I Told You So
Well before the election of 5, November, 2024, I wrote that the Democratic Party should do a switch and drop both Biden and Harris. I said it sometime in the first six months of the Biden presidency when it became obvious that he was not capable le of being an effective executive. I aid it several more times in the course of his presidential term. I proposed that the party’s power brokers should look to the succession events of the Nixon administration back in the 1970s. I showed how they could replace first VP Harris and then President Biden with someone of their own choosing, and do it without having a primary or any real voter involvement at all. . . . . .and possibly get twelve years of the same hand picked administration as well.
The response was dismissive, often abusive. The party power brokers, and back room string pullers delayed and stalled on this, focusing instead on various ways ofpreventing former President Trump from ever holding office again. It is my view that this effort should have instead been focused on replacing, first VP Harris and then replacing President Biden with the Harris substitute. This misplaced effort continued well into the 2024 election cycle until President Biden’s s advancing cognitive disability could no longer be hidden\, dismissed or denied by anyone. In the end. “they” were forced to make the last minute switch to Harris without the fig leaf of Constitutionally sanctioned process. Everyone on the left had to say that Biden had “chosen to step aside” for the good of the party, when everyone knows that he was coerced. Everyone also knew that Harris was an abysmally suboptimal choice to replace Biden, but couldn’t say so in compliance with the DEI norms of the Democratic party. . In following this haphazard strategy, the party was saddled with Harris, ensuring a Trump win in November.
Tell me where I have gotten that wrong.
