If genocide Joe goes away, so does the phoney baloney jobs of lots of people in his faction. Losing with Genocide Joe means that they're still in control of the party and the funds it raises and they will have time to find a new figurehead. If genocide Joe is replaced then the new guy might bring in their own set of clients and sycophants, pushing out the old guard. Especially someone as Hunter is going to be completely irrelevant once his daddy is no longer the president.

Continuing the elder abuse into electoral disaster is the rational thing to do for a lot of very powerful people.

Do these people think they're immune from the Fascism? Did they forget the Pelosi attacker or ignore all of the escalating threats to literally jail all of them? You'd think for the sake of survival they would take this election a lot more seriously.

I think that being mostly super old, they operate almost as half-dead automatons who default to the same procedures and canned lines they relied on daily when they were decades younger, even though their toolkit is completely unsuited for politics in the current moment. It's why Dianne Feinstein mumbled a bunch of shit to the Sunrise Movement protestors about how she knew how to get things done better than those kids, and that they should let her work, only to go on to do nothing to combat climate change, and then die in office.
