High-ranking DNC officials and donors are in panic mode, primarily because they fear the risk of losing power and control, NOT because "Democracy" is at risk. However, the PEOPLE have spoken. Registered Democrats named Biden their nominee. 99% of the DNC delegates have already pledged support for Joe Biden. A handful of wealthy elites working through PAC's and SuperPAC's should not be able to subvert the will of the people, and disenfranchise millions of the voting electorate, simply too achieve the outcome that suits the powerful elites and keeps people like Schumer and Raskin in power. Democracy doesn't, (or at least, shouldn't), work that way. Did Biden have a bad night?? Sure did. But, the DNC has had 43 months to address Biden's mental acuity issues and find a viable candidate to run in 2024, and they did nothing but gaslight the public about Biden's health. Coincidentally, it is the Democrats who slammed the door shut on the idea of any primary debates. RFK, Jr., among many others wanted to primary Biden and the DNC would have no part of it! Seems to me that a few primary debates could have identified and exposed this issue months ago!! This problem is 100% self-inflicted. No sympathy....
Now, if he does decide to step down, what do they do about the cackler? The next 4 months are going to be turbulent and ugly.
