Joe is in fact fine, as shown by the overwhelming majority of the evidence. The polling will go back to where it was the minute Ds stop giving the story more legs by talking like the possibility of replacing him is real or desirable.

I don’t care who the nominee is, you don’t replace your incumbent in August when early voting starts in September some places. It’s insane!

welp

[eyebooger]

To be fair, looks like replacement wasn’t in August.

John Oliver completely screwed lol. Off for 4 weeks before this, then taped his next show yesterday.

And yes it’s a little weird that this is the first thing I thought of.

Congrats dems
you did the impossible!!

Nice byproduct: I’m way behind on my podcast queue and a bunch of them just became instantly irrelevant and ready for deletion.

As I was scrolling this thread and the discussion turned to legal hurdles to replacing Biden, I remembered that some states have laws requiring pledged delegates to vote for the person they are pledged to.

Overall I think dropping out was a bad decision. It looks desperate which will inspire legal challenges. The next 3 months will be about process and how the Ds are being weirdos instead of talking about how awful Trump is.

There was at least a chance having a straight up race on the disadvantages of each candidate. But now no one will be paying any attention to the awfulness of Trump, which was always the best way to beat him.

lulz.

This post is the only evidence I need to know this was the correct decision.

[Slighted]

i think those people in those states would be pledged to Harris, because they are already pledged to her since she was on the ticket.

but who knows.

[clovis8]

Not enough lulz in the universe.

Was starting a longer response, but why do that when this is perfect?

If Pelosi thinks it’s fine, it’s fine (re: process issues)

CNN has like the C-team in the studio right now. Wonder if Wolf or Anderson are on their way in.

THATS SOCIALISM

ETA: I do appreciate your commitment to the bit though.

[iron81]

It doesn’t even matter whether the process is fixable, what matters is that process will occur in torrents, which takes the Ds off message.

[clovis8]

Does the constitution say top and bottom of ticket can’t be from same state? CNN suggesting so.

Kamala sucks. Might be worse than Hillary in terms of electability
