In the twisted carnival of American politics, the Democratic Party’s recent epiphany — acknowledging the frailty of their chosen champion — arrives not as a revelation but as a punchline to a joke long in the telling.
The 2024 presidential campaign, a spectacle of denial and delusion, culminated in a debate performance by President Biden that was less a display of leadership and more a public unraveling. Yet, the party’s decision to persist, to prop up a man visibly diminished, wasn’t born of strategy but of the sheer, unadulterated to maintain power. Biden was still useful.
Now, as the dust settles and the consequences crystallize, the question looms: Why should the electorate place trust in a party that so brazenly disregarded reality? The answer, as it stands, is as elusive as coherence in a campaign speech delivered past bedtime.
“Politics is the art of controlling your environment.” The Democrats, it seems, have lost their grip — not just on the environment, but on the narrative, the electorate, and perhaps, their very souls.
