Now is a great time for if I were there hypotheticals, so here’s mine.
Once it was decided to run Harris and push Biden out, they should have gone all the way and used the 25th amendment to let Harris become president. This would have effectively separated her from Biden while still allowing her to take credit for the good stuff. She could have instructed the DOJ to start investigating price gouging now, and campaigned on needing to win to keep it up.
The 100ish days wouldn’t have been enough for wholesale replacement, but it could have created a concrete message of this is where I want to go. A campaign focused on already delivering is a positive message people could get behind as well.
100%
It’s RBG all over again.
Joe Biden should have stepped down two years ago at least. His diminishing cognitive ability is nothing new.
At least RBG seemed competent, Biden looks more like elder abuse at times.
You’re not wrong.
I’m still shocked anyone thought it was a good idea to put him on live TV or let him in front of a camera unmanaged during the campaign.
Covid was the only reason he won in 2020, they could get away with hiding him away and claim it’s responsible.
Not in this election. Most people are paying double or triple for groceries, utilities, and rent.
Biden was fucked from the get-go. His presidency, for most Americans, has been a travesty.
Kamala had a legit shot to win, but wasted two months of campaign time repeating memes instead of campaigning hard in favor of workers and higher wages. She was also mum on the historic corporate corruption making the lives of ordinary Americans so hard.
Look at my state, Missouri. We voted down the abortion ban in a landslide. We passed a $15 minimum wage in a landslide. We also went for Trump and elected a Republican governor. If Harris had campaigned harder in support of workers, she would have won, I think.
Was the call for her to step down during the time the Democrats controlled the Senate?
Honestly I think he was fine then got covid I think right before the debate and the brain fog fucked him and us.
Nah. The Daily Show’s been running segments on Biden’s decline for years.
I don’t think Trump’s brain is any better.
