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?

Biden's admin is full of Facebook executives and he owes them for his victory. 230 won't go anywhere.

This thread should really be called DECADE OF REALIGNMENT. We know that Biden himself has very little to do with the executive's day-to-day functioning. Currently the executive is being run by permagov - staffers, operatives, consultants, federal employees of all (rainbow) stripes, and their private sector toadies, with input also coming from legislative branch swamp creatures. We're back to the politics of Obama's 2nd term, which was (until now) the most egregious case of "president as figurehead" fantasy government.
What's different from the 2010's is that people are way more fed up with gov'mt and even angrier in general, and the "red team" has already made a big and effective short-term play for populist realignment (you can argue about Trump's success but the old paradigm has still shifted permanently). Whether the left is consciously aware of it or not, they saw righties get Trump and now they want their own Trump(s). This dynamic sort of existed with Bernie but he was NOT the right jew for that job - along with being a career politician who spent decades being "against" the establishment without changing anything, he was too extreme ideologically, whereas Trump was basically a moderate. Also Bernie lost, so Trump became the first 21st century realignment candidate.
I find it telling that all these twitter lefties and other loud voices are bitching about Bidden so much and so quickly. It's obvious they're sick of useless permagov too, even if their ideas for what policies should change can be horrifying. I don't think there are very many people left who actually WANT continuation of America's late 20th/early 21st century globohomo politics (outside of super low info boomers in their TV ghettos, and even then they're restless).
Possibly the next big move will be a mirror Trump, a populist moderate leaning towards prog policies instead of conservativismic ones. Or shit could keep falling apart and bring us closer to balkanization. I really don't know exactly, but what I do know is that there's gonna be some crazzy times ahead.
Obviously I get that this is basically a BIDEN L's thread (hilariously it really looks like everything about Biden is gonna be L's right up to him L'ing right into a coffin). I just can't help tying the dynamics of this presidency and it's (ostensible) supporters to the concept of US political realignment.

What about the part where he goes after every edgy place in the name of fighting hate speech?

of you to assume Biden would let anything happen to them if they did repeal it.

Unless the Feds are going to intervene in personal civil lawsuits I doubt Biden would intervene. Facebook and Twitter have enough money to drag court cases out forever.
Isn't 230 about protection from civil lawsuits from libelous statements people make on a platform? Him going after places for speech violations seems outside 230 protections considering Biden doesn't give two fucks about national sovereignty, knocking over a server would probably be well within his wheelhouse.

Facebook actively supports internet regulation. Have you seen their new commercial? I can't post it as it doesn't show up on Google or YouTube (very strange, wonder why, hmmm) but I've seen it while watching Hulu.
230 will absolutely get repealed because it would massively benefit tech giants.

That's what I mean. They can afford it in a worse case scenario. Forums like this can't, not to mention all the "hate speech" laws that could get federals on here even more then they usually are.

If Biden doesn't pursue a way to kill 230 or this site, someone more progressive in the Oval Office certainly will. It's something Democrats dream of: destroying havens of hate speech

It's amazing how badly they are fucking up with him. I know the strategy is to pass as much unpopular crap before he dies, but usually they take their time. Having this all happen in a month reflects very badly upon the Dems.
Biden must really be on deaths door.

"reflects very badly upon the Dems."
You are retarded if you think this is gonna effect them at all. Take a look at the summer of love and the delusional Bernie Bros... Bernie Bros kept threatening to vote red but in the end they voted blue no matter who because none of these people have real principles.

There's also the alleged idea of trying to fix the timeline to get Kamala in office for ten years.
