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?

The only correct item on that list is C-SPAN and maybe Fox Business.

Clearly they didn't do an autopsy of her campaign. Which was expected since criticising Hillary was a good way to get your career ended.

It was a double edged sword too, since a large faction inside the party wouldn't accept "run someone else" as a solution even if they did allow a frank and fair analysis of what went wrong.
Because there can be no moving forward until we sufficiently punish everyone for NOT making the right choice in 2016. Even if they vote "right" in 2020, they still aren't off the hook as far as the Big Blue Machine is concerned.
I forget who said it, but whoever here said the problem with the modern DNC is a failure to "modernize" because it's been hung up since 2000 on the notion that the "correct" line of Dynastic Democrat succession was subverted by outside forces? First by Gore getting cheated, then by Trump outright stealing the throne? Well, they're right.
The modern DNC is pointlessly antagonistic in electioneering because they fundamentally don't forgive the little people for NOT following the plan, too many of their cronies didn't get those promotions, too many donors didn't get their favors, too many people headed to the pokey won't get a pardon.
We, the People, RUINED IT ALL for them, and we will be beaten until we learn not to do it again.
It was HER TURN and there can be no moving forward until that mistake is rectified. And they keep trying to force that clock to run backwards with candidates and promotional techniques are still 90's-era TV-rules-of-engagement, utterly unable to see that the issues and technology have changed so you can't win on an "Oprah-style" campaign of morning show appearances, strategic celebrity endorsement and self-promoting a dynamic pantsuit image anymore.
The one and only time that could have worked has come and gone.

I stumbled upon this music video for Kamala Harris and I want to share the pain with everyone here. Need to go cleanse my ears now.

They could have done a bit of an autopsy. "Not being smug assholes" would have helped substantially. Also not using backdoors to fuck over rural people. (The closing days of the Obama administration saw to the creation of a program that would damage my area. It was like the federal government took a shit in my yard and Democrats laughed about it.)

I've been familiar with "Randy Rainbow". People who couldn’t stop taking Trump seriously as some evil warlord showed me his videos, with titles like "Cheeto Christ Stupid-Czar" in their entirety, as if it was the funniest stuff in the world. I saw red those days.
Rainbow's eerie constant grin and wide open eyes combo makes him look dead inside, and I'm sure he is.

Three signs your campaign's in trouble.
- People are more excited about your VP than you.
- That VP happens to be Kamala Fucking Harris.
- The very people singing songs about her have to hold their noses shut with vise grips and super glue to justify doing so.

Found Biden's DNC speeches for 2008, 2012 and 2016. Will be interesting to see how the 2020 pans out. Once big difference is how the video quality gets better.

You'd probably be better off splitting them into five categories:I need people's help, are these simplistic ratings on the political spectrum correct?
- Radical Right (i.e. Breitbart) - Anti-establishment in tone
- Establishment Right (i.e. Fox News) - Generally supports Washington Consensus and the current system
- Centrist - Allowing for slight tilt in either direction
- Establishment Left (i.e. CNN, MSNBC) - Generally supports Washington Consensus and the current system
- Radical Left (i.e. Slate, Mother Jones, TYTs) - Anti-establishment in tone
Pretty much this, she's safely under the control of the Obama team (many who will be rejoining the State Departments in a Biden presidency). It would almost be like an Obama Presidency redux to finish up the Democrats' job of entrenching themselves in every Washington institution.

It's not bad as the humor of a Tim and Eric sketch, but the point of those is "hahaha don't we look fucking stupid" which is all well and good for comedy for 3am basic cable but doesn't work so well for politics

The US Political Theatre would like to formally apologize to those who bought tickets to Sandering II: It Berns When You Vote thinking it would be a different performance, but to also remind that, as per our policy, there will be NO REFUNDS issued.

