You'd best believe it's a fucking conspiracy! And fuck that goddamn debate story. It was a pointless dog-and-pony show from the git-go. This ain't the Lincoln-Douglas era, when there was no such thing as radio, TV, or the Internet. Televised debates are an anachronism that only exist to bump network ratings. And, as sick and exhausted as he was, Biden told the truth. Trump lied. And lied. And lied. Ad infinitum. But his clown show has always been misdirection, while the oligarchs treated our democracy like a piñata.

The Big-Money donors have discarded any pretense of democracy, and are rubbing our noses in the fact that they've ALWAYS been calling the shots, especially since Citizens United. And now, with the advent of Project 2025, they've shifted into overdrive. They know that Biden will splatter Trump all over the landscape, metaphorically speaking, and they want P 2025, so Biden has to go, one way or another.

The Big-Money donors have always played both side of the street, and now they're dangling the threat of disappearing campaign contributions to force the Democratic leaders to oust Biden so the don't have to bloody their own hands.
Biden should – no, he fucking HAS to – call their bluff and tell Schumer and the rest to go fuck themselves. He HAS the delegates, so he HAS the nomination.
God damn those treacherous backstabbers! They can kiss their political futures goodbye.
