US Joe Biden News Megathread - The Other Biden Derangement Syndrome Thread (with a side order of Fauci Derangement Syndrome)

Let's pretend for one moment that he does die before the election, just for the funsies. What happens then? Will the nomination revert to option number 2, aka Bernie Sanders? Or will his running mate automatically replace him just the way Vice-President is supposted to step in after the Big Man in the White House chokes on a piece of matzo? Does he even have a running mate yet?

So they're mad that they lost their main source of information flow for the masses? Does the DNC have stock in FB?

Unlike Dorsey/Twitter, Zuck wants to hedge his bet and back both the left and right for maximum profits and ending up winning no matter who is in power. Democrats can't tolerate such blasphemy so they want to martyr Facebook for social media's collective sins so Twitter remains untouched.

If Biden's still alive/hasn't resigned/no 25th amendment, what are the odds he gets a huge primary challenge in 2024? Whoever runs against Biden obviously will have zero institutional support but they'll have a lot of popular support and probably win at least at least Vermont. Can Bernie do it again just to flip the bird to Joe and the establishment Dems? I bet the debates would be great if they were allowed to happen.

Horrifying thought, that would be anudda 1/6.

It's the same people behind the scenes who convinced the Progressives that baby-killin' Maverick McCain was an American hero, that Dick Cheney's daughter was a hero following in his footsteps, and that George W. Bush wasn't that bad of a president.

The Democrats won't allowing anyone to primary Biden BUT will most definitely have him opt not to run again if push comes to shove that it looks like someone will primary him if things get bad by 2024. The question comes though WHO will risk the wrath of the DNC to primary Biden, combined with the notion of who the Democrats will allow to run as his successor if they pull an audible and have Biden decline to run again.

Truth be told, if NYC continues to do those vaccine papers requirements in bars on top of their defund the police stunt last year, more people will be irritated with the government and not bother. Smaller communities are not even bothering. They're already having trouble with unemployment.

If BLM continues to protest against vaccine requirements, things will get real interesting.

How long until BLM decides to go protest De Blasio's home. Or that bitch governor's home. Then you'll see some real shit happening.

Has anything further even come of that so far? I have a feeling some key figures were already quietly told by their DNC handlers to shut the fuck up and trust usthe science, you're ruining everything! after that whole restaurant business.

Everyone upstate hates everyone downstate, with good reason but I get your point.

We don't hate everyone downstate as much as the fact that politicans like the former Cuomo, like Chuck Schumer, et cetera, focus almost exclusively on NYC problems and don't give a fuck about upstate.

Upstate NY isn't red, but it's only blue by like 52-48.

New York State will never go red because of NYC, but I can see Upstate becoming very purple in the next year or so if this shit continues.

Edit: It might even be less than that. I took the 2020 election results for NYS, removed 6 counties that "essentially" make up the bulk of the NYC vote (Westchester, Manhatten, Brooklyn, Queens, Nassau, Bronx), and it came out to Biden 2.305M and Trump 2.212M. That's only a 51-49 split. To be fair though, I did leave in Staten Island which Trump won 57-42 because that is a more conservative part of downstate.

 

[Feline Supremacist]

I agree; that's the irony. All Biden needs to do to "win" is the exact opposite of what the party has been doing all this time. That's why it will be impossible for him to do so.

"These people did not die of COVID this summer, comrade; they have died of the flu as the coroner here (with a gun at the small of his back) has verified. This year we saw a very bad flu season and the flu vaccine did not anticipate this new flue variant. Pfizer, J&J and Moderna have worked hard and have a new flu vaccine so you must get it now, comrade! Long live the glorious People's Republic of Amerika!"

(please clap now comrade or your family gets it)

We don't hate everyone downstate

I hate everyone downstate though, despite living there.

To be honest.

One of the issues the DNC created was running bidden in the first place. I used to respect the DNC primary method over the GOP. Ideally the party should have tighter control over who their candidate is. Fuck look at how the GOP tore itself apart with Mitt Romney.

