You've made the mistake thinking that this is about democracy and the American people, in reality it's about his ego and more than a dash of creeping dementia.

The man is living decades in the past. He thinks the GOP and Dems are still working together for the same corporate goals, he thinks hes dealing with Golda Meir's Israel, he thinks he has 50 years to deal with climate change.

Biden is just out of touch with reality and is too stubborn to listen to anyone telling him he's about to drive the family van into a crowd of pedestrians because "I've been driving for 60 years! I know what I'm doing, stop trying to influence me!"

he spent four years telling us a president can’t do anything.

Which is even more upset that the SCOTUS just ruled that the President can pretty much do whatever the fuck they want. Imagine if we had a White House with balls and not a octogenarian Sundowner.

And yet they won't replace the VP either. For the most important election of our lives you'd think they'd be trying harder to win it

I find it interesting that it’s always the “adults in the room” aka “the people in power” and their allies that run to the favorite news outlet and let you know “oh it’s far far too late to put anyone else in power.”

Really? I mean maybe, but also let’s not pretend like the DNC and Biden campaign and all their operatives are just neutral observers opining about the objective logistics.

In any other election year you wouldn’t have a candidate before the convention, so somehow it’s not too late in all those elections. And what exactly do we need all the time for? No one ever seems to say why it’s too late, just take it on faith that it’s too late.

If they replaced Biden it’s not like they would have to start from scratch. They have raised funds and they have staffers and campaign offices, as long as you don’t actively dismantle that election infrastructure I’m sure some enterprising intern can find the call script and strike through “Biden” and write in the new candidates name.

It’s not like they would pick a candidate with 0 name recognition, the person would have to be someone in the party they think could win. So it’s not like you need some massive lead time so people can get to know the candidate.

You toss that infrastructure to a younger candidate and what’s the actual thing they won’t be able to wrangle in time?

It’s not too late, the convention could cause a replacement. But we lack good alternatives.
