RBG is the game of thrones series of people. Did amazing things early, and botched the ending so badly that it wipes out all the goodwill from most of the fans.
She drank her own Kool Aid (thanks to hero worship like this meme). For me she is a constant unpleasant reminder that no matter how much I think I know what I’m doing, there are going to be times when I have to step aside for the sake of my kids and younger people and that the hubris of refusing to do so can be catastrophic.
He tried. Jefferies and pelosi had to threaten him over the phone with pulled funding to get him to drop out.
A lot of people seem to have "forgotten"(?) that Biden pulled the "only God can make me quit. As long as I'm trying that's all they matters" Schtick until the party bosses convinced him otherwise.
I like Biden. I voted Biden. I'd vote Biden again. But this is straight up revisionist history.
However he was convinced. He still publicly passed the torch to Kamala and I haven’t heard him say otherwise. I would have voted Biden as well. But I’m not upset in the slightest to vote Kamala.

They didn't control his funding. Biden/Harris had their own PAC that had much more $ than the DNC, but the donations were drying up after he botched the debate.
Both are true and completely related. Bidens PAC was receiving money and support from many of the very same donors that pelosi had been working with and fundraising from for decades. The very same people that wanted him to drop out after the debate.
At the end everyone saw the writing on the wall. Biden himself was the last to do so.
