It’s nutty how ruthless the DNC is compared to the RNC, which couldn’t even stop a Trump. — Mikie
What happened to Sanders during 2016 was pretty wild. Hands down he would have won, but, the Clinton's wanted it their way and look what we got... — Shawn
Operatives at the very highest levels of the Democratic Party threatened Joe Biden with forcibly removing him from office unless he stepped down, sources told The Post.
The well-orchestrated “palace coup” to stop the faltering president seeking re-election has been in place for weeks, but stubborn Biden fought against it every step of the way, a source close to the Biden family told The Post Monday.

removing a presumptive nominee, forcing him to step aside, and replacing him with someone else isn’t. — NOS4A2
He wasn't removed, or threatened with the noose :rage: He was persuaded to retire rather than contest and made a principled decision in the interests of the greater good (although in my view about 6 months too late.)
I think it's utterly hilarous that Mike Johnson is threatening to sue the Democratic Party to force them to bring Biden back. They're upset over the $10million they spent on Biden attack ads and want their money back. Hilarious.

An apt comparison, but even rabid jackals, never mind healthy ones, form 'packs' or 'tribes'. As in 'a pack of wild dogs'. Jackals are canids. — BC
The question should be, "Is he too cognitively impaired to BOTH run for president and be president?" There's a big difference between managing the job for the 5 months and managing the job for 53 more months, should he have been reelected. — BC
I was in favor of him NOT running for another term before the famous debate. Both Biden and Trump are too old, and Trump has even more cognitive problems, particularly with the reality situation, than Biden. — BC
Kamela has more than enough on her plate successfully campaigning, never mind trying to become an experienced incumbent in just a few months. — BC
Some are calling it a coup. — fishfry
Certainly if you saw this plot play out in some corrupt foreign country you'd call it what it is. — fishfry
The last thing he said was that he is in the race to win it. Then we saw him creaking slowly up a flight of airplane stairs, and then someone posts his resignation letter on his X account, which is known to be run by staffers and not personally used by Joe. An image is flying around social media of his signature on his four recent executive actions, which do not match the signature on his letter. The letter does not bear the presidential seal. No photograph or video exists of him signing it. Then he disappeared totally for five days, officially recovering from covid. — fishfry
If Biden is too impaired, even temporarily, to perform the duties of his office, the public has a right to know. And if he's not impaired, why haven't we even seen a still photograph of him in five days, let alone live video. — fishfry
But what did happen to Biden? — fishfry
This is the guy who got fourteen million votes in the Democratic primaries, and allegedly eighty one million in the 2020 general election. — fishfry
I don't want to hear anyone telling me that Donald Trump is a threat to Democracy again. — fishfry
The back-room party honchos decide what they want, and screw their own voters. — fishfry
I can see your point. But I still think that incumbency is very powerful. And if Joe is in as bad shape as he appears to be, it would be better for the country and certainly better for Kamala to just 25A the guy and be done with it. — fishfry
Biggest fascist and hypocrite on the site projects yet again. — Mikie
All I can do is accuse others of that which I am guilty. — NOS4A2
It may well have been a deep fake. — fishfry
