It feels like a lot of opportunities have been lost whilst waiting for the inevitable to happen.

11th hour switch and the delay in getting Biden to step down when they knew his brain was failing will be their downfall.

All that money spent promoting Biden wasted. Good luck.

stoly ,

Ultimately it’s the party nominee rather than the specific person people vote for. All that campaigning still matters.

Xanis ,

I’ll say just one thing:

Every single one of you assholes who wouldn’t shut up about him stepping down since the dude missed the toilet bowl fifty years ago after a particularly wild night out better sure as fuck step up now that Old Joe has stepped down.

A sitting god damned President of the United States has stepped aside less than half a year before reelection. Make no mistake: The man swallowed his pride and ego HARD to make this decision. Let’s honor that by creating a wall of votes so god. damned. thick. Riley Reid would gasp.

I’m not gonna pretend that I love Harris, but this does make me energized enough to try and convince others to vote for her.

I think the hard part is going to be getting Trump to agree to debate her, but she should be able to kick his ass and hit him hard on the issues that matter for this election, as opposed to doddling on a stage arguing about golf.

This decision really raises my opinion of Biden so much. God damn do I love that man, he is truly a great person who dedicated his life to serve his country, literally. He honestly had a great term given the circumstances, and the only thing he probably should have done differently is to not run for reelection to begin with. But he seemed to genuinely believe he could win and stave off Trump. Now that that seemed impossible, he makes a very courageous decision that a lot of people probably wouldn’t have made and puts the country ahead of his ego. Lots of respect from me, and I hope this reinvigorates the democratic base and makes the future brighter for all of us.

That’s why I’m never gonna cancel my USA subscription. Your shows always have a crazy twist right before the season finale.

Jokes aside: Not a single person who even considers voting for Trump is worth any hassle. Their vote is a coin flip on fucking acid. The dems should try to animate the lazy nonvoting pricks.

Definitely should have happened 6 months ago, but better late than never - something about planting a tree.

This also robs the GOP of the hE’s ToO oLd argument, which is one of their only effective attacks.

The biggest hot-topic issue this election should have been abortion (and by extension, SCOTUS). But the discussion got side-tracked by all this talk of old age. The debate just reinforced the narrative and concern with Biden. They would have hammered him over and over, with Trump bragging about how quickly he recovered from an injury.

Now, we have:

  • A sittingVP with actual Whitehouse experience, who can take credit for all the economic policies under Biden. Also, a former Senator.
  • A prosecutor and former Attorney General vs a convicted felon.
  • The age issue disappears (in fact, it now becomes a liability against Trump).
  • A woman vs the guy who bragged about killing Roe v. Wade.
  • Future of SCOTUS.

If she just keeps talking about those topics non-stop, she’ll do fine.

The only thing better would have been if Biden had resigned to let people see her in the actual role, but this works. She picks a mid-westerner as VP who can stand up to Vance and it’s a whole new ballgame.

I’m actually stoked about this race again.

HonkTonkWoman ,

Could we tap Liz Cheney to be our Vance wrangler?

Not a candidate, no, KH will still need a VP.

I just mean a wrangler. Someone who’s sole purpose is to disrupt JD Vance anyway possible…

Maybe she could:

  • Follow JD around, constantly whispering that she’s going to grab him by his pussy
  • Send him noose shaped flowers and cakes to decorate his new office
  • Pay Clint Howard to randomly walk by Vance every day & accuse him of ruining his brother’s directing career
  • Leave a conspicuous trail of classified documents behind him
  • Lewdly suggest she would have her relations with her attractive child, on camera
  • Smear fecal matter on his desk & let Pelosi call of his efforts a bowl of poopoo
  • Constantly make contact & remind JD who her father is.

I think Liz Cheney would be awesome at all of these things. As long as we don’t “elect” her, what could go wrong?

nothing got sidetracked it just was never dealt with or talked about in a meaningful discussion or in any way in the last fifty years of Biden’s career

just like the minimum wage is not enough to cover the astronomical costs of food and housing and was not even brought up during the debate

yes lets support a prosecutor that represents the police who want their boots shined with our tongues

merc ,

Unfortunately we also have:

  • A non-white candidate
  • A non-male candidate
  • A very sexist and racist electorate, who basically voted Trump in because they were so upset by the election of Barack Hussein Obama

It remains to be seen if the racists and sexists will prevail.

Having said that, this might energize women who are on the fence and want to see the first female president. It might energize black voters. It will almost certainly energize Indian voters, possibly even all South-Asian voters. It will definitely energize voters who were worried about the age of the candidates. And now, suddenly, Trump has to go on the defensive about his age.

As long as all the democrats fall in line and push for Kamala, it might go really well. If Hillary Clinton goes out and works for Kamala, it could energize the people who are still angry about her loss, and can now channel that into the new option for a first female president. If Biden campaigns for her, it could reassure all the people who just wanted some stability.

OTOH, if there is infighting, and people trying to take her down so that they can become the nominee, then that could be trouble too.

paddirn ,

I would love for Kamala Harris to be more charismatic and less ineffectual than she currently is, I’ll vote for whoever is not Trump. Now is the perfect opportunity to reinvigorate the campaign and turn everything upside down, but I’m not optimistic. They’ll probably trot out Hillary Clinton again if it’s not Harris, and it’ll be a replay of 2016.

dhork ,

The only thing better would have been if Biden had resigned to let people see her in the actual role, but this works.

I used to be an advocate for this, until I realized that in this political environment, whoever President Harris picks for VP would need both House and Senate approval, and this House will take a page from Mitch’s book and simply not bother. So you would have your first female and mixed-race President, in a country full of armed bigots, and if they get to her, Mike Johnson becomes President and can start Project 2025 early.

Everyone needs to join a church before the Nazi MAGA army starts hunting atheists

You can’t identify an atheist on sight like you can a minority
