The Democratic Party’s historical penchant for elevating glorified nonentities to the highest office has reached a peak that would make even 19th-century Democrat Franklin Pierce raise an eyebrow. The current poster child for this phenomenon is none other than President Joe Biden, who shares the esteemed company of past leaders who could have rivaled a cardboard cutout in terms of charisma and public support.
Biden and “Doctor” Jill attended a Broadway gala featuring star power like Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal, generating buzz for the couple who seem as disconnected from the American middle class as they are from the party they used to symbolize. Their attendance was notable not just for the celebrity factor but for the political context: Biden recently offered to raise funds for the Democratic Party, a gracious gesture that was met with near-unanimous disinterest. Apparently, the party would prefer to fundraise from a pile of rocks than from the former president.
Prominent figures within the party, such as Alan Kessler, have claimed that there are still plenty of Biden loyalists out there. Yet, let’s indulge in a reality check. Latest polling data suggests that only a mere 1 percent of Democrats feel Biden embodies their values. One could be excused for wondering if those respondents were simply trying to evade questions or were confused about what values even mean in today’s Democratic landscape.
Poor Joe: Biden Hit with Humiliating Response After Offering to Help Dems Raise Money: The real question is whether Jill was around when the conversation happened – and what she had to say about it. https://t.co/Wo86gGRcww pic.twitter.com/bCBR6uANQW

The situation begs a comical comparison to the “glorious” Democratic Party of the 1850s, when slaveholding aristocrats ran the show. Back then, their strategy involved nominating lackluster Northerners like Pierce and Buchanan—men so devoid of vision that they seemed tailored to please Southern interests. Fast forward to today, and the parallels are striking. Where the party once followed the whims of Southern gentry, it now finds itself shackled to a president who barely registers as an active participant in politics.
Biden’s political prowess—or lack thereof—mimics those historical figures; he enjoys nothing resembling a robust national base. Aside from a few Delaware elites and possibly some credit card companies, he is left navigating a political wasteland, desperately trying to find relevance. One has to wonder if the same Democrats who once elevated the drab and uninspired are now stuck in a loop of regret as they witness their most recognizable nonentity fumble through his term.
When the Democratic Party decides it has drained Biden of all possible utility, one can only hope they will ensure a graceful exit for him—more like a dusty old relic being removed from a museum display than an esteemed leader in the annals of history. Given the current trajectory, Biden is destined for political obsolescence, and it’s a wonder the Democrats can’t see the writing on the wall.
