“By relinquishing potential power for the good of the nation, and in defiance of his own interests, Biden carved out his own legacy in stark contrast to Trump’s.”
So well said, Jill, and something I hadn’t thought of. The contrast between a man who voluntarily stepped away from the presidency (albeit under enormous duress from his political allies), and one who continues to question the legitimacy of the election he lost.
The contrast between parties is notable too. Democrats were reluctant to criticize their party leader, but they were able to do so and were not afraid to say what they thought when they disagreed with their leader.
A beautiful tribute to a decent man who gave up his dream for the good of our country. Yet he was another candidate run out of town by the DNC (remember Bernie?).... Still, it was the right decision that had to be painful to make. My fear is that even if Kamala can pull off a win, Trump will take it away from her.

I hadn't thought of it either, and what a powerful point. The difference between these two men could not be more stark.
