Does anyone on DU have lingering frustrations over Joe's decision?

122. Not at all.

When I first heard about all the Dems calling for him to step down, I was pissed. They were hinting that they had someone who would absolutely beat Trump, but it wasn't Kamala Harris.

Then Joe handed it all over to her, and the magic began to happen. It was like we stepped out into the sun after living under clouds for so long. Joe Biden must have been thinking about this for a while. I think he realized no one was going to give him a chance, that he was being pushed at by too many people who would lie about him, ignore his accomplishments, and thus get Trump in again.

So, he sacrificed his own ambitions for the better of the country, and the party. He was so smart, and so brave, and we owe him everything. Everything. For picking Harris for VP. For showing her how to get Dem policies to work. How to be her true self and bloom (because I think it was always in her, she just needed a little help, a little belief, to show it). For being a good man who wants to help others rather than enrich himself.
