Man they are committed to losing aren't they?
The way I'm reading it, the Biden Faction has three possible futures:
1 and 2 are bad for the Biden Faction because it means the end of their jobs. In the case of 1, the new candidate's Faction would replace them, and in the case of 2, they eat shit and they're muscled out by whatever Faction is currently performing the media coup.
3 is their only path to keeping their Beltway jobs which will launch them into cushy consultation gigs in the future a la the entire Obama administration, so they're going to fight tooth and nail to keep Biden even if the odds are stacked against him. The DNC won't really mind if he loses because then Biden acts as a Sin Eater for the genocide that Democrats have been committing in Palestine and they get to keep fundraising off of the new Drumpf presidency
I think this sums up the calculations for the administration staffers very well
I thought Biden had no chance until I saw this recent interview clip of Biden from the link below.

He's a like a new man. Clear. Confident. Concise. I understand exactly what he is saying. If there are any liberals lurking about reading this and feeling worried, just view the clip and put your mind at ease.
Jesus fucking Christ those replies
Libs are in a different reality at this point. Or maybe it’s just severe denial idk but they really don’t care what the average person thinks about Joe Biden’s brain giving out each time he’s asked a question
Gotta say telling your entire voter base "fuck you" is certainly a novel electoral strategy
Let's see how it goes
