Democrats are destroying democracy by engineering a veritable coup through forcing out Biden from the race—but not from the presidency.
Here are ten of their new rules of American democracy that they have now bequeathed to us.
1) The Democrats have decided that Biden is technically mentally unfit to run as their nominee for president—but fit as fiddle to continue for six months as our president. Thus, the Democratic primary winner turns out today to be the loser. And it is far more important to be mentally fit as a Democrat candidate than as an American president.
2) So, primaries and delegates won by popular vote now mean zilch. They are erasable at the whim of the back-roomers in the darkness. Will Democratic primaries cease to exist? If not, why would anyone take the time to vote in them?
3) Remember the same coup plotters today in 2020 engineered the sudden abdications of all of Biden’s socialist primary rivals to ensure that he would be a suitable veneer for their own extremist agendas. In that now infamous Faustian bargain, Joe and Jill got the ceremonial White House spotlight. In exchange, the team of Barack and Michelle ran things stealthily. So did Joe live by the coup, and then die by the coup?
4) The donors and politico grandees (did anyone vote for these people?) determine who runs and who doesn’t—not the people who vote in the primaries.
5) The convention will be as rigged as was the coup to depose Biden.
6) Barack Obama set a new precedent that the ex-president stays put in Washington, implants his team onto his successor’s administration, and runs the country covertly through a puppet president.
7) The legal minds who crafted lawfare to neuter Donald Trump now dreamed up a phony loophole in their party rules to depose Biden. Their absurd theory is that the delegates and voters had no idea when they voted for Biden that he was actually unhinged. Therefore, their prior pledges and primary results now mean nothing—although any who said just that were demonized by the party hierarchy who swore publicly that Biden was vigorous and cogent.
8) From now on, when the Democrat winner of all the primaries and delegates falls behind in the summer polls, he can be kicked out by party diktat.
9) Note that Biden was declared dynamic last week, and this week too unfit to run—when the Americans knew the problem was not just that Biden was senile (it never bothered Democrats until the disastrous exposure during the debate). The real disaster was that he was too far behind in the polls, threatened down-ballot Democrats, and therefore, presto, Biden instantly became mentally unfit.
10) Will the party that chanted 25th Amendment the moment Trump was elected in 2017, at least go through that constitutional process to show that they are worried about the American people being led by a president for the next half-year whom they themselves feel is too incompetent to remain their standard bearer?

For the record, I recently spoke with @NewYorker's @IChotiner per his request for a discussion on my recent book. The published piece was "edited and condensed for clarity”; however, . . .
the editing was done so in a way that omits the chronological accuracy of our conversation and the vast majority of what was said, which I think is important for purposes of context, tone, and intent—both Mr. Chotiner's and my own.
There's also introductory false accusations of "a history of hostility to undocumented Mexican and Central American immigrants . . . and to African-Americans who speak about the persistence of racism." Neither charge is remotely true.
