    Right, intra-party politics seems to put way too much value in party loyalty--running against an incumbent is a way to get yourself blacklisted by the party, which leads to an unhealthy pattern of unthinking support for declining leaders. It seems like Democrats are making this mistake in 2024 by not running a candidate to replace the obviously declining Joe Biden; it could well lead to a catastrophic re-election of Donald Trump.