I did my research on this lady a while back. She's most certainly, as @Terrorist would say, a "Based Black Conservative". She can't quite demonstrate empathy for the particular issues that beset black Americans (e.g. she derided the practice of trading food stamps for money to buy luxury goods as an individual folly writ large rather than the inclination of impoverished populations to attempt to emulate wealth they have no faith they'll reach in reality, as they're actively exploited by big businesses) and she crapped on Elijah Cummings for the condition of parts of Baltimore City, when that was neither his fault nor his jurisdiction. It was tacky, even if you thought him to be a do-nothing politician coasting on the kneejerk response of most black Americans to vote Democrat. For some absurd reason, she thinks that bringing attention to the fact that she's not a Democrat and is in fact a Republican, instead of jockeying to establish herself as merely "the better candidate", in a Democratic stronghold, while she touts herself as pro-Trump, is somehow smart. That she even barely tolerates "Blexit" is terrible enough.
I also have a distrust of politicians who advocate term limits because I don't expect people in power to want to readily relinquish that power as a matter of law, the stagnancy inherent to having a long term representative or senator is far more manageable (and expected) than that of having a president of multiple terms, the corruption that term limits seek to curb will set in for many within two years as they eye reelection and need to accrue campaign funds as a federal legislator in thecircus lower house, and it still doesn't prevent any stagnancy that gives rise to Nancy Pelosi types-- it just means that they have to raise up acolytes that will carry on for them and will carry their name and reputation.
And she isn't decisive or comprehensive enough in some of her proposals. She wants to make birth control more accessible, but doesn't indicate interest in dealing with anything more general than the potential baby boom following the COVID epidemic, like teaching responsible sexuality-- in other words, she's seemingly not concerned with the causative complex of the single motherhood crisis that especially harms black Americans or the abortion business that especially preys upon black Americans. In fact, she proposes simple plans (make birth control OTC, track abortions by demographics) as a way to avoid answering to whether she's pro-life or pro-choice.
Her position on education is party-line, but she only talks about K-12 schools without considering the runaway tuition inflation. IIRC, one of her objectives once in Congress is to Monitor the Situation on Baltimore's appropriation of funds given the city council's failure to keep the city clean, which... apart from not being her jurisdiction, doesn't do anything nor mean anything by itself.
There's a throwaway paragraph about socialism in her "Issues" page of like, six issues, that poorly treats the subject-- in the first place her "Issues" page is just poorly written and structured, like, holy crap, I can barely tell what I'm reading at some points. She also leans too much on her slogans.

Anyways... surprisingly, she's outraising the incumbent Kweisi Mfune (though it's possible that the incumbents are saving their money for dealing with the potentially different district geometry in the 2022 elections-- that, and given how strongly blue Maryland's current Congressional District 7 is, he may have it even easier).

They can't actually NOT do that, the fundamental room temperature of the Party is one of veiled contempt for everyone not in a blue state. Because they believe it, it's not just the party line, it's what they think about you. They are the apex of humanity, they are the future, and anyone not them is just getting in the way.
Just like how the media can't help but pounce on everyting Trump says and take the opposite stance because they are hard-wired to oppose him to "Help" their side, the political caste of same are hard-wired to sneer in the face of anyone who questions them.
You might as well be complaining that the peppers you grow "could be a little less spicy". No, they can't. That's what peppers are, even a mild one will still be fundamentally spicy. If you want a blander more plan vegetable, you'll have to plant something else. A pepper can't not have at least a little capsaicin in it any more than Hillary can go for more than 5 minutes on hot mic before putting down everyone to the right of her, it is in their nature. Her "basket of deplorables" comment WAS the "not being smug" option because what she REALLY wanted to say couldn't be printed.
And that's why they're even worse today than 4 years ago, the only conclusion they could ever have reached was "we didn't press our perfection hard enough".

I just saw today’s left-wing talk show hosts pretending to be comedians talking about how much they thought that almost hour long Zoom calls for the DNC was the most boring thing they’ve ever witnessed. As most posters above me typed out, they could care less about policy, lowering taxes and demographic changes in this country.
Using Joe Biden and his namesake to own Trump is just plain elder abuse at this point, and Kamala is just a sideshow for what will be implemented if they ever win in November.
