The question of whether Joe Biden could hold out against political pressure from the media, donors, Obama and influential figures across the party has been answered.
He couldn’t.
The donor coup succeeded. Democracy is dead, long live democracy.
His campaign people had kept insisting that he was running until the last minute when his account tweeted a statement that he was abandoning his campaign. The whole seemed reminiscent of the palace coup against Japan’s Emperor Hirohito after the bomb dropped. Clearly there were multiple factions at work, but the power players, led by the party’s donors, won out and Biden, sick and isolated, weakly crumbled.
His Twitter account, rather than in any personal appearance, announced the news and endorsed Kamala, thus cutting off any plans for a ‘blitz’ primary.
Lots of other questions however remain to be answered.
Biden’s letter states that he’ll give some sort of speech later this week. Expect some brief, rambling, confused, and semi-bitter remarks.

The legal question of who can and can’t appear on the ballots. Some Republicans in more liberal states will likely be more ‘gentlemanly’ about it which Democrats would never do in their place if Trump had to drop out and Vance were to step in. If Biden is unfit to campaign, why is he still fit to be president?
And that is the question that urgently needs to be answered.
Over the past few weeks, Dems and their media have laid out an argument (previously made by Republicans) that Biden is unfit on account of his mental state to be president.
So why is he still fit to remain in office?
When a small collection of donors have that much clout, is it time to start calling them oligarchs?
Did the electric bill at Walter Reed Morgue bust their budget??
A Black Woman President?????
BWAhahahahahahaha
Joe was the only one who could save Democracy! He said so himself.
They had a Biden’s word on it.

The only negative about biden being replaced is whoever it is will now being able to fake unity and niceness.

The communists depend on the oligarchs. The democrats say this is healthy.
I think removing him actually gives Democrats access to all ballots but I’m not sure.
It’s not like Biden has actually been running the country and whoever has been will continue. It would be better to make them fight for ballot position in every state. It will take time money and organization and will take volunteers time if they have to scramble.
Honestly if I thought someone was going to be assassinated I thought they would do in Biden. Then they would have had the sympathy vote and a clear road ahead.
What an ill-informed analogy.
This involved a few men outside his principal advisors in the Privy Council. After he spoke the "Voice of the Crane" and dictated on a phonograph record for his address to the nation they attempted to grab it.
The Democrat Soviet took The Tater out to his Delaware dacha and let him listen to the news that he's not running.
And the Rutabaga-In-Chief also found out that he is endorsing vice president "Big Gulp".
“...When a small collection of donors have that much clout...”
Yeah, that’s a yuge problem with “Our Democracy”.
If she had any self respect, she'd refuse. She'd be a fool to accept the nomination. Apparently she has no self respect... re her reputation.
I think she thinks she’s highly qualified.
Yes. I do too. ;)
Funny how all the DemonRats are praising FJB for once again unselfishly putting his country as he always has. Total hoarse Shiite.
Joe is more popular this afternoon than he was this morning ...
His % has gone up from 34 to 39...
