She was also a candidate we didn't vote for, Biden being shoved down our throats again then him dropping out are what gave Trump the election. The focus on her gender and nothing else is to keep you from remembering that the DNC fucked us again and a large number of voters protest voting because "She'll genocide the Palestinians" like TRUMP wouldn't.
"The DNC" does not have the power to force Biden to step aside when he doesn't want to.
They aren't a military or a government. They are a club, and Biden was far and away the senior member.
The fact that when it comes to politics I see Americans nowadays keep repeating over and over and over again "this can't be done", "they don't have the power", "that will never happen", is to me astonishing. When I was growing up, America was where things HAPPENED. What happened to you guys? Where did this learned helplessness come from?
So your party structures are broken and unable to produce good outcomes? Change them. Reform them. Update them. What the fuck is wrong with you people? You made democracy into a fossil that you no longer fit in and you're despairing. It's supposed to be a living breathing thing that evolves all the time. WTF.
I have to agree, it is very weird that people treat their society like an thing set in stone.
40% of the country wants it to be worse in every way imaginable. They want more religion in the halls of power, more impressive law enforcement and mass incarceration, more dictatorial centralization of power, less education more environmental destruction more wealth concentration in fewer elites hands, less protections for workers, and their families, more poverty sickness and death.
They aren't the same people either, sixty-70% want one or some of the things on that list.
If we declared a constitutional convention, I don't think there would be any agreement whatsoever about what changes to make, and if there were, agreement, I expect they would be disasterous.
