Shame On These Fair Weather Democrats; They Need to Learn from History

The fair weather Democrats, pundits, and activists who are trying to give President Joe Biden space to withdraw by continually hounding him to exit in the press, the airwaves, television, social media, and the halls of Congress need to learn from history.

In 1968, Eugene McCarthy forces and the candidate himself strung Democratic Nominee Hubert Humphrey along to the last days of the campaign before endorsing him. 

That fair weather whining gave us Richard Nixon. 

In 1980, Ted Kennedy, still smarting over getting beat by Jimmy Carter in the Democratic Primaries, refused to hold hands up with the President's and show unity at the end of the Convention.

That show of disunity helped bring on Ronald Reagan.

Then there is 2000 when enough fair weather Democrats did not think there was enough of a difference between Al Gore and George W. Bush so they threw their support to Ralph Nader. 

The result was 9/11, the uncalled for war in Iraq, the Great Recession, and nomination of the Supreme Court Justice that would author the Dobbs Decision overturning Roe v Wade.

Good move Fair Weather Democrats. 

Do we really need to discuss the Fair Weather Democrats who did not get their way when Bernie Sanders did not get the nomination over Hilary Clinton and either stayed home or threw their support to Jill Stein?

How did that work out?

A mismanaged pandemic. Economic paralysis. Three Supreme Court Justices who have mostly spent their time taking this nation back to the 1920's, two impeachments, and an attempted coup on the Nation's Capitol on January 6, 2021. 

Now here we are today and Fair Weather Democrats are looking to undermine another Democratic Presidential Nominee. 

The true stupidity of this is, just because of one bad debate performance, they are willing to sacrifice the President who they claim has been historically successful and who has already demonstrated could beat Trump. 

And these people can not be swayed. 

No matter how well Biden performs like he did post debate in Georgia, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and at the N.A.T.O. Summit, these spineless worm fair weather Democrats do not care. They are going to try their coup no matter how much it hurts the country. Even if Biden has a stellar press conference tomorrow (I am actually dreading this because the press are going to come at him like man-eating piranhas,) they will still persist. You would think, the way these fair weather bedwetting Democrats are acting, it was Biden that was on the Access Hollywood Tape. It was Biden that was twice impeached. It was Biden that was found liable for sexual assault and business fraud. It was Biden that attempted the coup on January 6, 2021. 

Their logic is dumbfounding. 

Did Joe Biden demonstrate he could beat Trump? Yes!

Was Joe Biden a successful President? All these yutz's, as they're twisting the knife in his back, say yes.

Has Donald Trump done anything since he lost in 2020 that should enhance his position or standing with the American People? No!

What is the problem here people?

You get behind your nominee and look for ways to adjust and win. 

He is old. So what. So is the other guy and that person, the real threat to the country, wants to bring his Project 2025 goons with him and establish a Fascist dictatorship.

I do not know if President Biden is in early or median stages of cognitive decline.

I do know that what the Democratic leaders should have done was handle this subtly and in a way that preserved Mr. Biden's dignity without embarrassing him like they have.

You do not go out seconds, hours, days, and weeks after one poor 90 minute performance and constantly and publicly throw your nominee under the bus like dog crap, driving down his poll numbers as a result. 

Good strategic and tactical thinking.

Shame on These Fair Weather Democrats.

They need to learn from history instead of decreasing their odds for victory this November with this ill advised behavior.
