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?

I think the reason why Biden might be dropping a bit in the polls is because up until now he was basically hiding and running as a generic Democrat.

Generic Politicians always poll a bit higher because they have no flaws.

Remember how they kept saying in the runup to the primaries about how the base should be excited because Trump was already losing by 10 points to "the democrats"?

But once people saw the ACTUAL choices they had, and they had to articulate their actual positions, that number.... dropped? That's exactly why.

It's worse now because what we're seeing is indeed the REAL Biden as opposed to the hidden one, and only the most devoted TDSer can look at him and not see that he's falling apart.

Yea, especially with him flip-flopping about defunding the police and stuff.

Same deal with polls you see about people supporting universal healthcare here in the US, once you dig into the data you see support drop off like a rock when they mention that your taxes are gonna go up but media figures usually gloss over that and just say "NEW STUDY SHOWS 60% OF AMERICANS WANT UNIVERSAL HEATLHCARE!!!!" leaving it up to others to actually look at the poll and see what the people really like vs what they dislike; most of the time finding out that people tend to support the idea of a government option while still allowing people to choose to have private insurance.

The pandemic has actually been good for Joe because it allowed him to sit around and keep his mouth shut when asked about actual policies and ideas he has for the country if elected President, if COVID hadn't happened we may see him lower in the polls because he'll be seen as the true establishment Democrat that he's always been and the media wouldn't be able to coddle him as much if he was out there making gaffes at rallies and spouting off wild ideas or hilariously bad policy plans. He's still managed to give Trump and his team some good gems for attack ads but he'd be delivering them by the truck load if his handlers weren't able to keep him isolated at the moment.

I read it. It's free on Gutenberg.

www.gutenberg.org

Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe

Free kindle book and epub digitized and proofread by Project Gutenberg.
www.gutenberg.org www.gutenberg.org

Basically, the story is this:
There are two subplots. The first is of Uncle Tom, an overseer of a slave master. This is within the first couple of chapters. This book has 45 chapters in it. Uncle Tom then gets sold off to another slaveowner and befriends his white daughter. The daughter and the slave owner (who hated blacks but was against slavery) die, and his wife sold him off to a vicious slave owner named Legree as opposed to giving him his freedom. He refuses to tell Legree where some slaves who ran away are, and Legree decided to get his own overseers, Sambo and Quimbo, to kill Uncle Tom. Before he dies, Uncle Tom successfully converts Sambo and Quimbo (and I think Legree) into Christianity.

There's also the subplot of a mulatto(?) woman who runs away with her son after realizing that he would be sold off with Uncle Tom. She has some dealings with a slave hunter before finding relatives with the Legrees (the relatives Uncle Tom refused to expose). They all end up going to Liberia in the end.

It's an anti-slavery novel. It's also pro-Christianity. Why people use "Uncle Tom" as an insult is beyond me. The rumor is that white people used it in the early 1900s as a negative, but there's no basis for that. And even if that were true, it makes those people throwing that insult around act live slave owners.

The same goes for the word "coon". "Coon" basically means "black person". It's in the same vein as calling someone a nigger. Why people use it as an insult also is beyond me too.

Iirc when it was in a play in the south, stage managers made it pro-slavery. Making Uncle Tom pro-slavery.

Exactly, and this happens every election for years until someone is nominated and we start going through the process. Hence why early polls are always useless trash. The Democrats usually screw themselves by assuming that they've won and it's over based on this.

One thing that I've noticed that people are ignoring is pretty simple.

The economy.

Leftists can shriek all they want about how we're on the edge of a recession or a depression, but look who they're offering up.

Joe "Them Jobs Ain't Coming Back" Biden

Everyone saw the economy fucking EXPLODE under Trump before the plague hit.

Everyone saw the Obama "LOL Learn to Code" method.

Nobody's going to trust Biden or Cockmalla to save the economy.

They're going to look at a former businessman who feels that Americans having a fat wallet means he has a fat wallet and pull that lever in hopes he can pull this shit out of a tailspin.

Biden will be claiming he'll fight Captain Depression on the Senate Roof while Cockmalla will run away with a bag of money over her shoulder and a joint in her mouth.

I like how the DNC’s message tonight seems to be “It’s time for all of us to come together again” as if they didn’t spend the last four years driving a wedge the size of the Grand Canyon between voters.

Yeah, that worked so well last time. Now they have a nominee with even less voter enthusiasm and an uninspiring VP nominee with a very checkered past.

Very unifying!

Ha! I wonder how many progressives/Berniebros are seething as the DNC sidelines them once again for an old, out-of-touch and weary corporate establishment candidate.

There was very nearly a repeat of the 1968 Chicago Riots with Antifa and BLM crashing the party. We're really at Defcon 1 for Dems right now, the Far Left is eating their lunch and it won't be long until the old guard, the people who are actually owed favors by big media conglomerates, are gone and won't be replaced.

Almost 10 times as many viewers on Steven Crowder's stream watching and mocking the DNC Convention as the actual DNC's livestream.

Enthusiasm gap is real, folks.
