    Where are they? Exactly where they always were.

    On the Left and amid the DNC, there has always been a lack of unity. The Democrats in general display a stark willingness to turn against their own, to eat their own candidate, in the event of a failure. A favored politician gets caught sending inappropriate pictures to someone who isn’t their spouse? Their career is over. An incumbent fucks up a debate? Their base splits and explodes and forces them out. On the left, you can’t fuck up and still expect unwavering support like you could on the Right.

    On the right, the cries about age and fitness are being shown as bad faith arguments. The fact that they still support their pants-shitting senile rambler felon of a candidate makes it pretty clear that they don’t actually care THAT MUCH about age and fitness. It was just a convenient weapon they could turn turn against Biden, because he was very slightly older than Trump, and when Trump babbles like an imbecile that’s just his normal. He’s always been unfit, as opposed to recently declining to that level.

      There’s no solidarity like fascist solidarity. They stick to each other like stink on shit, unless one of them does something nice or normal. Then it’s straight to cancel town.
