President Biden yesterday gave a stemwinder of a speech arguing principally, and with no trace of irony, that to vote for the opposing party in the upcoming election is to betray democracy.

A few hours before making this grand pronouncement, Biden’s White House put out the following statement: “Seniors are getting the biggest increase in their Social Security checks in 10 years through President Biden’s leadership.”
