Tim tweeted this: “I reject the talking point about how an open process leads to chaos. The present is chaos! There’s no order here to protect. It’s chaos or chaos.”
(“Open process” means ignore the primaries and replace Joe.)
You are the chaos, Tim!
You and George Clooney and Adam Schiff and every other member of the Replace Joe chorus. (I’m real disappointed in you, Adam.)
Joe was fine at the State of the Union. He was fine last week at the NATO press conference. He’s been fine a million times in between. As bad as the debate was, it was not the crisis. You and the rest of the Chicken Littles abetted the media in creating the crisis.
Now it’s a feedback loop, you and the rest of the media endlessly and mindlessly reinforcing one another. Hillary was right about the echo chamber, but now it’s a small but significant faction of the left wing, along with fellow travelers such as you. All of you are the crisis.
And, Tim, I’m sorry that so many Dems have been rude to you on twitter. It’s uncalled for, and you are right to criticize them. But you have used that rudeness as an excuse to dismiss anyone who disagrees with you, and you’ve been smug and snarky about it. You seem surprised that Democrats actually like Joe Biden and want to see him reelected, and that we are too simple-minded to grasp the self-evidence of your position.
If it’s chaos whether Joe stays or goes, then we should keep as our candidate the historically successful incumbent President. You and George and Adam should stop pulling Joe backward and start pushing him forward.
