President Joe Biden announced late Sunday that he is pardoning his son, Hunter Biden, who has faced federal prosecution for gun and tax-related charges. The move comes after multiple statements by the president along the campaign trail saying he would not do so if his son is convicted.

Wait, it was a surprise that Joe Biden was going to be old in 2024?

Nope. It didn't matter. Wouldn't have mattered.

My point is that the party had 4 years to find some electable candidates and I have to assume malice because what happened was absolutely predictable.

I'm convinced the candidate absolutely didn't matter. It was a referendum on how people thought Biden did with the economy. End of story. I fucking wish it was deeper than that.
