@Coffee A
It is not about the will of the people, it is about Party Rules which govern who is and how they are chosen to be the party’s nominee.
To quote am Old American Express Commercial: “Membership has its privilege”
If you are not a member of the Democrat Party you have no right to determine who the nominee should be (I oppose open primaries).
Many of us worked log and hard for our party investing time and money and were wiling to support an incumbent and not show him the door for younger, less experienced people. The President was not convinced to step aside by young bucks, he listened to the reason and experience of senior party members, such as 84 year old Nancy Pelosi ( ho has spent about as many years in Government as Biden).
Many delegates were willing to accept a weakened, aging incumbent as our candidate because it was believed he could defeat EX-President Trump. When it became apparent that was no longer the case it was time for a change. I for one, would rather have had a President Biden running on 5 cylinders than another term of Trump destroying what little is left of our personal liberties.
I don’t know how old you are, or your schooling. I am old enough to have rejoiced when the Supreme Court ruled the forced Christian Prayer I was forced to endure in public elementary school Unconstitutional back in 1962. I was thrilled when President Johnson and the Dems passed the Civil Rights Act. and we could not be legally discriminated against because we are Jews
