It was a coup d'etat to use him as a puppet for as long as they did, and still are.

ot long after President Joe Biden announced he was stepping aside from the presidential race Sunday, pro-Trump social media influencers had settled on one line of attack: that Democrats had carried out a coup against their own president. [snip]
From people who support Donald Trump, the man who tried to steal the 2020 election, this is obviously a ridiculous and absurd thing to say. Yet it echoes a self-interested argument made by Biden himself just two weeks ago, when he argued that him dropping out would be tantamount to ignoring democracy. “The voters — and the voters alone — decide the nominee of the Democratic Party,” Biden wrote in a July 8 letter. “Not the press, not the pundits, not the big donors, not any selected group of individuals, no matter how well intentioned.”
What’s unfolded in the two weeks since has been a steadily intensifying pressure campaign from various members of the press, pundits, donors, and current and former elected officials aimed at making Biden quit. Some of these entreaties were made in private — and, when Biden didn’t appear to be listening, more spilled out into public view. They argued that he couldn’t win and, eventually, he listened.
There may arguably be something a bit uncomfortable about the role of Democratic power brokers and donors in pushing Biden aside after his primary win. But while they’re doing this without voters’ explicit say, they’re doing so in an attempt to (belatedly) respond to voters’ beliefs that Biden is too old to serve another term.
So it may be undemocratic in practice, but in a sense it’s democratic in intention. Because the party isn’t avoiding an election, they’re trying to win one, by picking a nominee who (they hope) can win more people’s votes.

The Enemedia spread their chunks of gaslighting lies like an overflowing sewer.
Exactly! 40% of Democrats said they wanted Biden to run. However, the Democrats could run Mao or Hitler as their candidate and idiotic Democrats would vote for them in droves…all the while complaining that Trump is literally Hitler.
It’s a dumb argument.
Its really not undemocratic... the guy is a disaster. For these folks to have propped him up for these last 4 years , defending his horrible politics , his obvious dementia and the clear family related drama/corruption is truly a scumbag move ... lying to people and presenting a false sense of reality to the public is what is actually undemocratic.
The argument is pure gibberish.
The Dems and MSN (but I repeat myself) think that just because they say it then it must be true.
Trending now, “backstabbing traitors” to describe Dem leaders and donors with gave Joe the bums rush out the door
Haha, the 14 million disenfranchised voters who voted for him are furious
Here’s the commiecrat propaganda apparatus bs machine spooling up. It’s not dictatorship when we do it cuz we’re the “democratic” party.
So the end justifies the means?

Anybody at MSN want to ask a real question?
How about when is the last time a Democratic Party Primary for POTUS was clean and mattered?
2024—Nope, substituted. Nobody will have voted for them.
2020—Nope, Bernie was maneuvered out.
2016—Nope, See Seth Rich, Crowdstrike, Wikileaks, and the DNC servers about how Bernie Sanders was cheated.
2012-—Probably was Barack Obama.
Basically the Registered Democrats get no real say, by voting, for who the next ‘Boss’ is going to be. That’s the “Democracy” that they are trying to protect.
Pretzel logic is an expression used to describe inconsistent, illogical thinking that doesn’t stand up. It is similar to the term illogic. The expression is used to describe someone’s “twisted reasoning”.
Who are going to believe comrade,e or your lying eyes?
riiiiggghhhhtt. Their voters only voted for him
It was a coup d'etat to use him as a puppet for as long as they did, and still are.
“MSM pushing the Deep State line.”
The MSM is a MAJOR part of the Deep State. (control the narrative...)
They act like it even matters what people want. Don’t they know the history of the Dim party?