But in a functional party with greater control over who their candidate is they should ve naturally weeded out joe based on his mental condition.

That, or they were far too short sighted about it, letting their greed and Chinese blackmail force them to put that cocksucker as candidate.

They tried to push literally everyone else but Biden, I'd blame the base before I blame the DNC for his candidacy. When Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar are getting serious press attention all the way until South Carolina in an attempt to get the base to vote for ANYONE but empty Obama nostalgia in Biden, I don't assume that the party leadership is happy with the candidate.
After 2016's whole saga with the super delegates, the party was risking outright revolt or incredibly depressed turnout if they tried to rig the nomination for, let's say, Harris (for the memes) in the same way they rigged it for Hillary.

Oh please, you inconvenience ghetto people, they'll go by instinct and react harshly. It'll happen again.

That doesn't explain why the fuck did they run Biden, though. The best way to prevent him from winning was to not let him run in the first place.

Yeah, I don't believe that Biden and Harris were ever in anyone's master plan for 2020 if one exists (well maybe Harris initially but Tulsi put an end to that really fast) They just ended up being what the DNC was forced to work with and they 'won' with them. The question now being if it was a fight they wanted to win in the first place.

Oh please, you inconvenience ghetto people, they'll go by instinct and react harshly. It'll happen again.

I'm sure they will but will it be focused enough to matter? Something like BLM on last year's scale does not happen organically as much as they'd like to pretend otherwise and their usual benefactors are going to have no interest in letting them sabotage vax mandates.

It may be that Biden just didn't listen to anyone telling him no. They can't exactly bar him from running, and this was the man's third attempt at the candidacy. Most career politicians get the hint after the second failed run. Perhaps he or Jill, or he and Jill, just really wanted it.

It was covered in the hunter biden laptop thread.

Basically Trump got the phone call from the president of the Ukraine saying it seemed there was some weird stuff with biden and his son. they asked trump if he would like them to look into it. trump says yes.

Lets assume that yes there was clinton backed corruption in the Ukraine.

Right after that Biden annouces his desire to run and the media is screaming how trump is using forgien countries to spy on political rivals.

I think thats what baked biden into the nomination.

Because terrifyingly, Biden was their best chance to beat Trump.

Do you think Buttigieg or Sanders beat Trump, even with the printers going brrrr....?

 

[northstar747]

Also think of it this way the DNC establishment was weakend by obama, bankrupted by clinton, They need not just a vaible candidate but one that was part of the "club" that limited them more.

 

[Getting tard comed]

Do you think Buttigieg or Sanders beat Trump, even with the printers going brrrr....?

Yes. The amount of brrrrrr going on has been severely underestimated by the internet. 700k-900k lead in Pennsylvania just disappeared over night. Yes. No matter who was running Trump was going to lose. The fix was in and no matter how big of the lead was they were always going to print more.

How do we know? They did it. We saw it in real time.

Sanders only made his campaign more radical post-2016, so no.
But a generic neoliberal in a suit would be much easier to sell as winning amid allegations of election fraud than Biden. Neither Buttigieg or Klobuchar had Biden's baggage to deal with. Being gay or being a bitch of a boss has nothing on voters questioning your mental status and hearing rumors about your son being compromised. And they probably wouldn't have picked Harris as their VEEP.

At the time, he wasn't entirely mushmouthed in the beginning and he was the only one who didn't want to give illegals free health insurance, which made him a "moderate." They also needed someone who had something like incumbent advantage and he was it, but he was definitely a placeholder. The problem with the Dems is that they have BLM and Antifa for voters and that eliminated less embarrassing candidates like Bloomberg (I wouldn't vote for him, but he doesn't have scrambled brains) and Tulsi and Trump roasted the more lolcow candidates like Warren and Bernie. Biden did have the most name recognition compared to BUTTigieg or Klobucharmander.
