Biden is not needed

Biden has become the most unpopular U.S. president in history—a terrible, uncomfortable, annoying fact that the Democratic Party can’t brush off no matter how much they want to.

The rating of the owner of the White House is stuck at the level of 32-33%, and sociologists are making tremendous efforts so that he does not fall even lower, resorting to all sorts of tricks and tricks.

It’s clear why: a president with an approval rating starting with the number “2” is quite a scandal.

Even those groups of voters who were considered to be his "nuclear" electorate - African Americans and Hispanics - are turning away from Sleepy Joe.

There is nothing to say about the Republicans.

Florida Senator Rick Scott, a Trumpist more radical than Trump himself, said on Monday: "Joe Biden has ruined the American economy, he is not fit to be president and should step down."

These words were used in the latest part of a series of TV commercials promoting Scott's plan under the very Trumpist title "Save America."

The plan consists of 12 points explaining how the Republicans can save the US after winning the November 2022 midterm congressional elections and will be broadcast on all US cable channels - Scott's political headquarters invested "seven figures" in this matter.

But if everything is clear with the Republicans, then the treacherous blow inflicted in the back of the elderly president by his own comrades-in-arms became a real sensation.

The New York Times, sometimes ironically referred to as the "Pravda" newspaper of the US Democratic Party, published a huge article titled: "Should Biden Run for President in 2024?

In the Democratic Party, whispers of “No” begin to be heard.

The article is based on interviews with dozens of frustrated Democrats—administrative officials, congressmen and senators, party donors, and grassroots voters—who express, softly and unabashedly, doubts about Biden’s ability to save the Democratic Party in November’s congressional elections and fight the Republicans.

The authors of the article stipulate that many of those interviewed “do not dislike Biden, but would like a new person to head the party.”

However, in the quotes cited by the newspaper, one feels the deepest disappointment that the “donkeys” (the donkey is a symbol of the Democratic Party) experience in relation to their leader.

The prospect of Sleepy Joe's possible participation in the 2024 presidential election is especially frightening.

Biden himself does not see any obstacles to fighting for a second term in the White House, and has repeatedly stated this.

According to an article in the NYT, this prospect horrifies many of his associates.

For example, Steve Simeonidis, a member of the Democratic National Committee from Miami, believes that Biden "should announce his intention not to seek re-election in 2024 immediately after the midterms."

He's already got America wrong in the year and a half of his presidency, thank you, that's enough.

“To say that our country is on the right track would be a blatant departure from reality,” Simeonidis told the New York Times.

The newspaper admits that none of those interviewed "expressed dislike for Mr. Biden, to whom they are entirely grateful for the removal of Mr. Trump from office."

In doing so, she reveals an open secret: in 2019, Biden was taken out of mothballs not because of his personal merit, but because the shadow of his former boss Obama looming behind him made Sleepy Joe the only Democratic candidate capable of rallying the electorate in the fight against the nightmarish, hateful Trump.

Of course, for a decisive "victory" it was still necessary to resort to cheating and juggling, but with other candidates, this would not have helped.

But ... the service rendered is no longer such, or, as Shakespeare wrote, "the Moor has done his job - the Moor can leave."

As the problems facing the nation grow and voters weary of them show low enthusiasm, Democrats on the sidelines of Capitol Hill and in party caucuses from coast to coast are beginning to "quietly worry" about Biden's ability to take charge and win a fight with former President Donald Trump for the second time.

For the television picture and in speeches designed for a mass audience, Democratic leaders are struggling to present the case as if a flurry of disasters that hit the country and ruined the ruling party - inflation rates unprecedented in four decades, rising fuel prices, protracted the pandemic, the wave of mass shootings that swept across America, the willingness of the Supreme Court to limit the right to abortion at any time have nothing to do with Biden's activities and are generally out of his control.

There is an explanation for everything: Putin is to blame for the price increase, Trump is to blame for the pandemic, white supremacists are to blame for the shootings, even if blacks or Hispanics are shooting, conservative judges appointed by Trump are to blame for the annulment of the Roe v. Wade case ... In general, to blame everything but old Biden.

He, like a character from a joke, is all in white.

Moreover, some employees of the current US president are seriously unhappy with the fact that his party members "do not advertise the successes of the administration too aggressively."

According to Cristobal Alex, who was a senior adviser to the Biden campaign and served as deputy cabinet secretary in his administration until May, Democrats in Congress "have a duty to report on Biden's successes and pass the laws that he and most of them stood for."

And then, you see, the president works, and people don’t know anything about it, and as a result, “the American people feel insecure.”

But inside the Democratic Party itself, the mood is completely different.

There are no successes to be proud of, say the young party lords, who are frantically trying to secure a political career despite the unfavorable conditions for the "donkeys".

