Unfounded hypotheses:
- Joe was holding out to stay in because he wanted to make sure the nominee will be someone who WON'T follow up on the decades of Clinton/Biden corruption. The last thing he (or his family) needs is someone like RFK Jr who would take integrity of the office seriously. This course was likely supported by Obama since there has to be evidence in the archives that Obama KNEW HRC was using a private email account and destroying evidence in direct violation of the National Archives Act.
- The Democrats have looked at the polls and believe 2024 is a lost election at the presidential level no matter what they do. The party needs to contain the damage to those offices and prevent splash down ballot.
- The Democrats need to hold Congressional and Senate offices to try to forestall honest looks at the Jan 6 prosecutions, misuse of the intelligence and law enforcement communities, protection of the Bidens/Obamas/Clintons from legal ramifications, etc.
- Newsom wanted more time to prepare and build funds before running.
- With the top office an almost definite goner, what better to do with the election than put in someone the Dems don't want running again in any future election? This would be similar to the Republicans nominating John McCain in 2008 -- there was no way any Republican was going to win in 2008 so letting McCain run and lose terminated his prospects in any future election.
Question: Has anyone actually met anyone from Q-Anon? I see them "quoted" endlessly but never see any direct identification of someone in the group. If I were a Democrat, I'd have created something like Q-Anon precisely so I could make up outrageous crap and get my opposition to repeat it.
