It's hard to be absolutely sure, but I think the chances of him winning were very, very slim.
I know his internal numbers were supposedly very bad, but it's also hard to say how that stacks up with the fact that Kamala is also POC and a woman and we know that is definitely still a factor, unfortunately.
My guess - and without actually holding an election, that's all it can be - is that his results would have been worse than Kamala's.
Note: I do not agree with the Orange Cheeto; merely posting the meme.
I never stopped feeling angry that such an epic moron was elected president and used it to enable a genocide.
I love Joe Biden, always have. It seems that he lost a great deal of cognitive function over the last 8 years, and this fact was hidden from everyone outside of his circle, could have been his decision, but again loss of cognition means it also could not have been. The fact that Merritt Garland was sandbagged by Republicans which ended his nomination for Supreme Court Justice at the end of Obamas term, made him an excellent nominee for Attorney General and head of The Department of Justice, but the way he was slow rolling the prosecutions for Trump, when they should have been layups, and the way Garland couldn't adjust and overcome the Trump lawyer onslaught of tactics to delay, doomed Bidens chances at a second term, and American democracy itself. Joe as President was responsible to oversee Garland, and they both dropped the ball in bringing Trump to justice, but the buck stops with Joe. If there's anything at all to be angry about, it's Joe should have protected us from Trump returning, and he failed spectacularly, and now it's all over.
Garland did what he was hired to do. He slow walked the investigations so Biden could run as second worst to trump a second time.
