I don't even call it an insurrection, because such might be laudible against a real tyrant that had seized power, as is happening today in Kazakhstan and has been tried in countless other countries recently where democracy had been stolen or never allowed. But this was a tyrant using lies to turn everything upside down in the heads of fools like Classic Xer so that a demagogue tyrant could seize power. It failed, but still threatens to happen again.
Regarding Biden: he's too old to run again ... period! It's not that he can't do the work. It's more a case of being too old to inspire the youth, and they need a huge jump-start. Who can do it is open to discussion. They rallied around Bernie, the oldest guy in the race, last time. It isn't physical age so much as emotional age, and Biden is a Silent through and through. I suspect it will be a firebrand next time, and good luck getting him or her elected. Then again, we need to see that kind of passion and thought, or nothing will ever change.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
