17. I said "other"

Because I didn't want him to stand down initially, but the more Democrats that came out against him, the more ammunition Republicans could have used against Biden in the Autumn lead up to the election...so he was basically kneecapped. He almost had no choice because reps turned their back on him, so he likely could never win.

Which sucks, but it was the smartest move at this point if Dems want to win. Total back stabbing.
