It took just over three full weeks for Joe Biden to drop out of the race after The Very Bad Debate, with unfavorable polling, donor dropouts, and party members turning against him. His departure, amidst speculation of facing his limitations, was perceived as inevitable.
The United States is portrayed as being in a late season of a show where writers struggle for new plots, hinting that Biden's exit may either save a faltering democracy or lead to its collapse.
Either Biden's decision to leave the race will save a deeply flawed democracy still in need of a reset, or the whole thing collapses in on itself like a sandcastle when it gets wet.
The Democrats remain a weakened party, now going into a critical election cycle without their presumed front-runner, adding to the uncertainties surrounding the future of American democracy.
