The Atlantic last week went so far as to call for Biden to resign as president, saying it would "give American democracy its best chance of surviving."

The Democratic Party and the media (but I repeat myself) would have you believe Biden's cognitive issues present America with two grave problems. One, that he is presently unable to fulfill his present duties as president; two, that he will be unable to defeat former President Donald Trump in November and "save democracy" from the candidate who could potentially get the most votes.

Trump supposedly presents a third problem, that being the "danger to democracy" he represents. This despite the fact that we've already lived through four years of Trump being president and "democracy,' at least the way the empire defines it, is alive and well.

None of this is true. The first clue to its falsity is the media saying it. Since Trump first entered politics and at least since 2020, the national media has served as a perfect contraindicator for the truth and the narratives related to the 2024 election are no exception. Biden's incompetence poses no danger to everyday Americans in the present. It will likely matter little for his chances to defeat Donald Trump in the November election, just as it mattered little in 2020.

And no, Donald Trump represents no danger to "democracy," whatever the power elite actually means by that, nor to the republican form of government created by and guaranteed to every state in the union by the U.S. Constitution.

Make no mistake, Biden and Trump are a problem, but not for Americans. They are a problem for the empire. Ultimately, they represent the same problem for the empire, although it would have you believe otherwise.

To understand this, one must put aside civic fairy tales and acknowledge how the American political system really works. The fairy tale says the American system is "a democracy," and the president is elected by a majority vote of the people and directs the federal apparatus according to the "will of the people."
