Very "Democratic" of the democrats not to hold a primary election so we can democratically decide if we want Mr. Genocide or not (hexbear.net)

Even it they held primary elections, they would rig them so Genocide Joe would win.

They might rig it for someone else if Joe looks like he’s going to eat shit. I could see him bowing out for “health reasons” or whatever right before the general and then having the party anoint his successor unilaterally due to the lack of time for a democratic process. It wouldn’t be the weirdest thing to happen in American politics. But yes, rig it they will.

There has not been one case of an important democrat bowing out for health reasons, multiple high profile disasters due to them not though

Dying can be seen as the ultimate form of bowing out

uhh sweaty I'll have you know Diane Feinstein bowed out in the middle of her term, which is ackshully before her next primary.

It could be whatever excuse they want. Health just seems convenient. The point is that I could see Biden stepping down at the eleventh hour so that they can replace him without consulting the unwashed masses.
