Some were actually surprised when on Sunday, July 21, the major news outlets reported that good ol’ Joe Biden, SUPER PATRIOT, dropped out of the race for a second term as President. Three days later he appeared on national television, surrounded by teary family members, and claimed that though he could certainly defeat Donald Trump to win the election, he dropped out because it is “in the best interest of my party and the country.”1
We here at I Vote My Vote believe that it is certainly true that it is best for the country that President Biden drop out of the race for his re-election. Biden and his compatriots in the Democratic Party with the occasional help of a few myopic Republican lawmakers, and with amazing consistency, have managed to damage the quality of life and prospects for the future for every sector of the population save the rich.2 As a matter of fact, we vehemently agree that if ol’ Joe is not competent to stand for re-election, he certainly isn’t competent to continue in the office of the Presidency.3
It is also true that Biden dropping out of the race is best for the Democratic Party. Since Biden’s debate fiasco, Party bigwigs have made it clear to him that if he didn’t drop out from seeking re-election he would lose the Presidency and possibly encourage a ‘red wave’ of Republicans in the races for control of the House of Representatives and the Senate.4 He still resisted “standing down”, as he put it, until Democratic Party stalwarts like Senator Schumer visited his home in Delaware and warned him that if he didn’t he would lose the support of major Party donors making it impossible for him to win.5
Did Joe Biden really drop out from his re-election bid because it was best for the country? If you believe that, then we here at I Vote My Vote wonder what other fairy stories you believe? The REAL reason Biden has stopped running for re-election rests with the fact that his Democratic Party erstwhile cronies have told him that they wouldn’t support him and that he would go down to a humiliating defeat sinking the candidacy of Democratic Party hopefuls across the board.
In other words, the REAL reason that Joe Biden dropped out was because it was best for Joe Biden and his family members who have enriched themselves during his tenure as Vice-President and then, President. He can go out claiming self-sacrifice and hear the accolades from fellow Democratic Party hacks and supporters in the major media about his patriotism and self-denial, but the fact is that Biden is “standing down” as cover for his own party kicking him out.
