The Dem party establishment ordered Biden to drop out and nullified 14 million votes while chanting something about “joy”.

Now the same machine is upset that RFK Jr dropped out and endorsed Trump. There’s all sorts of muttering about a “deal”. As if candidates don’t routinely drop out as part of a deal. Like the deal that Obama negotiated back in 2020 to get the party to unify around Biden. And whatever hellish terms were used to get Biden to drop out and make way for Kamala. There’s a whole litany of candidates who run in primaries purely to drop out and make a deal. All of this, except the part about ousting a nominee, is political business as usual.

As usual, though it’s “different when we do it.”

That is to say that right and wrong are purely situational and political norms are transactional. Completely insane things like the Biden coup are treated as completely normal whereas completely normal things, a candidate dropping out and transferring his support, is portrayed as abnormal for entirely political reasons.
