he's entitled and has hurt his Dad more than he's helped over the years. Needs to just STFU. Dems were pushed into a corner because Joe didn't do the right thing and announce he wasn't going to run LIKE HE PROMISED he would. He went back on that promise and that's a cold, hard fact. At that point, the Democratic Party owed him nothing. He screwed them over just like Ruth Ginsburg screwed over the Dems and Obama by overstaying her welcome by YEARS. Turns out selfish, power hungry folks don't just exist on the right in this country. I LOVE and supported Biden and Ginsburg but the fact of the matter is they were both selfish and both ended up hurting their party and this country tremendously. Truth hurts.
