Spend some more time with the family, Joe. Thanks for grabbing the wheel, there. We’ll take it from here.

All I know about Harris is from a youtube short where she was just being super weird about that catchphrase of hers.

She’s got no chance against trump and his cult of personality. Noone’s going to be passionate about her.

WoahWoah ,

She’s a nothing-burger. If she is the candidate, we have all the same problems, except we don’t have a reasonable excuse for why she can’t speak coherently. But it’s her turn!

Rentlar ,

we don’t have a reasonable excuse for why she can’t speak coherently.

Which has been half of the Republican smear campaign taglines for more than the last 6 months.

Biden being unable to speak well is not a reasonable excuse to not go to the polls, but now voters don’t have that. It’s up to them now to accept or reject Trump for what he is. It’s time to stop taking “…but but but [nominee] is unelectable!” as a response.

WoahWoah ,

Arguably with no confirmed nominee and the presumptive candidate withdrawing from the race, now is precisely the time to be deciding who is most electable.

Rentlar ,

I agree, but in terms of whether it will be met with slander, it doesn’t matter who the DNC picks. Even if a candidate with the cleanest record and the noblest and most inoffensive intentions were to exist, arguments will be made as to why they are unelectable. (Low-energy? Too aggressive? Too radical? Too bureaucratic?, so on and so forth).

WoahWoah ,

This is true, but having a candidate that hasn’t been in power for the last four years at least forces them to invent new attacks rather than just rehearse the same bullshit and substitute “Harris” for “Biden.” Read Trump’s invective. It’s only minorly about his age, it’s mostly about "the state of the country under this administration. "

Regardless of the fact that it’s basically completely false, it is ready-made to be applied to Harris. Buttigieg or Kelly would require new angles of attack on short notice, which could be advantageous for a democratic candidate.

People will be very passionate about abortion access, which is all the election will be about for over half the population

ichbinjasokreativ ,

Could be, but idk if people care about it that much outside of social media. We’ll see.

He should step down now citing his health after getting Covid. You would then have the first female president.

Kusimulkku ,

Makes me giggly thinking of all the comments about how his age was a nothingburger

Peppycito ,

Time for that phrase to be retired.

Kusimulkku ,

It’ll hang on until last moment before doing that

Whelp, we’re fucked. Get ready for project 2025. This country is done.

chuckleslord ,

Hardly, but I do understand the sentiment. Really wish we’d had an actual primary, but oh well. We’ve definitely got this, people know how bad the cheeto is.

Track_Shovel ,

Man, someone on here fucking called this when NBC reported it pressure for Biden to step down. Had it right down to the phrasing he would use.

Also I guess this twitch channel is gonna have to get another AI

Y’all gonna get real sick of me, but I dont think it matters, even if she does win it.

If anything, this will supercharge the racist bigots into political violence. I hope to God they aren’t numerous enough to cause any serious damage, but Jan 6 is all the evidence we need to see just how horrible MAGAts are.

I will vote Kamala. I will start spreading the news, and get everyone I can behind her. Because it’s anyone vs a Nazi. We don’t have a choice. The Nazis must not come back to power.

Rentlar ,

You are correct the Republicans are going to do that, but the party of Trump’s method is to keep slinging shit until something sticks. That’s going to happen no matter who the candidate is. Biden, for his part, just wiped the board and let all the turds slip off. We have a shot at producing a campaign of hope, rather than a campaign of simply staving off the worst.

Bigotry is already violence.

Holy shit!

UltraGiGaGigantic ,

Well BidenBros, are you happy you divided the party so much to try and get your guy in?

If trump wins, it’s your fault… BidenBros. Hope it was worth it BidenBros.

…whatever. What’s done is done.

What’s the best option going forward, and how do the common rabble like myself best support the newest not-Trump?

iz_ok ,

Once they get the candidate situation situated, donate and canvass for them. Convince your friends to vote. If you feel voting doesn’t matter, remember there’s more on the ballot than the presidential race. A lot of the time meaningful change starts at the local level. You’ll see your political power in action if you get involved in your community.

Rentlar ,

#1 priority is to get out the vote between you, your friends, family and coworkers, and take the trust that Biden has just put in you and everyone else to uphold your democratic values as a nation.

If you want a challenge, your goal is to track every bullshit reason Republicans (some in Democratic sheep’s clothing) fabricate that the new nominee is unelectable, and communicate to your network why those reasons are bullshit, no matter how many times the media repeats it to pass it off as true.

SuddenDownpour ,

For all of y’all anxiety-pilled people: this is great news. Biden was stuck in negative momentum because his health issues had been exposed and were not going to stop resulting in terrible headlines, which is a problem whoever comes next is not going to have, unless the delegates are somehow stupid enough to pull another dinosaur from below the rug.

More interestingly: now that Biden has pulled out because he’s patently too old, as it was a concern for plenty of voters, this is a golden opportunity to put the focus on the other candidate whose age is a somewhat less obvious but still noticeable issue.

timbuck2themoon ,

If 34 felonies, rape, insurrection, etc. Didn’t sway people Im not sure age is the thing that’ll turn them around.

JimSamtanko ,

Yup. It had nothing to do with his age.

Nastybutler ,

Yeah, but just think of all the clips we can show of Faux News talking heads saying someone in their 80s is too old for President, and do the ol’ switcharoo

EnderWiggin ,

Exactly! We now have a much younger, well-spoken, and intelligent candidate who can square off against someone who probably can’t remember the last time they wiped their own ass. Let’s go, Kamala!

The campaign to pressure Harris to step aside starts now.

I’m joking, I think. I can’t tell any more.

tamal3 ,

Can we move the convention forward? I understand that US elections are very high dollar, but would be nice to see the options and have everyone agree that Harris is the most inspiring to all.

Whitmer already said she’s not running. Too bad.

kboy101222 ,

As someone who has worked in the event setup space, if they move up the convention, those workers have my utmost sympathies…

Biden must have received some sign from the Lord. I am confident he would have made for a great 2nd term, but I would also feel bad for his final legacy to be that he handed the election to Trump despite his 1st term successes.

This is your moment, America. It’s in your hands now to see it through in November, kick Trump out no matter who the Democratic nominee will be.

I’ll be keeping an eye on those particular accounts on Lemmy that were constantly calling for resignation, whether anyone as presidential nominee will satisfy them.

Well, Manchin told him to drop out…

Amazing news! Now find someone good with a pulse!
