he goes down in history as the sole reason America lost almost 250 years of democracy (assuming he really believes that) because he was too old and stubborn
If Iām him, I couldnāt step down quick enough. Maybe Iām selfish?

You also donāt have the type of personality that would ever seek out that position in the first place.

Youāre being too rational, plain and simple. Plenty of plausible theories itt.
