The New York Times Editorial Board once again has called on President Joe Biden to drop out of the race:
President Biden clearly understands the stakes. But he seems to have lost track of his own role in this national drama. As the situation has become more dire, he has come to regard himself as indispensable. He does not seem to understand that he is now the problem — and that the best hope for Democrats to retain the White House is for him to step aside.
The first piece came out on June 28.
But this time, the board aimed its fury at the Democratic Party.
Of course, they littered the piece with hyperbolic descriptions of America if former President Donald Trump should win. Otherwise, our democracy will vanish!
Well, thank goodness we don’t live in a democracy!! (Constitutional federal republic)
That’s why the party must convince Biden to step off!
“They need to tell him that his defiance threatens to hand victory to Mr. Trump,” the board stressed. “They need to tell him that he is embarrassing himself and endangering his legacy.”
What legacy?
“He needs to hear, plain and clear, that he is no longer an effective spokesman for his own priorities,” the board added.
Well, we know Lady Macbeth Jill won’t do that.
I notice the board left out Lady Macbeth Jill:
But since the debate, most elected Democrats have resisted taking a public stand, instead waiting quietly and hopefully for Mr. Biden to arrive at the necessary conclusion. Mr. Beyer’s office issued a statement after his comments were reported insisting that he still supports Mr. Biden. Others have voiced concerns without their names attached, perhaps hoping their anxiety would trickle back to the president.But a whisper campaign is inadequate to this moment, because the moment is urgent. The longer Mr. Biden continues his grasp on the nomination, the harder it will be to replace him, as he certainly knows. The country has already seen what happens to a party that binds itself to the ambitions of one individual, and it did not turn out well for Republicans, who have lost their way.For those at the helm of the Democratic Party — including the Senate majority leader, Chuck Schumer; the House minority leader, Hakeem Jeffries; and even the former House speaker Nancy Pelosi — the time has arrived to speak forcefully to the president and the public about the need for a new candidate, before time runs out for other candidates to make their case to the party’s convention delegates.
