There's a lot of talk about replacing Biden---and nothing is impossible.
But the mechanics of it at this stage are far more involved and difficult than people imagine.
Also consider the following factors
1) Biden does not want to give up power. With mounting legal troubles for his family, he's likely more interested in clinging to the pardon power than ever
2) If you read the Revolver piece, it goes into detail as to how the DNC procedures for removing him are not simple or easy---Biden has his own loyalists stacked in there. There are also ballot issues at this late stage in the game that are considerable
3) While many on the left finally realize Biden is a major liability, it really is too little too late. Even aside from the difficulties above, the Democrat elite would have to arrive at a consensus replacement. Who would that be? Kamala is a non-starter---they all hate her. So they need to come to a consensus candidate who isn't kamala harris and deal with the fallout to passing over a woman of color heir apparent. Yet another aggravation on top of Israel-Palestine that already has the base incensed
4) Even if they come up with a consensus candidate and are able to persuade Biden to leave, there's the problem of media preparation. The media is an amazing consensus manufacturing machine but such things require TIME and RUNWAY. That's the problem with it being too late---think of how much preparation went into conditioning the public mind for covid and everything that came after. This late in the game there's just not enough time and runway for the consensus machine to kick into gear effectively.
This is not to say that there under no circumstances will be an effort to replace Biden. There could very well be, and it is more likely now than it was a week ago, though the likelihood of them actually replacing him is far less than people imagine even now. All of the steps and hurdles involved in replacing him would be uncertain and have their own risks, and give the public the impression of chaos that has to be weighed against the negative public impression of Biden's cognitive condition
Oh yeah and one other thing. There is a severe intergenerational rift in the Dem party exacerbated by the Israel Palestine conflict. I know most right wing media thinks of Biden as some Hamas agent, but the left base thinks of him as obsequious to Israel and have had intense protests to that effect.
For all of Biden's faults, however, his clear lame duck legacy status is a temporary band aid holding together the party--- if he goes, the party will have a very difficult time navigating the intergenerational rift which will come to the fore with full force. And that's the last thing Dems need right before an election...

Defamation law is anachronistic in the sense that questioning a woman's chastity is considered so essentially damaging that damages don't have to be proven--defamatory per se
In our age of slut pride, however, it's not hard to see how being accused of racism is far more damaging from reputational point of view
Below, courtesy of Thomas Massie, is the most damning and explosive J6 footage yet released.
In my view this will end up demolishing the Regime's J6 narrative and with it a major pillar of Dem's 2024 strategy.
You paying attention Kamala?
This footage shows the discovery of the pipe bomb at a bench outside the DNC headquarters.
This first clips shows that at approximately 1:05 a man in a backpack approaches a Metro PD SUV and a black Secret Service SUV informing them of the pipe bomb's presence
Interestingly, recent report from @TPC4USA reveals this man in the back pack is a plain clothes Capitol Police officer
Here's the first sign things are a bit out of the ordinary.
After being informed of a pipe bomb feet away, the metro PD authorities (who are technically on the secret service detail) take over a minute before they even bother getting out of their car!
Why did Kamala hide the fact she was at DNC? Why didn't Kamala mention on J6 anniversary that she was within hair's width of losing her life to MAGA pipe bomb?
Since our interview, the infamous diplomatic Cypher communicating the Biden Regime's demand that Pakistan overthrow its democratically elected leader has been LEAKED in a major journalistic coup (no pun) by The Intercept's @MazMHussain
This leak confirms the remarkable hypocrisy of Biden, who called putin a "killer" and constantly lamented Russia's alleged (and unproven) meddling in the 2016 election---only to be caught red handed demanding that Pakistan overthrow its leader or else!
I was one of the last two international journalists to interview Prime Minister Imran Khan before his arrest
In this critical section of the interview, we discuss the Biden regime's role in his ouster -- specifically, the wicked color revolution professional Victoria Nuland
Note that Trump personally and directly called out Victoria Nuland in what is perhaps the best of his excellent policy statements this campaign season
