This week, and for the second time this year, President Joe Biden used public resources to go on television and claim that unless you give him unlimited power for life, you are placing democracy in danger. It would be funny if it weren’t so sad.

Something is very wrong with this poor man and with all the Democratic partisans who, without a hint of self-consciousness, make this authoritarian and anti-democratic argument in favor of democracy. Biden’s serious-sounding exhortation that “you can’t love your country only when you win” is actually a scathing indictment of the Democratic Party and its members’ conduct after every presidential election they lost this century.
