If Democrats needed another reminder of why their party insiders ousted Biden as their nominee, they got it on the opening night.

Kamala’s joy may be as fake as a three dollar bill, but Biden’s deranged rants about his opponents as threats to democracy would have tanked the election.

And Biden was in fine form, repeating the usual lies and clichés, raging and mumbling his way through the same speech that he’s been giving for four years in which he acts like he’s the last guard of democracy against anyone who disagrees with him while trying to also uphold his legacy as America’s savior.

At least this time he left the red lighting and armed soldiers back home.

It’s a sad spectacle, sadder still because Biden isn’t really angry at Trump or Republicans. They didn’t oust him. He did it to himself and then his party did it to him.

Biden is repeating his democracy shtick to an audience which chose to ignore the 14 million members of his party who voted for him.

This isn’t a call for justice, it’s a deranged King Lear threatening everyone while being powerless to do anything because he was weak and trusted the wrong people. And the wrong people are his own party. No amount of lies and rants will change where Biden found himself.
