You don’t demonstrate your seriousness that Trump is an existential threat to democracy by going through the motions to renominate an 81-year-old with a 38% approval rating who 75% of voters think is too old without giving anyone a choice because that’s just how things are done.

Maybe it doesn’t end in Civil War 2.

Maybe it just ends in a farce with Democrats stuck with an unpopular senile incumbent. Trump isn’t removed from the ballot. We remain on our current trajectory.

ABC News:

“An overwhelming majority of Americans think President Joe Biden is too old to serve another term, according to a new ABC News/Ipsos poll.

5 points behind where Trump came in exactly four years ago.

And 10 points behind where Barack Obama stood at this point in his presidency, as he prepared to run for re-election.

And 13 points behind George W. Bush in February 2004.

And 10 points behind Bill Clinton in February 1996.

And 6 points behind George H. W. Bush (who, like Trump, went on to lose) in February 1992.

I could go on, moving ever-further back in time, but I trust you get the point. … ”
