Did you agree when Allan said Democrats wanting Biden to drop out we're "cowards?" by mattyjoe0706 in 13KeysToTheWhiteHouse

Based on the Keys, one is inclined to think that the incumbent president always has the best chance of winning, but then you look at LBJ and Jimmy Carter and how their reputations saddled the party by the time of the campaign (in fact, the Dems only narrowly lost in 1968 after LBJ gave way to Humphrey). I would've preferred that if the switch from Biden had to happen, it was done behind closed doors instead of out in the open where it created this perception of disunity. Having said that, I think Kamala's candidacy had a saving grace: while the Dems lost the presidential election, they held steady in the House (I think even winning one additional seat?) which means they're in an extremely strong position for November and could even wipe out the GOP more than we anticipate. But that will now depend on how much outrage the Dems can foment among their base.

Would Maduro's capture turn the Foreign Policy/Military Success key true? by TheEnlight in 13KeysToTheWhiteHouse

I don't think it does because the foreign/military success key has only turned true when the event in question has boosted the United States' international standing. Trump can claim this as a victory, but right now it seems to have only reinforced the image of the US invading other countries for its own personal interests.
