I give more credence than the excellent panel to the consequences of Biden’s decrepit state. For four years he was rarely seen in an unguarded situation. And when he did appear, it wasn’t pretty. This had ramifications for democrats. 1)Dem Leaders knew of his condition but failed to get him to step aside early enough for others to seek the nomination and be vetted through the primary crucible. Harris would not have survived that process. 2) Because they waited they were stuck with Harris. Woke politics had much to do with the unwillingness to dump her. 3) they were left with an empty vessel as the democratic nominee. I guess that matters little when the primary campaign mantra of my democratic friends is “Trump has to be defeated at all costs.” 4) Dems tried to hide how empty she was by hiding her as they did Biden in 2000. Persuadable voters, however, weren’t snookered this time. 5) Many persuadable voters were not swayed by claims that Trump is a ”threat to democracy” especially when they witnessed the democrats undemocratic method of presenting their “choice.” I guess when your only campaign platform is “she’s not Trump” it matters little who you run as a candidate.
Relatedly, I am amazed at how many of my democratic friends had no issue with how they ended up with Harris foisted upon them. They deny being lied to about his condition. They excuse the delay moving him out and provide some interesting excuses (e.g. despite his presently low approval rating “he’s the only one to have defeated Trump.”)
