I was not turning out for Joe. Even if its Harris im voting now. Id prefer it not be Harris, but a much younger president, starting a first term of hopefully 2, we’re definitely taking back some Court seats.

blahsay ,

Harris has less chance than Biden. Literally just grab a Labrador, put a blue tie on him and let him do the job - better chance getting elected than Harris.

LemmyLingo ,

I’m seriously looking forward to the HBO drama about the first election campaign, Jan 6th, the Biden presidency, and then the second campaign in twenty years. It’s gonna go so hard.

ImpressiveEssay ,

Well guys… Have you seen Trump’s mental decline since he last ran?! How old is he now?

Surely nobody would be dumb enough to vote someone that old into office now… That is… What we have been saying? Right guys?

Blackmist ,

Yeah, but they don’t care. They don’t want a competent and coherent president. They want Trump, because he hates the same people they hate, and he’s not afraid to say so.

The teams don’t play by the same rules and never have.

Furbag ,

Oh boy, I can’t wait for armchair pundits who were calling for Joe to step down to now turn around and start to nitpick Harris as if that wasn’t going to be the obvious successor.

I’m 100% behind Harris or anyone who gets the Dem nom. Trump must be stopped.

This is still a battle for America’s soul. Are we going to accept the first female president or the first convicted felon president? I sure hope the left turns out for this one, even if they aren’t super stoked about it, because we might never recover from another Trump disaster.

and this is exactly why Trumps exist

one party is actively tearing down society and the other is complacent and the voters eat it up

zbyte64 ,

It’s not just pundits, Nancy Pelosi wants Harris off the ticket. I already donated to her campaign and called my reps to let them know that’s a bad idea.

cabron_offsets ,

I don’t prefer Harris, but am 100% fine with her. Any D 2024. Fuck the republican traitor filth.

Blackmist ,

She’s a very bland candidate, but at least she’s not 80 and fading.

Whether that’s enough to get people up off their arses and into voting booths, I don’t know.

You really need somebody that’s going to invigorate the centre and left, the way Trump excites the right. Dyed in the wool Dems don’t care who the candidate is, they’d have been happy with Biden’s corpse. The issue is there’s not a lot of time left for experimentation in finding one.

Just FYI so you don’t get ‘gotchaed’, Trump isn’t the oldest nominee ever. Neither was Biden. Record is still held by Peter Cooper from the reconstruction era who was 84 when nominated.

(also wild beard on that guy

Valmond ,

Nobody cares, Trump is so old and decripit it’s a miracle he can still walk.

Now that Biden doesn’t care about reelection, what kind of “Official acts” might he do?

Maggoty ,

Let’s fucking go! Harris 2024!

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.

Draedron ,

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.

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

Tygr ,

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.

Shameless ,

11th hour? The nomination for the party hasn’t even happened, there is around 5 months to the polls, this is definitely not the 11th hour.

Tygr ,

We’ll see. It’s the 11th hour. Sooooo late.

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.

abracaDavid ,

It took pretty much the entire Democratic party calling for him to step down before he would.

He came out and said multiple times that he wasn’t going anywhere. He was forced out.

Hackworth ,

Didn’t he also get Covid last week?

Contravariant ,

Wouldn’t surprise me if that’s what sealed the deal for him.

I mean the deadlines are closing and having to fight to even stay in the race while president of the U.S. and recovering from an illness is not something anyone looks forward to.

Frankly I hope he can catch a break for a bit, and enjoy a pension after all this is over.

assassin_aragorn ,

He came out and said multiple times that he wasn’t going anywhere

This was always going to be one of those things where “despite saying 8 hours ago that he was committed to the election and was not going to drop out, he has now dropped out”. You’re never going to see someone in these situations say “eh might drop out, not sure”

fine_sandy_bottom ,

So what.

The point is, it’s time to unite behind a candidate and look like we want to win.

Sconrad122 ,

Am one of those “assholes”. Kamala was far from my favorite candidate in 2020, but I just donated a hefty (for me) chunk of change and will be volunteering. I didn’t need perfection, just a feasible path to victory in November and now we have it. I’m so pumped right now, project 2025 no longer looks like an inevitability. LFG!

FlaminGoku ,

Riley Reid: Oh god you’re going to make me vote

Hackworth ,

I will vote for whoever the Dems put up, as I would have voted for BIden. It’s fantastic that he stepped down, cause he is clearly unfit to serve. He should probably step down from the Presidency right now, asshole.

Wiz ,
  • for whomever

It’s the object of the preposition, asshole. Git gud.

Hackworth ,

Truly a clarion call for unity.

utubas ,

Lmao

andrewth09 ,

I am one of those assholes. Once the DNC formally endorses a candidate I’ll donate to their campaign.

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)
