I'm a moderately liberal democrat. In the run up to the last election, we were forced to pick the candidate most likely to defeat Trump, not the one we liked best. There were certainly younger choices, highly qualified and with great ideas, but it was very unlikely any of those would garner enough votes to defeat Trump, and that was considered the most important thing we had to do. I hope that one of those others that were in the race will make another run at it in 2024, and Joe Biden has the decency to bow out. But he's done his job through some of the most trying circumstances any president in history has had to face; he hasn't shirked his duties, he hasn't run off to play golf, he's stuck it out. And he's not to blame for being old and sometimes exhausted, so give him a break.

Love me some bluegrass!! Thanks for that Matt. (Little dude playing stand up bass in the back is sublime)

As to your political take....not a ton to disagree with, however I would like to point out that the people staffing the current administration are exponentially better than the previous one. I take solace in knowing that at least they aren't complete and/or total morons. Also, so far, no psychopathic Steven Miller types, so we have that going for us, which is nice!

As soon as the electorate begins to care more about the future of the country and less about the latest meme/trend/celeb/sport/ confab, I am sure we will be fine. (not holding breath)
