Republican talking heads and Trump himself have wisely been pointing out the failures of Kamala in the few things she was "tasked" with over the course of the past 4 years, it makes her look like an especially weak ticket. She will need to quickly choose a VP candidate that is going to reinvigorate things, if the Democrats don't find a way to get rid of her entirely.
Is it possible they'll try and get RFK back on side?

Would he be willing?

Well, now this is an interesting development. I didn't think he'd actually drop out. I wonder why he caved to the pressure.

Moment of clarity? Either that or the doctors have told and convinced him that he's not going to be alive or have any mental faculties for much longer due to Parkinson's or whatever the hell he has. He's been declining rapidly and the added stress is probably not helping. I think there's even at least a 10% chance that he doesn't make it until the end of his term, either because he dies or it becomes completely obvious that he's completely mush brained and incapable of acting as POTUS.

So far all of this has been done digitally or in ways that don't require Biden to do anything. If they don't even trot him out to make a speech anytime soon, we'll know that he's cooked.

>expecting democrats not to be technocratic faggots

why would you ever think this wasnt the case? look what they did to sanders in 2016

They pulled the same shit in 2020 as well. No one was voting for Biden and he was in 4th/5th place early on until the party whipped everyone else into line behind Biden as they feared that Sanders. might emerge as the top candidate again.

For reference he had 13.7% of the votes in Iowa, 8.4% in New Hampshire, and 18.9% in Nevada during the first three primary states in 2020. He did well in South Carolina and after that the DNC pressured everyone else to drop and get behind Biden for Super Tuesday. Even then Bernie was still winning a few of the states.
 
It isnt even really a problem with Kamala per se - like I said, if Biden had tragically choked on a vanilla cone 20 minutes ago, I would be happy to carry on with Kamala.
Harris isn't a bad candidate so much as an unknown one. But because she has been serving in the office of Vice President, she's next in line for the nomination. She should have had challengers and an opportunity to make her case. Now we have to vote for a dark horse (lol npi)?
What bothers me is the deception, and the expectation that Democrats would vote for Disabled Joe Biden and just ignore what's plain to see.
Okay, Faye Dunaway, You wrote rag pieces for some random magazine like you're running for a Pulitzer. I've seen actresses with alcoholism that handled cope better than you.

No, no, he has a point. Please Democrats, make it incredibly clear how much you are the Uniparty so your supporters who view themselves as raging against the machine stay home this November and replace you with an actual party of non-lizard people.
 
Ironically seems a bit... fascist? I really figured they would never suggest Biden stepping down but instead have his advisors and admin do most of the actual policy work while Biden just makes occassional appearances, if he won another term. Or him step down a few months in due to age. This is a right shit show innit
Presidents aren't Emperors, they can't just delegate a whole term's worth of work to their cabinets.
I don't know about fascist, but it's not democratic. If we get an open convention, then people who expected to go to Chicago to cheer on Biden would instead be choosing on behalf of the rest of Democrats who Democrats want as their nominee, with a strong-expectation-to-inevitability that is has to be Kamala.
 
Key 8: "No Social Unrest" is actually correct! Specifically, it is meant to be -sustained- unrest, consistent protests and action not a general feeling of unease. Trump's assassination attempt does nudge the needle but still, going off the methodology, does not quite hit it. This one is more or less a "Well-defined, but not intuitive".

I disagree on the "no social unrest," there's widespread social unrest in the form of the illegal immigrant invasion, the violent crime caused by said invaders along with homelessness and drug addiction in blue cities and the Gaza protests. The latter is notable because it reflects a major ongoing dispute between Dem party constituencies that is unlikely to be resolved soon, and it's affected many institutions from universities to local governments.

Social unrest takes many forms, it doesn't always look like BLM looting stores. I've heard many accounts of how the overall vibe in US cities is ghastly and lots of people seem to be on the verge of snapping.

Fuck, troon remake of The Turner Diaries, just what we needed
It's why you want a Healthy Air Force, they control two legs of the Nuclear Triad, the keys to the end of the world.
No chance. Kennedy is white, old, a man, and part of a political dynasty, that man isn't getting anywhere near the DNC
They ate desperate right now. They'd choose a tooth brush if it'd win.
 
I agree with some other posters, this is a strategic move to justify a rigging. Another landslide election unprecedented for the left. Likely a woman like kamala or Hillary. There will probably be another j6 situation but worse. "Like poetry it rhymes "

The tribulations may begin.

Stay with Christ. Stay strong my friends.
Will it work this time? They don't have a pandemic to help them out this time
 
They all thought he'd refuse to no matter how much they begged.
No, they wanted him to because wrecking the political machine and losing seats sets their brand of the grift back a lot.
Counterpoint: Harris is, like, really, really bad at campaigning and she's just smart enough to realize she's basically killing any future political career running this fall.
She'll get a cushy consultancy job.
Does anyone else think its weird that Joe didn't endorse Kamala in his official announcement but instead in a tweet? When we all know he has no control over his twitter account.
He has no control over the official announcement either.
Just like how the richest women right now only have their money from divorcing rich men, not from actually doing any legitimate work.
Counterpoint: marriage and children is a real job, whatever the richest men were doing to get rich isn't. (Although, to be fair, some of the richest women are heiresses not divorcees, it's not a real job either.)
