The Democratic circular firing squad
is looking particularly energetic right now. Unnamed sources are choking the media reporting tales like "it's not IF but WHEN" and "it's almost at the end", referring to President Biden's reelection campaign.
I wonder if the good folks so eager to turn on one of the most successful Presidents in many, many years have given serious thought to who will be our party's candidate if President Biden yields to their pressure and ends his candidacy? Are we mere mortals expected to just accept that the mantel automatically belongs to Kamala? If not her, then who will be the standard bearer of our party in 102 days? Names don't seem to spring readily to mind, much less assuring any type of consensus by us, the actual rank and file Democrats.
Have the Democratic decision makers given any thought to the possible reaction of millions of rank and file Democrats who fervently support President Biden if he is unceremoniously forced out in favor of someone more to the taste pf those powerful decision makers? It's certainly far from an impossibility that many of these people might choose to merely decline to cast their vote for President while executing the remainder of their ballot. And what about the critical "undecided" or "swing" voters we keep hearing are so vital in statistically tied election polls. Do they suppose that these folks will be persuaded to vote Democratic in the face of a never before seen ousting of a candidate?
Our party has always had the penchant for dangerous introspection that can easily turn into a circular firing squad. As popular saying is, "Democrats fall in love" while Republicans "fall in line". IMO, it's time now for us to be a little more like the Republicans and to now fall in line behind our highly qualified and highly successful President who was elected our candidate in a formal primary process. We need to be , giving him our full, unbridled support as he continues to campaign for reelection. The circular firing squad should return their rifles to the armory for another occasion at some other time.
