Mutiny on the Democratic Ship: Internal Turmoil and the Push to Oust Biden

 

by Michael Smith

The Democratic Party is once again demonstrating its knack for self-sabotage. Instead of uniting behind President Joe Biden, some top Democrats are stirring the pot, echoing the disastrous tactics of 2016. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) recently went viral, revealing the extent of the internal mutiny.

AOC’s Revelations

AOC took to Instagram Live to spill the beans: many top Democrats want not just Biden out, but Vice President Kamala Harris as well. “I’m in these rooms, I see what they say... a lot of them are not just interested in removing the president, they are interested in removing the whole ticket,” she said. This isn’t just a power play; it’s a full-blown mutiny.

Billionaires Pulling the Strings

Billionaires like Bill Ackman are quietly withdrawing their financial support from Biden’s campaign and backing challengers like Dean Phillips, causing a significant dry-up in Biden's campaign funds. It’s like watching the puppet masters at work, pulling strings and pushing narratives to suit their whims.

Pelosi’s Political Pirouette

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, ever the political ballet dancer, has reportedly advised Biden to reconsider his run due to unfavorable polling numbers. Donald Trump, never one to miss a chance to throw shade, commented that Pelosi turned on Biden "like a dog." This remark underscores the sentiments of betrayal and disunity swirling within the Democratic ranks.

Echoes of 2016

This mutiny brings to mind the proverb "the rats are abandoning the ship." In 2016, internal squabbles and strategic blunders led to a fractured base and a loss to Donald Trump. The current push to replace Biden mirrors this past, highlighting the risks of internal division. Haven’t we learned anything?

High-Profile Hypocrisy

Hollywood moguls like George Clooney have also voiced their concerns. Clooney, in his recent op-ed, urged Biden to step aside, reflecting the growing sentiment among the party elite. It’s rich coming from those who preach unity but practice division. And let’s not forget the media elite who have jumped on this bandwagon, conveniently ignoring their own past missteps.

AOC’s Call to Arms

AOC has rightly called out her colleagues for their lack of transparency and urged them to speak openly about their positions. She criticized the “elites” and “donor class” for their behind-the-scenes maneuvering, emphasizing the need for honesty and unity in the party. If there’s one thing AOC gets right, it’s that the people deserve to know who’s pulling the strings.

Final Thoughts

The Democratic Party is once again at a crossroads, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. As top Democrats, including Obama and Pelosi, express their doubts, the party must navigate these turbulent waters carefully to avoid repeating the mistakes of 2016. Biden and Harris deserve our full support, and it’s time for the grassroots to speak up. Let’s show the elites that the voice of the people cannot be silenced.
