under your definition is if President Biden had decided not to run at all?

Which is what LBJ did in 1968, with disastrous results.

Whatever the history might be, if there were Democrats who had such serious doubts about President Biden, they should have made their case openly and put it to the voters to choose.

Having decided to sit this one out--possibly hoping for a shot at 2028--and given that he is our candidate--they should now make their concerns privately to the President and his campaign, and leave it at that. Sending off all these rockets in public is one sure way to throw this election, a classic instance of a self-fulfilling prophecy.

"Biden can't win, so I'm going to do all I can to cast doubt on his ability to win or even govern."

Like I said, self-fulfilling prophecy. Let's hope it doesn't turn out that way.
