It would be the most Democratic Party move ever to push Joe out and announce Hillary again.
It’ll never happen. It’s such an idiotic thought as to make me wonder what the hell your motivations are.
If it wasn’t clear I don’t want it to happen…but over the years I have felt pretty disenfranchised by the actions of the party vs the will of the voters, and I am still going to vote for them.
I am still going to vote for them.
This is why things have gotten progressively worse, they can do anything they want, including ignoring their base, and rest assured it won’t cost them votes.
But the alternative is a gamble on fascism, in a 2 party system you have to pick the establishment you dislike least.
I don’t have to pick either, I refuse to participate in my own subjugation
Which means you’ve made a choice, and it’s pro fascism.
I’m not the one picking fascists to run the country.
Then you are helping the subjugation.
Voting for Biden or whoever his replacement is the subjugation, and liberals cheer on their own suppression
Last time we didn’t vote for Hillary we ended up with a fascist Supreme Court. I’ll hold my judgment.
Lol, you think they would never.
Harris is even more unlikeable than a corpse and hrc, so the DNC will likely settle on her.

Why?
He’s probably racist, or sexist, or both. People love to assume everyone else has their same crappy views.
There needs to be some sort of mini primary, not a Harris coronation. having said that, the chances of the DNC managing to organize something like that and not fuck it up are minimal.
I agree but flip side we cause a bunch of infighting and lose steam. I’ll take either honestly.
If your master plan is to run Harris, just keep Biden. Harris is less likeable than a corpse and hrc. Selecting her as VP was a huge mistake, but mistakes are apparently the DNC’s specialty.
I honestly do not understand the Harris hate? Is it because she was a prosecutor? A woman? Her skin-color? People keep assuring me everyone always hated her, but I legit don’t remember that.
The right was hammering on how she “cackles”, just like they did with HRC. The left is not enamored of her cop past.
I seem to recall something about how she was pretty crappy or made some bad moves while she was DA, but I can’t say for certain 🤷 honestly her VP record seems pretty good. It’s a pretty invisible position, but if you look up stuff specifically she’s been doing a lot of good.
Why? Is it the woman thing?
She was never anything but a token
She was elected as AG twice and as a senator once. It’s not like she was just appointed out of nowhere due to her skin color.
Oh hey, that guy in the other thread was right! Tagging people as “Trumpy” is super helpful!
how do you tag people?
In Sync, you hit the options button on the post, then hit the options button by the name of the user, and there’s a “tag” option. I’d assume other apps have a similar flow
oh: sync.
no, thank you
☝️ Ah, the “DEI” angle. 😐
Please give specific examples as to why Harris is “less likable than a corpse”. Is it because she’s a woman? No vague answers.
Al Gore?
I like the guy, but I think they’re going to want someone who can bring in a swing state.
Harris/Trump?
Nah, Trump doesn’t live in New York, now a swing state, anymore. He lives in Florida, now firmly Republican.
Warren/AOC?
Primary.
Ideally, Biden and Harris would both voluntarily fuck off, placing the needs of the country ahead of personal ambition (well, hubris, really).
Guys, we are completely fucked right now. A jolt to the system is necessary if we wish to maintain even a hope of preserving America.
The fuck??
Harris is the only one meeting with the Democrat’s base for the past year (with Biden), offering assurances to Unions and other groups. You know, the only one actively campaigning aside from Biden.
Its like yall think that this shit doesn’t matter or something.
And a whole lot of fucking good that’s done. What’s necessary is a fresh start, a vigorous process, and, frankly, someone unconnected to Biden’s foreign policy as it applies to israel.
Any assclown can do what you seem to imagine is exclusively in Harris’ wheelhouse.
Edit: I’m voting D no matter what.
No other candidate can inherit Bidens will like Harris can. Specifically with regards to the donations already pledged to Biden.
Biden can donate 100% of his money to the Definitely Not Associated With The Democratic Candidate 2024 PAC. Problem solved, tip of the hat to the traitor John Roberts.
Its not Biden’s money. Its donor’s money earmarked to Biden.
Come on. Don’t pretend that this money wouldn’t go to whoever the D is. But whatever, this conversation is moot.
Please gawd, don’t make it look like they are just anointing a Chosen One, who is due “her turn”. No more diversity box-checking…have a primary. If she wins, then fantastic. Otherwise, it will just be constant division and resentment, and you can count on the bothsiderist media will hit that nerve over and over again to contrast with donnie being so old and in obvious mental decline.
It’s the price for skipping the primary. I have no qualms because I know I spoke up on a 100 different occasions.
Mini primary! We could do it Wipeout style!
Launch a mini primary. No one would win against Trump this late in the race now that they betrayed Biden but anyone else would be better than Harris. At least most other candidates would not have founded their entire career on keeping innocent people in prison
I’m not personally enthused about the idea of having a former cop for a president, it certainly seems like a good way to snag the votes of disgruntled Republicans.
You can do it Joe!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
At the event, which organizers said raised $2 million and was attended by 1,000 guests, Harris did not mention the calls for Biden to leave the race or for her to replace him, instead repeating one of her regular campaign lines: “We’re going to win this election,” she said.
Officials from the highest ranks, including Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, prefer an open process, some believing it would strengthen any Democratic nominee to confront Republican Donald Trump.
“If you think that there is consensus among the people who want Joe Biden to leave… that they will support Kamala, Vice President Harris, you would be mistaken,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said this week on a widely discussed social media post.
Very few of the Democratic lawmakers who are agitating for Biden to leave have mentioned Harris in their statements, and some have said they favor an open nominating process that would throw the party’s endorsement behind a new candidate.
The standoff over Biden’s political future has become increasingly untenable for the party and its leaders, a month from the Democratic National Convention that should be a unifying moment to nominate their incumbent president to confront Trump.
Biden, who sent a defiant letter to Democrats in Congress vowing to stay in the race, has yet to visit Capitol Hill to shore up support, an absence noticed by senators and representatives.
The original article contains 1,117 words, the summary contains 226 words. Saved 80%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
According to the latest polls, Trump wins against Biden.
Well, Biden’s out. So those polls are near useless.
Wait, polls were useful before?
that is why he is out. He would have lost anyway.
Any kind of primary still basically leaves a lot of overseas voters without representation since the time to (a) find out about it (b) get the material to the voters © have the voters be able to print, fill, and sign the forms, and (d) have them be postmarked in time is not going to happen.
