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?

Political posturing from the pulpit in black churches is almost never brought up by either the right or the left. The left doesn't criticize it because they're the ones who benefit from it, and the right doesn't because they'd be called racist.

Then they are not practicing the doctrine. They do all this woke shit to attract more young people into the cause. What they fail to realise is that the number of people who practice the religion should not matter, especially if you compromise your religion and the face of your faith in order to do it. I don't see any other religion doing this. Do Muslims go "we are going to make Muhammed gay to attract the young"? Do buddhists go "gee, we need to replace Buddha's face with a black man to be progressive and attract young people"? No, none of them do this. Only the Christians are stupid enough to do so.
They also do these sing-song rockband churches, which I have attended and can't take seriously at all. You have some fucking band there playing songs that I have never heard before, before some guy who can't even be bothered to dress properly comes up and tells us his life story, before doing more rock band singing. What is this, religious worship or an amateur rock band concert? They will do everything to try and attract the young, and it's kinda sad to watch.

Oh God, please let him mistake her for one of his servants. He doesn't have to call her anything. A demand that she shut up and get him some fried chicken would be enough.

Biden has drained the melanin from so many blacks over the last few months that she looks white by comparison.

That's how she actually looks. Kamala Harris is very very light skinned. I don't have 100% proof but I suspect CNN and other media outlets are doing a reverse Zimmerman because she looks noticeably darker in their broadcasts
The comma between "fear-mongering" and "or" shouldn't be there.

Things just aren't panning out for Ol' Joe. It turns out people don't like this fence sitting faggotry from the Democrats over the riots all that much.

As a graphic design fag, I just noticed something interesting about this poster (more so the Biden/Harris logo in particular): it basically apes Trump's font choices for his campaign. Bear with me as I explain it a bit. Here's Trump's 2020 logo:
Now what's interesting from a font perspective is that the candidates' names are in big, solid letters - it's subconsciously evoking stability and strength to the voter. Even the overall shape is more or less geometric . What the kerning choices also do is to draw the eye downwards towards the messaging of the campaign, as well as establishing Trump as the person in center stage. Also note that they kept the logo more or less the same as 2016's, they don't need to change their approach to resonate with their voters!
Now, this is Biden's original campaign logo. Clearly, the font choices and round symbols are meant to create a reference to Obama's legacy from a design perspective. (Though this design isn't nearly. as inspired as Obama's.)
But now, take a look at this:
They changed the font! And they changed its visual messaging. With Harris, they're also trying to pivot towards being a campaign of stability - especially when they do Trump-style kerning in that poster. What does the red E stand for? Does anyone care? Not really. Also notice that Harris' name is nearly as large as Biden's - that's definitely on purpose. In short, Biden's campaign is inconsistent in what it's trying to say, and they're looking like a knockoff of Trump in the process.

