I understand your perspective to an extent, but I think, that Biden did do the right thing here. Yes, I am sure he felt pressure, but in my opinion, much of that pressure was justified. I like and admire President Biden, but his age is an issue and has been for a long time. It's the main issue and it became the overwhelming issue being, fairly or not, only applied to Biden and not Trump. Sure, the media has made lots of weird missteps and often applies double standards. Sure, the Democrats and the party can be disorganized and, frankly, sometimes, bad, but here the Democrats can use this moment to rally behind Biden is a different way-- he is not a god or a 'man of destiny'. ( that's some scary shit, there). No, he is just a man who rose to the occasion (several times) unlike ALL the leaders in the Republican party. The Democrats are not a cult of personality in the thrall of a dangerous demagogue. I think that's a good thing. Now, let's do this thing.
