If that is the case, there is nothing noble about it. I'm not sure I said nobility or reading between the lines had anything to do with it. You said one vote doesn't matter, I said, in practice, it's not one vote. Shrug. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, for clarity, exactly what are you saying? It often feels like I cannot question what anyone says without them making some kind of competition/fight out of it. I was simply saying that A single vote from Carter isn't perhaps what it seems on the face of it. Do you actually disagree with that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let's not pointlessly blow up this thread with an argument. You made an interesting point about symbolism. Who cares at the end of the day friend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seems he (or his family) are almost completely sure he'll be gone by the time there's a new president sworn in in January, because it might otherwise look pretty unconventional to have an (also clocking on) former president take centre stage at the funeral of a deceased ex-president. Biden was the first Senator to support Carter; they have a long history. It looks natural for Biden to read the eulogy. I believe Carter himself wants to stay alive for this vote. That fits his belief system and personality. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