As the presidential election nears, interest groups on both sides of the gun control issue are examining the Biden campaign's stance, a platform which would represent a stark reversal from the Trump administration and potentially lead to historic changes in federal gun law if Democrats win the presidency, gain a Senate majority and hold the House of Representatives.
Brady United, one of the highest-profile gun control groups in the U.S., billed Biden and Harris as "the strongest gun safety ticket in history" while promoting a virtual event during the Democratic National Convention (DNC) last week. The National Rifle Association (NRA), the most notable pro-Second Amendment group in the U.S., on its website called Biden-Harris the "most anti-gun presidential ticket in history."
So Brady and the NRA, which are fiercely opposed to each other, agree in a way.
"Joe Biden has a very unique history on the gun safety issue," Peter Ambler, the executive director of Giffords, a pro-gun control organization led by former Rep. Gabby Giffords, D-Ariz., said. "Not only has he come up against the NRA twice and won, which was sort of the primary selling point for his candidacy in the primary and one of the reasons he is the nominee today. He's somebody who's sort of shaped his public service in response to tragedy. He has been there in a very personal level for so many victims and survivors of gun violence."
NRA spokesperson Lars Dalseide, on the other hand, warned that Biden "has promised to confiscate guns, destroy the American firearms industry, ban the manufacture and sale of popular semi-automatic firearms as well as standard capacity magazines, mandate that the only guns sold in America will be smart guns, and ban private firearm transfers.”
Biden's record on gun control, just like his time in Washington, D.C., is lengthy. As Ambler said, Biden backed two major gun control bills as a senator in the 1990s, an assault weapons ban and the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act. But it doesn't stop there. Biden, as vice president, forged a personal relationship with Giffords, who was shot in Arizona in 2011, and with the parent of one of the Parkland, Fla., shooting victims. He was also on the ground in the wake of the massacre in Newtown, Conn.
As far as Harris' history, she's generally supported gun control legislation as a senator. She also signed a Supreme Court brief in the 2008 D.C. v. Heller case that argued "the Second Amendment provides only a militia-related right to bear arms" and "the Second Amendment does not apply to legislation passed by state or local governments."
And the Biden-Harris platform on guns, as outlined on their website, is an ambitious agenda that would add significant amounts of regulation and oversight on guns.
It seeks to repeal a law that prevents gun manufacturers from being sued for crimes people commit with guns; limit Americans to buying one firearm per month; ban the importation of "assault weapons" via executive order; require background checks for all gun sales; ban online gun sales; work to require that all guns sold in the U.S. are "smart guns" with RFID or biometric technology; incentivize states to tighten their gun laws and more.
Perhaps most notably, Biden and Harris would aim to institute a ban on the manufacture and sale of "assault weapons," which are loosely defined as guns that include features like a pistol grip or a threaded barrel, yet have the same semiautomatic rate of fire and fire the same ammunition as their non-assault weapon counterparts. The Biden-Harris platform would require existing assault weapons to be registered with the ATF under the National Firearms Act or be bought back by the government.
"I think Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, based on all of their experience, really understand the nuances of this issue, understand that it's not just obviously getting these pieces of legislation passed that we've talked about, but it's also how ATF enforces the laws and making sure we have agencies with real teeth that will serve the interest of the public," Kris Brown, the president of Brady United, said.
"Re-electing President Trump ensures your right to protect yourself and your family while a Joe Biden presidency would leave Americans defenseless and at the mercy of criminals," Dalsdide said in a statement.
While Trump banned bump stocks in the wake of a mass shooting in Las Vegas that killed 58 people, he otherwise has voiced his support for the Second Amendment, often touting how "strong" candidates are on the right to bear arms while endorsing them on Twitter.
Notably, however, the president does not even mention guns or the Second Amendment in his second-term agenda, recently published by his campaign. There is no mention of the issue on Trump's "Promises Kept" website either.
There is, however, a "Gun Owners for Trump" coalition page on the president's campaign website that says "President Trump knows that every American has a God-given right to protect one's self and family. Though re-affirming support for this Administration, gun owners across the country will work to deliver a second term -- ensuring the appointment of even more constitutionalist conservative judges who will protect and defend our American liberties for generations to come."
Brady has vocally opposed Trump, particularly on the issue of judges, and endorsed Biden earlier this year. Brown last week said that she believes with Biden and Harris in the White House, those who favor gun control will be able to make significant progress in passing laws they've long promoted, particularly thanks to Biden's legislative skills.
"He knows how to get these things done, how to count the votes, and how to message around this issue," she said. "And certainly so does Sen. Harris. So I think the combination of the two, what I know they will do to focus on these issues, is critically important given the amount of work that we know we need to do in 2021 and beyond to actually meaningfully reduce gun violence in this country."
The NRA is again endorsing Trump, and Dalseide touts the president's first-term record as a reason why gun owners should vote to put him in office for four more years.
"President Trump has appointed two Supreme Court justices and more than 200 federal judges who view the Second Amendment as an individual right," he said. "He's eliminated countless onerous Obama-era regulations, signed legislation to improve hunters' access to federal land, and is working to end gun-free zones on 12 million acres of federal land."

LOL, gun control is dead dudes, a full year of rioting will do that to people...... the last thing 10 million new gun owners want to hear immediately after purchase is "You gotta hand those back".

I cannot believe they're trying to make this a campaign plank. You can't spend time shouting "COPS BAD" and "COPS WON'T HELP YOU" and not expect people to reach the conclusion that self-defense rests in their own hands. I'll admit, hearing about gun sales skyrocketing gave me hope that at least some liberals won't just roll over and die when the mob reaches their doorstep.
But by all means, Joe, please give people another reason not to vote for you! Makes Trump's job easier!

Well, you can, if you think you've socially engineered an entire society into being NPCs that will literally sit there and raise black power fists while feral Joggers burn down their cities around them.
But if you're wrong -- and the left has a common problem of assuming they have more support than they really do -- then all you do is look like a dick.

Kind of hard to walk it back now, they spent the whole primary going on about how hardcore they'll be about gun control. Whole lot of the progressive block are expecting full confiscation, and then you of course have Bloomberg whose also expecting some payoff for all the money he's been giving the Dems in exchange for disarming the peasants.
