In an attempt to derail the momentum of the Biden administration, Democratic detractors have initiated an advertising endeavor to convince Biden to abandon his leadership role. The move initiated by the emergent group known as ‘Pass the Torch’, signals an alarming lack of unity within the Democratic Party. Their planned campaign is set to launch on supportive left-wing media outlets such as MSNBC’s ‘Morning Joe.’
Interestingly, they’ve decided to run this campaign not only in the capital, Washington, D.C., but also aggressively in the area encompassing Rehoboth, Delaware, hinting at a deep-seated spitefulness. The beach home in that region is where Biden currently resides, recovering after testing positive for COVID-19.
The advertisement features certain Democratic voters from the gallant state of Pennsylvania, a pivotal swing state that has an organic affiliation with Biden. Talking with a seeming sense of entitlement, these voters are calling on Biden to retire from his political career, implying a palpable dissatisfaction within the Democratic demography.
The political narrative from multiple voters of varied ages and races revolves around the same sentiment, recklessly suggesting that ‘it’s time to pass the torch and allow the selection of a new nominee’—one predicted to invoke ‘new energy, new hope.’ Such rhetoric from the Democrats might reflect desperation.
It’s amusing to note that these Democratic supporters appear to have learned a thing or two from the administration of Donald Trump, where innovative strategies, including using mass communications to bypass conventional channels to reach influential individuals, were honed.
It’s worth chuckling at the notion that Rep. Sean Casten of Illinois is amongst a raucous group of 23 Democratic congressional members who have publicly asked Biden to drop the mantle. Something seems seriously amiss in the Democratic camp if Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., too, has echoed this sentiment, asking Biden to step down recently.
The Biden administration, appearing shaken but undeterred, has continued to claim that Biden will remain in the running. Their argument is rather piteous, rife with delusions that voters still support him against aging fears, and shockingly confesses that the party lacks any backup plan, should Biden step down.
A recently leaked memo throws light on the severe discord within the party. The memo, prepared by battleground state director Dan Kanninen, audaciously maintains that despite the glaringly chaotic situation, their routine assessment of interactions with voters points to irrelevant issues such as women’s rights and the alleged 2025 GOP agenda as being paramount concerns.
In a curious claim, the memo indicates that while Biden’s age is frequently brought up by the voting public, their so-called ‘target voters,’ including those that they are trying to re-engage and true swing voters, continue to support Biden. The implication here seems to be that the scrutiny and propaganda against Biden have failed, hinting at a denial of reality in the rhetoric.
The euphemistic tone of Kanninen in the memo is quite telling, saying that the campaign clearly has its ‘work cut out for us to win this November.’ A statement that sounds tantamount to admitting defeat before the war is barely mid-way.
Intriguingly, Biden’s advisers have been engaging in an alarmist rhetoric behind closed doors. They’ve been issuing futile warnings to Democrats about the disarray that could occur if Biden is replaced as the democratic nominee, indicating further fracture lines within the party.
Despite all the hullabaloo, it’s noteworthy that Biden is maintaining a low-profile, quietly resting and recuperating in his beach home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, after his COVID-19 diagnosis. It’s amusing how the lacklustre leadership of Biden seems to have ruffled feathers within his own party, creating waves of discontent that are washing over the Democratic shores.
