Joe Biden Must Resign

Even a boiled potato can do immeasurable damage with too much power and six months of unsupervised wiggle room.

In what is the political equivalent of telling your young children that Rover (the beloved and yet geriatric family dog that’s started to smell funny who just won’t stop pooping on the pillows) has been sent away to a farm, it was announced this weekend that Joe Biden would be dropping out of the presidential race to spend more time with his remaining brain cells.

“It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President,” Biden (supposedly) wrote. “And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term.”

I say “supposedly” because the world hasn’t seen nor heard from Joe Biden in days, and this announcement came in the form of a scanned letter on social media.

Nothing suspicious about that!

This latest chapter of chaos sums up the state of the Democratic Party in recent months. While the Republican Party has unified behind its candidate, with Donald Trump’s changed tone and style drawing applause from across the political spectrum, Democrats have been falling over themselves in panic over Biden’s mental collapse. Of course, only once it became clear that his poll numbers were in free-fall.

Much of the focus in the hours and days that followed Biden’s withdrawal from the race (and perhaps even society) has understandably been directed toward his replacement. Will it be the final step in the not-so-meteoric rise of the world’s most famous DEI hire, Kamala Harris? What about former Mayor of South Bend and avid fan of trains and paternity leave, Pete Buttigieg? Or, perhaps, the final return of Hillary Clinton?

Not to worry! The Avengers of Democracy that is the leftist establishment will decide for the oafs they call their voters.

But there’s something people are forgetting: we are still almost six months away from the end of Joe Biden’s first (and last) presidential term.

And even a boiled potato can do immeasurable damage with too much power and six months of unsupervised wiggle room.

While the legacy media is clamoring over the prospect of Kamala Harris as the official nominee — because she’s just so historic, you see — they’re refusing to ask the one obvious question that remains: if Joe Biden is too wobbly to run for office, how can he be stable enough to hold office?

It’s like your elderly grandparent turning down your invitation to attend your local Thanksgiving turkey trot because their knees just can’t handle the strain, and then finding out they intend to run a marathon every day until late January.

If Joe Biden can no longer run for president, he is not capable of being president. It’s that simple.

Of course, it goes without saying that the idea of an essentially unelected President Kamala Harris for the remaining months of Biden’s term fills me with absolute horror. Setting aside the cackling and the Diet Hillary theatrics and the sheer stupidity that brought us nuggets like “the significance of the passage of time,” Harris is a dangerous ideological figure who cannot shake the radicalism of her rise to power.

But, at the very least, Kamala Harris knows what day it is.

The most fundamental responsibility of the president of the United States is to act as our commander in chief. So, if we have to hand the nuclear codes to a boiled potato or an underqualified social climber who can at least complete a moderate sudoku, the choice seems both terrifying and obvious.

At least under President Harris, we won’t launch warheads against Canada because the president tried to turn the volume up on “The Golden Girls.”
