The Bulwark and others in the media are trying to get Biden to self coup (to borrow from Mitt Romney's self deport). If they are so convinced that Biden is in mental decline why don't they get his cabinet to declare him mentally incapacitated?

The Bulwark and others in the media are trying to get Biden to self coup (to borrow from Mitt Romney's self deport). If they are so convinced that Biden is in mental decline why don't they get his cabinet to declare him mentally incapacitated? And if they are so convinced that majority of Democrats / delegates don't want Biden at the top of the ticket why don't they challenge him at the convention? They aren't doing any of that because they know they would lose those battles so, instead, as the Bulwark has admitted they are just going to keep pressuring Biden to self coup. Don't go Joe!
This relentless pressure campaign in the media and behind the scene is how Bill Kristol helped to lead the charge that got us into those disastrous and expensive wars in Iraq and Afghanistan so he's just running the same playbook, except this time he's doing it at home and on Joe Biden - a leopard never changes its spots!
Yes, exactly the same playbook with many of the same players and the same key word of democracy - remember one of the main justifications they offered for invading Iraq was to bring democracy to the Middle East. And now many of the same people and the same media leader (NYT) are using our fear of losing our democracy to try to pressure Joe Biden to leave the ticket

100%. This whole thing reminded me of the Iraq manipulation -- complete with an assist from the NYT.
