Stuart Stevens' excellent analysis in The Atlantic lays out how insane it is for Dems to race toward abandoning the president who offers the Democratic Party its chance to scuttle its long reputation as the part of weakness, un-American, with the guy who is the first president ever to visit a country in a hot war (Ukraine) and who reconstituted crucial European and Asian alliances against the emerging Putin / Xi / Kim axis.
Stevens worked on five presidential campaigns, always for Republicans, and he is baffled at Dems' and eager pundits' rush to fling not just Biden but our own advantages off a cliff. I agree. none of the folks hopping up and down, not a one, offer any serious analysis of a plausible plan for how to proceed after kicking the only man who beat Trump off the ticket, just vague, lame lines about how the party won't fracture over this—sure not! and the fantasy (based on what?) that someone/anyone can beat Trump...any old Dem EXCEPT Joe Biden.
this "you can't be serious" look has a point of view I've seen nowhere else. highly recommended, and good to share (but not sure if it's behind a paywall).

Here’s that article in The Atlantic (thanks for the recommendation)
https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2024/07/antidemocratic-uprising-against-joe-biden/678865/
but the list of current articles show many calling for Biden to step aside so I can’t promote The Atlantic overall.
