Well-argued as always, Jim. Let's not lose sight of the example set by NZ PM Ardern. Her departure for personal reasons was greeted with a fair amount of skepticism and disbelief (must be an ulterior motive...she's unpopular and knows she'd lose the next election...she can't stand the heat). I take her at her word and applaud her for offering very human reasons for stepping aside. Trump and Biden, despite the massive contrast between them, see themselves as macho guys and with macho guys, quitting is for losers. Trump should go because he's just terrible. I voted for Biden and respect him, but your article is certainly food for thought.

As always, Jim Strock is spot-on in his assessment of the urgent need for new leadership in our country. This piece is brilliant in its concise, powerful points, backed up by highly-relevant historical analogies. Let's hope Biden, Trump and their backers take heed!
