I would demand a rule change for the next debate - live fact checking. Trump will say no, Biden can bow out stating there is no point in a debate when the other guy fills the time with lies.
Billionaire dem donors don’t want Biden’s tax plans to go through. So, of course he’s too old and the money is drying up. We are a country run by billionaires buying politicians and political power. It’s over.
The last thing any of us should want is Biden stepping down. WE are not the ones that will have any influence over who would be picked to be the candidate and we all know the $$$$$ will fuck this up. If Harris isn’t anointed, we lose a massive amount of the black vote and that is a damn big risk to take. Couple that with the guaranteed litigation from the GOP, along with the bought courts and that’s it - Dictator Trump is in.
Gen Z seems to give a shit. They are the generation that got to live through being shot at in schools and lock down drills and it’s only gotten worse. A lot of them are or have been voting age for a bit and should show up this time. Maybe.
To be fair - one or both could die before November. A bad case of COVID could easily take Trump out. These guys are OLD. 4 months is a loooong time and a ton of stress.
He has a vision - but it’s BORING and boring doesn’t sell. It keeps the country and global economy going, but it’s not sexy and does not get the attention as well as “fight, fight , fight.”
Biden is not dropping out per Jennifer Dylan (campaign chairwoman). She was on morning Joe this morning. I don’t think he can drop out due to the GOP and their ownership of the courts.
Minimally impacted until he does some insane shit like impose massive tariffs on all goods. To assume that a Trump presidency isn’t going to be anything other than a giant disaster is foolish.
Biden could lose, resign and hand Harris 3 months to overturn an election. The GOP would do it. Nothing is stopping her from doing it - especially with her having immunity. If we are gonna watch this fucker burn, at least make it interesting.
The other half of Harris running is who would she pick for VP. Too many democrats want Pete as VP. That’s a dead end ticket - again because we aren’t that progressive as a society. Has a VP been discussed?
Have you guys forgotten where we live? A black woman is not getting elected. This country is deeply racist and misogynistic. White, male democrats that aren’t a Biden lock will stay home. OR is my perception skewed because I work in Houston, in a mostly white, male industry?
There is four long months until the election. We haven’t made it through disaster season on the east coast / Gulf coast. The 24 hours news cycle has to have news for ads and clicks. Good news does not produce clicks.
