decades of collective inaction by multiple administrations and thousands of people going in and out of political office isn't really something you can use to understand people's judgement the same way as a clear cut vote on taking one major action that one way or another was going to lead to thousands of deaths even in the most optimistic scenario.
But I guess if we look at decades of inaction as evidence for where people's judgement lies, then Biden was there for all those decades not taking aggressive action to contain Russia and China?

It looks like the delegates for Iowa will either be split three or four ways.

Both Harris and Warren went for that 'kind of stuff' - it did not work for them either

Death rattling from an overly eager politician realizing that his elected career is ending.
