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.

Nah. This is a good thing.

slickgoat ,

Well, the Trump team has been panicking in anticipation of this happening. They have already started launching law suits trying to stop it. The biggest scare they had was Biden’s age and that may have just vaporised?

BallsandBayonets ,

If nothing else, this should be a sign that Biden stepping aside was the right move.

kandoh ,

It looks good that the democrat is willing to give up power. People do notice that sort of stuff.

“President Biden put his country first and stepped aside. When Donald Trump was told by the voters to get lost, he called on his followers to march on the capitol.”

Source on the lawsuits? I need to broadcast that

Damn it, I was only reading about that this morning. Now I shall have to try and find it. Give me a few.

OTOH, Biden countered a lot of their favourite lines of attack.

He was a white, catholic man who was obviously not rich. They couldn’t attack his religious beliefs without inviting comparisons to Trump. They couldn’t attack his race or his sex. They couldn’t make him out to be a threat to American values, when his image was always very friendly and loving.

They’re going to go hard on Kamala being the “DEI” candidate. They’re going to go hard on her not being Christian (whether or not she is, they’re going to imply that she isn’t, just like they claimed that non-white Obama was a muslim). There are tons of lines of attack that are now open to them because they’re not running against Biden anymore.

Nobody knows how this is going to turn out. It all depends on how undecided people vote. And, if you’re undecided at this stage, you’re an absolute moron. Who can predict the vote of the low-information moron voter?

Zaktor ,

And now Trump is the dangerously old one. Hammer it home. He’s incoherent and a hamburger away from death.

Netanyahu will try to fuck things up in Gaza as much as possible because he 100% prefers Trump to Harris.

But now Biden is president and not running. Dark Brandon might just be unleashed like never before.

assassin_aragorn ,

This is where Biden remaining president to finish his term is strategically wise. It provides a plausible layer of separation between Harris and Gaza. She can go against Biden and make criticisms – and Biden for his part would need to express disagreement with her.

Bumblefumble ,

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.

come up for air you are choking on it

Dkarma ,

Coming from maga throatpie that’s hilarious

abracaDavid ,

Yeah the Biden dick riding is fucking crazy.

It’s not like he graciously stepped down. It took almost the entire DNC calling for him to step down before he would.

Not to mention that he’s been funding a genocide, and did practically nothing to address the biggest issue of our lives, which is climate change.

Bumblefumble ,

As a European progressive I obviously don’t worship Biden, but I have really come to respect him and he has been nothing but a class act throughout his whole term. He is stepping down and handing over the reins, now is as good a time as ever to recognize him as a - quite surprisingly honestly - good president.

assassin_aragorn ,

That’s fine, the choking helps me show just how much I appreciate him doing this.

What, did you think I was going to take this an insult? “Oh no he’s saying I’m sucking another man’s penis!”

Nah. Biden just showed he’s putting the country over his ego. That’s not something Trump would’ve ever done, and very few politicians at all would do this. I’m going to keep guzzling for as long as I damn please, thank you very much.

kelargo ,

President Biden is doing what Justice Ginsburg couldn’t do and look what that accomplished.

Let’s gooooo! Harris/AOC, maybe? That would be wild

HomerianSymphony ,

No chance. Maybe Harris/Kelly.

MutilationWave ,

They’ll never run two women. It’s too risky. Don’t get me wrong I’d love it.

capital ,

Waiting for the “you’re gonna vote for a cop?” comments on Lemmy in regards to Harris.

MutilationWave ,

They’re already here. I hate the fucking cops but damn right I’ll vote for one over fascism.

Maggoty ,

Let’s fucking go! Harris 2024!

floofloof , (edited )

I kind of expected them to announce another candidate, not just that their only candidate wouldn’t be. Do they have to elect a candidate now? For how long will only one party have a candidate?

Edit: Just read that they’ll choose the candidate in late August. So for a whole month there will be only Republican campaigning in the media, unless the Democrats can make their process interesting enough to catch the media’s attention.

Another edit: Seems they’re moving much quicker than that after all.

dhork ,

Biden has already endorsed Harris, at least on Twitter. I think that part is over. They already have to nominate someone early due to some deadlines, so the actual nomination will happen in the next week or two. It’s Harris. We should all accept it.

harrys_balzac ,

Goddamn this timeline sucks hairy balls (not to be confused with me cuz ain’t nobody sucking me). I didn’t like her as a VP pick and I don’t like the idea of her as President but she’s still 1000 times better than Cheetodick.

I’d love to see them nominate Bernie or AOC for VP. That’s how they’ll get the 18-24 year olds to come out to vote.

bolexforsoup ,

18-24 year olds didn’t show up for Bernie in 2015 or 2019. They aren’t coming this time. Their enthusiasm always get way overestimated.

5redie8 ,

Probably because that’s one of the primary demos of sites like Lemmy and reddit, plus some sub populations of Twitter

bolexforsoup ,

I also think millennials/gen X need to not demand Gen Z bail us out, especially since a substantial portion can’t even vote yet.

MutilationWave ,

Why not? As an elder millennial/xennial I’d be totally happy with Zs coming up to me saying we saved your ass for the rest of my life if they show up to vote.

mosiacmango ,

The media loves conflict, and this is going to be a juicy one. If anyhting, this sucks the wind out of Trump’s campaign.

Its still going to be “dems in disarray” non stop until they pick someone, but it mutes that chucklefuck up.

djsoren19 ,

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.

laverabe ,

I just looked up some of her positions and she does seem a bit more progressive than Biden was. She cosponsored Bernie’s medicare for all bill a few years ago and supports marijuana legalization.

I think this whole mess could actually be a net positive for democrats as it reinvigorates enthusiasm (“hope and change”, version 2024)

OldWoodFrame ,

After the Schumer leak, this had to happen.

It has to be Kamala and anyone thinking otherwise is dumb.

And I don’t know if Kamala can win. I don’t know if she could do better than Joe would do. But I know she’ll do better than what would happen if Joe had a second debate like the first debate.

If nothing else, this keeps it close.

kandoh ,

This feels very energizing. I think you’ll see democrats get a lot more excited about the election now. They’ll have a great time watching the talking heads arguing over who should be VP. The contrast between team hold-onto-power-no-matter-what and team democrat will not be missed on low information voters.

merc ,

she’ll do better than what would happen if Joe had a second debate like the first debate.

Or, what would happen if there was no second debate, which I’m sure is what the Republicans were planning for. Why consider a second debate when the only thing it could do is make Biden look better? They would have used every rule and excuse to get out of having a second debate so that the only image voters had of Biden was from the first one.

This just shows that both political parties in ameria are insane. The dems just gift Trump the office. They deserve the 2nd Trump term. Just sad for the rest of the world that doesnt deserve it.

Dems now have a non-zero chance of winning 2024.

This is my take as well.
