  1. As stupid as this is, I'm not sure Biden still doesn't win. Dems haven't lost anything since Dobbs. "Yeah, Biden is old but Trump wants to force my 14 year old daughter to have a baby."
  2. The fact that Harris as sitting VP isn't the unanimous unofficial choice says a lot. She's a known quantity at this point and she is seemingly worried about this going to a vote.
  3. No but they probably would at that point. She'd be the sitting president.
  4. Then she becomes president and they would still have a vote at the convention.
  5. Return it or spend on the new candidates behalf. The new ticket would have $100M raised within a week.
  6. That's actually a great idea. Laughed at the Taylor Swift part but people would watch that. The whole process would captivate America and the Trump meltdown would be epic. If Biden steps aside, those delegates would be open. It would be the same as if he wasn't the incumbent and just died or something.
  7. Of course they wouldn't be because she'd lose that to Whitmer but how can she be against actual voting?
  8. 🍿 Their idea goes something like this, according to a memo shared with Semafor that has been circulated to Democratic donors and bundlers as well as officials within the Biden campaign and administration: Biden would step down as the Democratic nominee in mid-July, and announce the new system, with backing from Vice President Kamala Harris. Potential candidates would have a few days to throw their respective hats in the ring. The Democratic Party then would begin a primary sprint in which the six candidates who receive the most votes from delegates pledge to run positive-only campaigns in the month leading up to the convention. The “blitz primary” would involve weekly forums with each candidate moderated by cultural icons (Michelle Obama, Oprah, and Taylor Swift are among the names floated in the memo) in order to engage voters. The nominee would ultimately be chosen by the delegates using ranked choice voting before the start of the Chicago convention on Aug. 19. It would be announced with plenty of fanfare on the third day of the gathering. The memo imagines the nominee unveiled on stage with Biden, Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. https://www.semafor.com/article/07/07/2024/blitz-primary-could-open-up-democratic-race-if-biden-drops-out
  9. They're just pledged. Sure, it says they're bound to vote for him but there is no penalty for doing what they want.
  10. This is how it works and this applies to Biden as well as Harris. (The Republicans don't have super delegates.)
  11. I like how Harris is a "diversity hire" but Pence wan't even though he was picked specifically for the evangelical crowd.
  12. The big cigars need to tell him that everyone in his entire family will be blackballed until the end of time and he can build his own god damned library.
  13. That's better than his crackhead son....
  14. I like how the President of the United States is taking political advice from his crack head son.
  15. Yeah, this is why they all had long faces the day after the debate. It’s like how everyone here wanted Jimbo to win enough to stay at Aggy.
  16. This is how you move on from Harris. Tag with her part of the deception.
  17. "THERE'S A MARRIAGE CRISIS!!! WHY WON'T A WOMAN MARRY ME???"
  18. Yeah, this. Had Trump died or something leaving Pence the nominee, you wouldn't see Republicans not voting.
  19. Trump is also too old. This needs to be hammered like a nail as soon as there is a new nominee.
  20. Shit gettin' real now: Abigail Disney, the granddaughter to Roy O. Disney, who cofounded The Walt Disney Company, told CNBC on Thursday that she plans to withhold donations to the party she has funded for years until Biden drops out. The president has said he has no plans to withdraw from the race, despite calls for him to do so. And she’s not the only one pausing gifts until Biden steps down. Gideon Stein, the president of the Moriah Fund, said he’s decided to pause planned donations of $3.5 million, earmarked for nonprofits and political organizations aligned with the presidential race. “Joe Biden has been a very effective president, but unless he steps aside my family and I are pausing on more than $3 million in planned donations to nonprofits and political organizations aligned with the presidential race, with the exception of some down ballot work,” Stein said. “Virtually every major donor I’ve talked to believes that we need a new candidate in order to defeat Donald Trump.” Karla Jurvetson, a philanthropist and major Democratic donor, hinted as recently as Tuesday in a private donor call that she agrees with the sentiment on pausing donations until Biden steps down and could end up making such move, according to a person familiar with her remarks. The person was granted anonymity in order to speak freely about a private conversation. A spokesman for Jurvetson did not return repeated requests for comment. Jurvetson is among the top 50 donors this cycle across the country, donating over $5 million to Democrats, according to OpenSecrets. She’s given over $200,000 to the Biden Victory Fund this cycle, according to FEC records. Jurvetson gave over $30 million to Democrats in 2020, according to the data. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/07/04/democratic-donors-wont-finance-party-until-joe-biden-drops-out.html
  21. Just as important, he might get some whites in PA, MI, and WI....
  22. He's younger, too. I like Cooper but he's 67, according to the Inter-google. All three of them seem to be able to get votes in either red or purple states.
  23. As much as I'd like Kelly, those aren't terrible choices, particularly Beshear...
