No unique link to the plan – Trump is inevitable absent an October Surprise – Dems just squandered their democracy pitch

I am honestly shocked at how the 2024 Democratic Party coup of President Joe Biden went down. The president has clearly been physically and mentally impaired for years now, as some of us repeatedly pointed out when it was less fashionable to do so. The much-discussed CNN presidential debate revealed precisely no new information for anyone paying even the slightest attention. And in a presidential election that will once again come down to the Rust Belt — and the states of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, in particular — it is bizarre for Democrats to swap out the man who talks ceaselessly about his hardscrabble Scranton upbringing for a left-wing Californian with more baggage than an Acela train.

This coup is not going to work out well for the Democrats. The purported party of “democracy” is now so committed to ignoring a near-presidential assassination and depicting their opponent as an existential threat to “democracy” that they are deposing their very own democratically elected nominee — after shutting down their presidential primary process from all even semi-plausible competition.

All of this is, to put it gently, farcical beyond belief. No reasonably independent-minded voter can possibly look at this shitshow of a situation and conclude that the Democratic Party is, at this moment, anything but a hypocritical laughingstock. Nothing is a given, we are still a long ways out from November, and it is impossible to know what kind of “October surprise” Democrats have up their sleeves, but Donald Trump and JD Vance remain in good shape to be sworn in as POTUS and VPOTUS come January 2025.
