Biden dropping out right now would all but guarantee that Trump won the Presidency. Anyone calling for him to drop out knows this, and is doing it likely as someone who is horribly misguided, or intentionally to try and sway our elections by a foreign entity.
We're past the point of registrations across multiple states, the supreme court is controlled by the right, and there is absolutely no way to swap those names out and get the new names on the ballot without pushing it all up the ladder to -- you guessed it -- An illegitimate supreme court who has shown us they'll make shit up on the spot to get the result that their owners want.
So people calling for Biden to 'step down' - are either doing it because they're too stupid to realize the reality of things, or they are a foreign agent attempting to sow division and limit voters on the left. Follow those social chains up to who they originate from -- I guarantee they originate from people who are intentionally there to sow division in an attempt to sway our elections.
Here's a list of the dated deadlines to be placed on the ballot in various states: https://ballotpedia.org/Deadline_to_run_for_president,_2024
So understand first and foremost, anyone saying Biden needs to have someone replace him right now -- They know this.
LOL, no we're not. Biden hasn't even been nominated yet. The earliest deadline is Ohio, which is requiring the Democratic party to do a special virtual vote to get on, but that's still in the future.
Your link is a list of filing deadlines for the primary.
So maybe after being wrong and accusing everyone else of being foreign agents, check your own information sources that are trying to convince you of this.
All of this is wrong, according to the DNC’s own rules and history of being able to handle such situations, and common sense.
Oh those matter now? They didn't matter when they were arguing in court that they could choose their nominee in a smoke filled back room.
I mean I wouldn't call all people who want Biden to drop out as intentionally being for Trump. Alot of it is fear, panic, and maybe a bit of ignorance of historical trends. By alot of historical metrics, it does increase the chance for Trump winning, I'll admit that. But I wouldn't say that it's guaranteed.
It's sow, as in sowing seeds, not sew, as in joining together with thread.
Thx for the correction.
What would happen if Biden died next week? Would all those processes you mention prevent his name from being changed ?
Yeah. They actually would.
This is Abigail Disney. She's rich but she's not the brightest crayon in the box politically. Her PhD is in philosophy and her dissertation was about the role of romanticized violence and war in American life. Her lists of philanthropy is what one would expect from a run of the mill rich person level activism. Tossing money at the high level stuff, never diving deeper to the root of the problem.
I'm not dissing the lady, but she absolutely falls into the misguided on this aspect.
Sincere question did you watch the debate in its entirety?
I saw Trump lying his ass off and Biden flabbergasted at the sheer audacity of some of those lies.
You didn’t watch it.
Are you denying that Trump lied every time he opened his mouth?
No, but a person doesn’t need to watch it to know that.
And once again we come back to the liberal conspiracy theory of "We're the only adults in the room, and anyone who disagrees with us is co-opted by foreign powers". The worst part of it all is the shamelessness of pulling this bullshit when so much people knows you're talking out of your ass. Fuck off.
So you're a horribly misguided rube of someone else. Got it.
