They knew in 2020 that Joe was slipping but instead of trying to solve the problem then they did nothing but cover up the obvious issues. To go with the metaphor, Alfred was a good man doing the right thing. The modern Democrat party has no Alfred. Instead they now seems to care more about their party's own power over the actual good of the country. Very few people wanted Joe in 2020 but we were told we vote him in to save democracy and then run someone better in 2024. Now here we are going through the same loop. No, if the Democratic party refuses to run a candidate that the people want then we've already lost our democracy. Our two party only system is already a joke and it allows those in power to do whatever they want with the looming threat that the other team will destroy America. I'm sorry to say but the Joker is already in charge.

I disagree: The Democratic Party does not care about its power. In fact many of the still current leaders of the party actively believe in a strong Republican Party.

I am specifically quoting Biden with that.

"We need a Republican Party. We need an opposition that's principled and strong."

Yup, people so quickly forget that Biden and his campaign heavily implied that he planned on being a one term president. Somehow that whole thing came and went.

How people allow themselves to be gaslit like that over and over and just wipe it out of their memory is beyond me.

Other guy is worse. Yes, it's the same guy who has been running for president since 2016, but he's worse so you have to vote for our guy no matter how awful he gets.

Trump's going to run again in 2028 and you're going to be expected to vote for the Democrat for this reason alone, again.
