They're loyal to the party. Nothing else.

A top advisor to former President Joe Biden said the Democratic Party "melted down" after his poor performance in the June 2024 debate against President Donald Trump and insisted Biden should have remained the party's candidate.
Biden's rough performance and weak voice at the CNN Presidential Debate sparked immense fear about his re-election odds, and the left's top leaders called on him to withdraw from the race.
Biden was replaced as the Democratic candidate by Vice President Kamala Harris less than a month later on July 21. She lost to Trump in the 2024 presidential election.
"Now, lots of people have terrible debates," former Biden senior advisor Mike Donilon said during a discussion at Harvard University. "Lots of people have terrible debates. Usually the party doesn't lose its mind, but that's what happened here. It melted down."
CNN and the BBC ran headlines calling the performance "disastrous" and "incoherent."
"If Joe Biden loses November’s election, history will record that it took just 10 minutes to destroy a presidency," CNN senior reporter Stephen Collinson wrote in an article. "It was clear a political disaster was about to unfold as soon as the 81-year-old commander in chief stiffly shuffled on stage in Atlanta."
Collinson went on to describe Biden giving the weakest performance in televised debate history.
New York Times columnist and Biden supporter Thomas Friedman wrote the debate made him "weep" and called on Biden to step aside.
"I cannot remember a more heartbreaking moment in American presidential campaign politics in my lifetime — precisely because of what it revealed: Joe Biden, a good man and a good president, has no business running for re-election," Friedman wrote.

The party didn’t meltdown, it was caught in a massive lie.
“Why the highly educated and comparatively wealthy would want these stupid people at the helm is perplexing.”
Maybe they are or were in some way profiting from the late USAID flow of money.
If Friedman really believes that Joe Biden is either a “good man” or a “good president” then Friedman is an absolute moron.
NOOOOOOO—BIDEN WAS IN MELT-DOWN FOR OVER 30 YEARS
“Why the highly educated and comparatively wealthy would want these stupid people at the helm is perplexing.”
I’m old enough to say this.
Wealth does not necessarily equal intelligence.
Any idiot can get a MA in business. Try to earn a BS in computer science! Guess who will make more money?
Charm and congeniality gets you further than raw intellect.
I was a Boeing engineer before DIE happened and destroyed the company reputation. You don’t get that job if you are stupid, you also won’t get rich!
NOOOOOOO—BIDEN WAS IN MELT-DOWN FOR OVER 30 YEARS
THE COVER UP FINALLY FAILED—IN SPECTACULAR FASHION
Even Robin Williams recognized it back in 2009.

They’ve lost the ability to distinguish good from evil.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>...
I see comparable comments fairly often but must respectfully express a conflicting opinion. For the most part, though most people have the ability to make that distinction they actually DESPISE the good and WILLINGLY embrace the evil. That is man’s nature, which is why the English philosopher Thomas Hobbes described the lawless natural state of mankind as one of “continual fear and danger of violent death, and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.”
Biden was forced out, there were legal implications to campaign funds. Biden knows Harris is a clown, unfit to govern, that is why he chose her.once Biden named Harris as his successor the Democrats were screwed. During the debate prep, people had to notice Biden’s severe decline.
