As a NeverTrumper self-exiled GOPer who voted for Biden in 2020 and Harris in 2024, I don't see how the Democratic Party will repair its self-inflicted, damaged brand and regain its credibility when the Democratic Party's leaders & elected officials are still so wrapped around the axels about shielding American voters from the self-evident knowledge that Joe Biden was incapacitated by his advanced age and incapable of beating Trump in 2024 or doing the job as President for four more years that THEY STILL WON'T COME CLEAN ABOUT THEIR COMPLICITY. Reid Epstein's NYT review summing up the new book, “Original Sin,” by Jake Tapper of CNN and Alex Thompson of Axios notes that "the book is so reliant on anonymous sourcing — very few aides or elected officials are quoted by name — that it reveals the enduring chill that Mr. Biden’s loyalists have cast over a Democratic Party still afraid to grapple publicly with what many say privately was his waning ability to campaign and serve in office." https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/13/us/politics/biden-book-takeaways.html?campaign_id=9&emc=edit_nn_20250514&instance_id=154502&nl=the-morning®i_id=134147545&segment_id=197914&user_id=bc14d03a761de2052eec6e938e440633 ARRRGGH!!
