A divided Democratic Party will ensure President Biden’s run for the 2024 presidency ends in defeat. It’s crucial that Democrats solidly support the incumbent presidential candidate, Joe Biden. Despite his recent debate performance, we must remember his impeccable leadership and impactful accomplishments for the American people. Let’s not forget that Democrats United are undefeatable.
President Biden occasionally stuttered during the debate, spoke hoarsely, performed with less vigor, and appeared less vibrant than usual. However, he knows members of his party are afraid and contemplating becoming deserters. As a proven leader, he knows he must remain steadfast to calm those harboring fears and doubts. He’s at his best when doubters panic.
On Monday, July 8, 2024, President Biden issued a terse letter to all Democrats indicating he has no plans of deserting the mission to defeat Trump again. Former President Roosevelt famously said to calm the fears of Great Depression sufferers: “You’ve Nothing to Fear but Fear Itself.”
Democratic fear-mongers need not confront President Biden again with their fears. Remember, he’s aware of his newly acquired power of “absolute immunity.” The Supreme Court, to their “Chagrin,” wrote so timely into law, giving presidents “absolute immunity.” As president, Biden and United Democrats can use this power to defend democracy vigorously.
Republicans who offer nothing but their abominable “Project 25 Manifesto should be fearful of educated democratic and independent voters. This plan is as regressive and dangerous as the 16th Century Salem Witch Trials.
President Biden should ask his advisors and prominent Democratic naysayers which political mythology and polls suggest voters would abandon him for Trump. Identify polls that indicate educated voters will vote for an unfit candidate. Trump’s a convicted felon, a narcissistic pathological liar, a proclaimed dictator, a procurer of prostitutes, a person who recommended bleach as a cure for COVID-19, and a person who’s an existential threat to democracy.
There are only three valid reasons Democrats should drop President Biden from the Democratic presidential ticket: 1) he suffered a disabling stroke; 2) he died from a heart attack; and 3) he exhibited Trump’s mental acuity/lunacy.
Let’s be clear: A Democratic presidential victory in 2024 is impossible without Black people’s votes. Their vote is not simply crucial; it’s essential. Plotting to drop President Biden and shift VP Harris from the presidency slot isn’t an option. It would prove to be as disastrous as the voyage of the Titanic.
Democrats must stop bickering among themselves. And they shouldn’t allow Biden to participate in another “Mud Slinging” spectacle masqueraded as a debate. It’s a losing contest against Trump, who’s a convicted felon and a lying provocateur.
Republicans are spreading a racist hoax about Biden’s age to stoke fears. Democrats shouldn’t buy into this. Biden and Trump, as mere men, are mortal; as you know, death will come unexpectedly to all mortals. The genuine fear is that should President Biden die while president, VP Harris, a Black woman, becomes president. America’s racism hangs as a “Scarlet Letter,” symbolizing perpetual shame.
Remember, America’s democracy, defended by educated democratic and independent voters, is unconquerable. They’ll cast their ballots by the tens of millions and again deny Trump access to the White House. Unity within the Democratic Party is its strength and the key to preserving Democracy.
YOU BE THE JUDGE!
