Why are all these fucking democrats still in office 30 years later?
A disease called incumbency.
Once you get elected into high office, you can almost never get voted out unless you fuck up so badly that your party has to forcibly remove you. And even that's a crapshoot if the party can remove you (see Joe Lieberman).
People are lazy and fall for the trap of believing experienced politician willing to screw over huge chunks of the population for pork projects for their district over newbies. Also, once you get elected, you get elevated to elite status and have access to all sorts of money, societal influencers, and powerful people you can sell your soul to in order to get them to help you stay in office until death.
I only wish Trump had sat on this until the election. I'm still calling a fix for Biden.
Timing works better given how it got leaked that major donors/corporations were recently threatening the Democrats to force them to tell Warren to fuck off, vowing to support Trump out of spite or not help ANYONE if Warren gets the nomination.
With the money men pissy Warren is polling better than expected and being a legit threat to Biden, Trump kneecapping Biden now works to his advantage. Eliminating Biden means that the Democrats will have no choice but to double down on Warren (who the DNC has already rumored to have said, they would support over Bernie if forced) and in turn cost them big donor money and drive a good chunk of them to Trump.
I'm still curious as we get closer to the election cycle proper whether Twitter will ban him and "the media" will simply refuse to air Trump campaign ads. The thinking would probably be something like "if he can't air his ads, he can't win reelection, ha-ha!"
It would be an exceptionally stupid thing to do, but there's nothing actually legally stopping them from doing it, is there? Obviously Twitter can do what it wants but how about the media in general?
IIRC didn't CNN refuse to air a Trump ad because it called out CNN being caught red handed lying about Biden and his son's misdeeds?
As for Twitter; it's been discussed widely and in depth that nuking Trump's account while he's in office is a pandora's box Jack Dorsey doesn't want open. Not only because of how the GOP/Trump would respond in terms of going nuclear on social media in general but also, the fact that people shitting on/threatening Trump is one if not THE biggest reasons why people use Twitter. Banning Trump before the election could conceivably destroy Twitter financially in terms of a huge financial blow.
