That's why we have a vice president.
You can't run a corpse as a nominee. You'll lose the election. If you think Harris should be president, advocate for that position.
No. You can’t run a corpse as a nominee. That’s what the DNC is running one of the most, if not the most, productive presidents in modern times. And if this candidate, who also happens to be the oldest person ever elected president dies in office, there’s a vice president to take over.
I genuinely don’t understand the call to replace the person who has already been nominated as the democratic candidate. The dude was old as shit in 2016 and shouldn’t have been nominated then. If anything, he’s convinced me he’s better at the job than I had imagined.
Evidently, you can also nominate a rapist, twice impeached, insurrectionist, fascist, verifiable narcissistic who has no desire to help anyone but himself, and the other person who’d still hold the record for the oldest person ever elected president too; and for a growing number of Americans that’s better. Frankly, I honestly would vote for a literal corpse, given the option.
It's because they're accelerationist at worst. Or lefty equivalents of MAGA-ts at best. They're not offering any solutions. They're not offering any pertinent or useful discussion. They push out divisive specifically anti Biden bullshit exponentially more than any other political content. And you can verify it. Go look at the post histories of any of them.
As an example I looked earlier just out of curiosity. Ozma had actually managed to post a neutral to someone positive article about ocasio-cortez earlier. (It's a rare occurrence but it does happen sometimes for them.) And about five or six Biden needs to step down posts. And they aren't unique. There's a short list of names around here which one can look at and see identical Behavior.
You aren't going to gain much by engaging with them. Best faith portrayal of them really is that they are just ignorant heavily propagandized single issue voters. Much like Republican Second Amendment voters. Who believe so ardently so deeply that Democrats are coming from their guns that they will religiously vote in the Republicans who actually have come for their guns. They are so propalestine and so aghast at what Biden did. You have to ask yourself whether that was when he expedited or when he delayed the shipment of arms. But one or the other they're so aghast and concerned about it. That they will do anything to keep him from getting reelected even if it means more Palestinians will die in the end. It's not logical strategic or intelligent.
I disagree...downvote, downvote, downvote. /s
The fuck is wrong with this place. It's starting to look more and more like Reddit every day.
