An observation about the Lincoln Project [View all]
File it under "Credit where credit is due."
Not only are they openly attacking a president of their own political party.
Not only are they absolutely shredding Donald Trump while doing so.
They understand that the choice Americans face in November literally is binary, something Green Party voters refuse to comprehend.
The Lincoln Project didn't recruit some more respectable Republican to run against Trump, the way that Evan McMullin was recruited in 2016. They didn't unite behind pushing recent former Republican Justin Amash to run against Trump as a Libertarian. They aren't pulling a Mitt Romney by saying Republicans can write in a Jeb Bush or John Bolten or anyone else instead of voting for Trump. They are literally and specifically boosting Joe Biden.
And they don't even do so begrudgingly. Some of their ads go out of their way to praise Joe Biden personally as the type of leader America needs now. They do so undoubtedly with full knowledge that a Biden presidency will advance a number of policy initiatives that they stand in opposition to. They also do so knowing that their praise of Biden can only help Joe Biden increase his popularity with a broad cross section of American voters, which will strengthen his hand down the road if and when America is fortunate enough to return to partisan politics as it existed before Donald Trump.
They do so because they understand that the only one standing between Donald Trump and four more years of him as president is Joe Biden, and so they welcome Joe Biden's victory. And that is putting Country above Party, and that is worthy of respect.