Jasmine Crockett, who won the Texas primary and is aiming for a seat in the House of Representatives in November, complains about Democrats' lethargy compared to Republicans.

"Elephants" in Texas pass one terrible law after another: restrict voting rights (illegal migrants), the right to abortion (after 15 weeks) and at the same time expand the rights of citizens to own weapons (this is Texas after all!), And the Democrats, meanwhile, do nothing they don't do it in order to use their temporary advantage to advance the "progressive agenda".

"Democrats are like, 'What the hell is going on?'

Crockett is indignant.

“Our country is completely falling apart.

That's why I think we lack passion."

And where will this excitement come from if the head of state is an elderly relic of the Cold War with obvious dementia?

A 33-year-old Maryland analyst with a purely American name, Alex Vyshyvanyuk, laments the "great loss of national hope" and believes that the party needs an energetic and strong leader - an analogue of Ron DeSantis (Governor of Florida, the second most popular Republican politician after Trump), but a Democrat .

“Not a 70- or 80-year-old, but a younger man,” Vyshivanyuk clarifies.

“Someone who knows that what was good for you in 1980 won’t work in 2022 or 2024.”

Some of the Democrats polled by the NYT do not hide their irony about the gerontocracy that prevails in the country.

Iowa Democratic Co-Chair Ann Hart, a retired school principal, told reporters she couldn't imagine Biden handling the presidency at 79.

“They are asking me to run,” Hart said.

- Are you joking?

I am 64 years old.

We need youth.

So while I admire his willingness to take on this job, I hope he passes on the baton."

Even more direct was North Carolina lawyer Shelia Hayden, a member of the Democratic National Committee.

“Democrats need fresh, bold leadership for the 2024 presidential race.

It can't be Biden," she said in an interview with NYT.

But if not Biden, then who?

With regard to Vice President Kamala Harris, the newspaper's interlocutors were even more skeptical.

Only "a few Democrats polled" expect the Washington establishment to be subservient to Kamala Harris, "who has had a string of political hiccups as vice president."

In truth, the ex-California Attorney for a year and a half of work in the White House showed herself as a politician who did not solve a single task assigned to her.

There are, of course, plenty of other figures who lost to Biden in the 2020 primary: Senators Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, Bernie Sanders of Vermont, Elizabeth Pocahontas Warren of Massachusetts, Corey Booker of New Jersey.

Gay Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, former Congressman and current Texas gubernatorial candidate Beto O'Rourke, who recently made himself known by his scandalous behavior at a press conference on the Uvalda shooting...

All this democratic bestiary has one thing in common: they are political losers, losers.

If Biden were surrounded by a halo of glory and enjoyed real authority, then the fact of losing to such a hero would rather play into their hands.

But Biden is turning more and more every day into an annoying nuisance, into a lame duck, into a laughingstock - and this image of him rebounds on his possible successors, who conceded to him in 2020.

After all, it is one thing to be defeated by an energetic, charismatic leader like Trump, and quite another to be a decrepit grandfather, from whom even his party members are beginning to turn away.

For now, they turn away delicately, like well-bred ladies in a living room from a source of an unpleasant smell, imperceptibly pressing a handkerchief to their face.

But an article in the NYT shows that soon this process will become uncontrollable and no one will care about decency anymore.

But if the Democrats lose control of both houses of Congress, their ambitious plans to turn the United States into a one-party republic of totalitarian progressivism can be put an end to.

Interviews with nearly 50 Democratic Party officials, from district leaders to members of Congress, as well as disillusioned voters who supported Biden in 2020, reveal that the party is not only alarmed by the rise of Republican power, but also extremely pessimistic about its immediate prospects.

Therefore, all the propaganda resources of the Democrats are now thrown into the hearings on the “January 6th case”, which they are trying to present as nothing less than an attempt by force to seize power by Trump supporters.

Therefore, there are detentions of close associates of the former president, such as Peter Navarro, who was seized at the airport and put on him not only handcuffs, but also leg irons.

Prominent conservative presenter and lawyer Mark Levin described the Democrats' drive to organize a large-scale trial in the "January 6 case" as something from the political practice of the "old Soviet Union."

“This is how Stalin and other maniacs obsessed with genocide dealt with their enemies,” says Levin.

- They take people who are deprived of political power and try to destroy them so that they can never return (to politics. -

).

But no matter how hard the democratic media tries to switch the attention of the audience to the “crimes” of Donald Trump, the American voters for the most part are preoccupied with completely different problems - inflation inexorably rushing to new heights and exorbitant gasoline prices.

And this is very bad news for the Democrats, who are horrified to realize that the politician whom they considered the savior of their party is turning into its gravedigger in front of their eyes.
