Ultimately, at this point it boils down to a choice: either abandon the principles of democracy and cling to power, or transfer power peacefully to the next government. Biden and Harris ain't gonna do option 1, nor should they. We should have to face the consequences of our idiotic actions. So, since they're going to peacefully transfer power, at this point, it's all about preserving whatever shreds of their own legacy they've got left. And to whinge and moan at this point would be beneath their dignity.
They lost. They're adults. They're bummed about it, but they're going to keep a stiff upper lip and not degrade themselves.
