So I will go ahead and say that uh yes, yes they are.

#FireChrisHayes is trending

Because he didn’t sufficiently believe all bidens and actually covered the Tara Reade story.

So I gather it’s still going to be my fault when Trump gets reelected.

Absolutely, which will, in turn, make it all the more important that the left be shut out of the primary for 2024.

If you’ve got a better plan to stop Florida Man, I’m all ears.

1757

I can vaguely recall one alternative.

I checked PredictIt and Abrams is only 0.08 to be the VP? She’s willing to jump in front of this Tara Reade allegation from out of nowhere like Clint Eastwood in that Secret Service movie, surely that kind of raw opportunism won’t go unrewarded.

The guy who’s no longer running? Jill Stein? Like, show your work here.

1759

No, andrew cuomo didn’t run for president. You must be mistaking him with someone else.

We could try breaking the DNC right now. Force the crisis when we have the opportunity. Let’s throw Joe “creepy hands” Biden under all the buses we can find. Monkeywrench the whole god damn party and see if maybe we can build something from the ashes. Because if we can’t do that I honestly don’t see any point in even trying.

I’m seeing a whole lot of “I got nothing” from Team Greater of Two Evils.

Is there a thread for “worst idea ever”?

1763

This thread is about the Democrats nominating joe Biden, so yeah man, there is a thread for that.

Some of you seriously think the best path forward is to keep on keepin’ on with Uncle Gropey? Really? It’s not even May yet. The election is still more than 6 months away. The convention, if it even happens, isn’t until mid-August.

For fuck’s sake, could we at least maybe TRY to fight for something, just once?

OK, what’s your plan?

1766

I’m assuming they’ll pick the VP nominee the same way they ended up with biden, spend months waffling then just go with what they think is the safest bet. Get ready for HRC as the VP

1767

Already posted it above. I guess the concept forcing the party to consider a new nominee 3-1/2 months before the nomination is just some wildly unthinkable crazy talk.

I’m going back to ignoring this thread before I get even more pissed off.

1768

If they try to replace Biden, it will probably be via his VP pick. I assume the plan would be to COAST TO VICTORY on the wave of ORANGE MAN BAD, let Joe fun around for a couple of months and then, regrettably, due to health issues etc.

But even that seems unlikely to me, on the simple grounds that it ascribes too much strategic coherence to the Dems. It’s really just a loosely-coordinated group of button-mashing careerists. But even they have to be aware that it’s not likely Biden can complete a full term, even if he manages to limp over the line in November. So the VP pick is still likely to be someone more credible as an actual President than, uh, some previous picks.

tl;dr they won’t sub in Cuomo but he may get tapped for VP.

1769

This is a lot different than blow up the DNC, live through the fallout, and build from the rubble as you stated above.

That is the Bernie Bro plan which gives us 4 more years of trump. That is the plan I was calling all time bad.

If you simply want to push for a different candidate now before the election well hell ya I’m on board.

1770

I dunno, without reading that report my general default is that whatever Chris Cilizza says is usually wrong.
