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?

 

[Gustav Schuchardt]

In true Democrat fashion, they pretty much made the worst choice possible. Yeah, let’s go with someone whose record is totally at odds with the Twitter zeitgeist you’ve been pandering to for 4 years, didn’t even make it to the primaries, and whose most memorable moment in the debates was calling Biden a big evil racist.

I was surprised Harris is the exact opposite of the 'Defund the police' idiocy. She seems like the worst option if he's going to try to convince the far-left Bernie Sanders supporters to get on board with his campaign.

 

[Ruin]

I thought maybe we'd get that hideous, illiterate, gap toothed bix nood disaster from Georgia but this is even better.

Picking the corrupt cop in the middle of all this BLM shit.

Brilliant

 

[saralovesjuicyfruit]

Michelle Obama would actually have been a fucking great choice tbh. His entire campaign is "remember Obama? I worked with that guy!" Plus, she's not nearly as outwardly insane as someone like Harris.

I don’t think she would have ever accepted though. She doesn’t want to be in politics, she wants to be an untouchable celeb.

 

[kobebyarlant]

First thing I saw checking FB after this announcement was a black guy saying there’s no way he’s voting for Biden now.

 

[Zero Day Defense]

Yeah, that's just SO much better. A pandemic which has killed 164k+ Americans all because Trump was too stupid to listen to scientists. And he hasn't even learned his lesson; he's still saying to not wear masks.

Then again, this sub is full of Trump supporting manlets, so what do I expect?

There was a purpose in kicking the bulk of the COVID management decisions to the states: it largely exculpated Trump from any fire he would have gotten for mismanaging the crisis in particular states, in practice.

Trump gets hammered for not having a national plan, but the obvious retort to that is that, in true federalist fashion, he was backing states instead of instituting a uniform plan that wouldn't fit certain states. It preemptively exculpates him from the risk of a stupid declaration or oversight like insisting that recently recovered COVID patients that might still be infectious are returned to their nursing homes (see Cuomo, Whitmer) or extending nonsensical restrictions mindlessly to the detriment of a state's constituency (see Whitmer).

This was especially important at a time when the federal government needed to build up its own supplies for distribution, and having everything handled by the federal government would have deprived everyone for a time before depriving some states at some times, drawing all fire to Trump.

 

[Absolutego]

LMFAO they actually did it! They put a cop on the ballot after three months of screeching about police reform! The moderates near blue cities already were leaning red because of the lawlessness in those cities, the progressives are going to be fucking livid that their chief cause has been thrown under the bus, this is a move that, again, pleases only the insider donor class, and depresses every other demo in the base.

I predict abysmal turnout this fall (continuing a trend we saw in the Democrat party primaries this spring), and now can't wait for the debates!

Trump can't just evade responsibility by saying that he let the states decide. His (lack of) plan still ended up with 164k+ dead. That's on him and the states that are responsible. It's not a one or the other thing.

 

[Smug Cat]

I don’t think she would have ever accepted though. She doesn’t want to be in politics, she wants to be an untouchable celeb.

Oh, for sure. She'd be a great pick precisely because she's not the type of person who would accept lmao.

First thing I saw checking FB after this announcement was a black guy saying there’s no way he’s voting for Biden now.

One of my liberal (and black) friends just said "Fuck it. I'm voting for Trump." in response to this news.

 

[TaimuRadiu]

That was not a quote by Palin, that was a quote from Tina Fey playing Palin on Saturday Night live.

Palin was also corrupt as fuck and a weird cunt to boot.

If you can believe Levi Johnston's book, he said (paraphrasing) that she was HOPING McCain would die so she could be President.

 

[ConfederateIrishman]

My mother just texted me to say what a wonderful choice Harris is for VP.

So A&H, should I do a flip now, or at least wait until Biden wins in a few months?

 

[6MillionCoofs]

He picked Kamala.

I am so happy.

The only reason she was chosen was A) she's Black, B) she has a D next to her name. Nothing else was taken under consideration.

 

[Iwasamwillbe]

Michelle Obama explicitly doesn't want to run. It's a moot point over a dead issue.

I really don't think I can stomach four more years of Trump. For all the hilarious antics and meme magic, I'm sick of listening to the dems whine and act absolutely frothing rabid with their hubris. I never thought we would have Round 2 of 2016 but here we are. It's funny from time to time but it does get really exhausting. I think Tulsi was the best pick for getting things right on track but I knew she had no prayer with how they went after her and demonized her and took away all her thunder.

Anyway, Harris was the worst possible pick Joe could have gotten. It's a kiss of death since I've yet to meet anyone who genuinely likes her or her attitude.

Sir. Sir. Why are you getting tired of winning, of seeing your enemies screech and yowl in anguish as they lose yet again?

The only reason she was chosen was A) she's Black, B) she has a D next to her name. Nothing else was taken under consideration.

Also she has a vagina.

Bass would probably have been worse. Since she's outwardly pro Socialism and has praised both Castro and Scientology. Her castro praise would have lost Biden the south in a big way. At least Florida is still up for grabs currently. With Bass, it would have gone to Trump since the Cuban community over there, and in the south, would have said "Hell No" and voted Trump.

 

[Iceland Heavy]

Michelle Obama would actually have been a fucking great choice tbh. His entire campaign is "remember Obama? I worked with that guy!" Plus, she's not nearly as outwardly insane as someone like Harris.

Yeah, come to think of it you're probably right. Wasn't that a paraphrase of something she actually said, though? Anyway, whatever, the point is a comedian mocking what Palin said seems downright tame compared to current year, hence Palin was comparatively not that bad.

That's what I thought Susan Rice was going to be. An Obama years nostalgia pick without being too obviously pandering, and a swamp creature through and through that only hardcore tea partiers would have any strong negative opinions about. I'm still baffled by the Dems going with the worst possible ticket outside of it being some Justice Democrat 5D chess plan to destroy the neoliberals and get set up for a 2024 run.

 

[Green Man]

Wouldn't you prefer to comment on a site where you'll be praised and lauded for calling anyone to the right of Mao Zedong an incel? Might I suggest r/politics?

 

[Analog Devolved]

Fun fact, if elected Kamala Harris will be the first VP to never have kids and the first white house resident to never raise kids. She got married at the age of 50 for the first time to a lawyer with grown children.
Even James Buchanan who was never married became the legal guardian of his young nephew.
Harris is the ultimate career war witch and "devil wears prada" type. The epitome of a heartless cunt that slept her way into political power and never loved a child.

You're wasting your time. 3H doesn't care. He has a hate boner for anything Trump related.

Back on topic: It shouldn't be shocking that the dems choose the worst possible VP pick for Biden but somehow it still is. Their strategy the last 4 years has been garbage but sinking both their short and long term chances with a pick like this is so flabergastingly stupid I really cannot comprehend how this happened. It literally accomplishes nothing positive. What's the thought process behind this?

Academics... please respond. Help is needed to understand this.

but she isnt realy black, she is a first generation american

At least Rice is a nonentity. Kamala is actively loathed.

It's a weird choice, considering Biden's policy was just to fly under the radar and not piss anyone off. Why did it take so long for him to announce her?
