In case you weren't aware, Kamala Harris is the Vice President. This means that if something happens to Biden, she will already become president. This means there is no need to ask him to step down and have her run in his place. She is already there to take over.
The incumbent is nearly always heavily favored to win re-election. Trump was the exception.
If Biden stepped down, Kamala would be the incumbent. But would that entitle her to Biden's campaign funds?
@QueenOfEverything The Heritage Foundation has already prepared a plethora of lawsuits in the event that Biden steps down. It is part of their plan.
Yes, I read that... they will be launching lawsuits if anything happens but trump winning.
When Biden wins the election- they'll launch their plethora of lawsuits ... and most likely hold another Jan 6th.
Didn't a bill just pass to avoid nuisance suits over election outcomes? I can't remember the details... just something that seemed to really make sense.
@QueenOfEverything The lawsuits I am referring to are contesting any replacement of Biden on ballots. The idea is to keep Biden off of the ballot so that Trump can run uncontested. The only way that Trump can win right now is if his opponent drops out. As far as what the Heritage Foundation wants to do when Trump loses, that is somewhat up to the courts and the sitting president. It doesn't look good. However, my point here is that the Heritage Foundation is behind this Biden step-down effort.
Yes, I totally agree. They're counting on trump to win the electoral vote, right? Just like last time.
@QueenOfEverything I believe that they are, but that is my opinion. I think they hope that Mike Johnson will refuse to certify the vote this time.
@QueenOfEverything @sirgeefive BIden CAN step down though, Heritage Foundation can't force him to run. Its a ridiculous idea. Like yes, they are gonna make some crazy s*** up, doesn't mean it will work.
@Expecting_Words @QueenOfEverything There is no need for him to step down. Tell me, why do you want him to step down? Like what is it about him that makes you want him to step down? Is it something you heard from a pundit?
@sirgeefive @QueenOfEverything I hate the centrist pudits lol they're trash but I saw the debate. And I saw his post-debate interview. And I saw his speech after Trump got shot. He's deteriorating. It's not his stutter; he can't find words. Like literally the man cannot even read from a teleprompter. If you're gonna try to convince me he's fine don't waste your time.
@Expecting_Words @QueenOfEverything And how do you feel about Trump? How is his ability to speak? Is he handling the teleprompters well? How about his interviews? Is he making sense? Do you feel the same about Trump, or is different standards for him?
@sirgeefive @QueenOfEverything I would vote for a potato over Trump. Whoever the dems put forward, I'll vote for them.
@QueenOfEverything @sirgeefive Trump is effectively a religious figure on the right and he's not judged by the same standard as any other politician. His brain is crushed adderall and spiders but that doesn't matter.
@Expecting_Words @QueenOfEverything We all know Trump is not all there, but how did win the nomination? Like what was it that made him win? Did his party back him up, or did they turn on him and demand he step down?
@Expecting_Words @QueenOfEverything Did you vote in your state's primary election? Who did you vote for? I voted for Biden and Harris. Should my vote not count?
@sirgeefive @QueenOfEverything I'm not gonna pretend any of this is fair, or that fairness is even a metric I care about. Idgaf about a primary where the options are *the incumbent* or *other*.
@Expecting_Words @QueenOfEverything Correct me if I am wrong, but I am hearing that you don't care about how voting works, you just feel that your opinion should take precedence over mine. You acknowledge that it is not fair, but your opinion is worth more than my vote. Correct?
@sirgeefive @QueenOfEverything I'm not gonna correct you, you salty bitch. Eat shit and stay mad.
@Expecting_Words @QueenOfEverything Ok, so what you are looking for is a Dictatorship or an Authoritarian form of government. What I am looking for is a Democracy, or a representative form of government. I can respectfully see our differences in how things should work.
@sirgeefive @Expecting_Words @QueenOfEverything
It is not true that the fact that Biden is going to be replaced in the ticket is going to be challenged in the courts. This is misinformation being spread by Biden cultists.
@MarceloPaezPereda @sirgeefive @Expecting_Words @QueenOfEverything
"Biden Cultists? 😂 😂 😂
@Charles_Hawtrey @MarceloPaezPereda @sirgeefive @Expecting_Words
I WANT THAT T-SHIRT:
"BIDEN CULTIST"
⭐ 🇺🇸 ⭐
@QueenOfEverything @Charles_Hawtrey @sirgeefive @Expecting_Words
Get the T-shirt and go ahead in collision course
@QueenOfEverything @Charles_Hawtrey @sirgeefive @Expecting_Words
In addition to the T-shit, get an ear bandage because you are going to end up contributing to Trump's victory. Wake up!
@MarceloPaezPereda @Charles_Hawtrey @sirgeefive @Expecting_Words
You’re new here… no bio. It seems your entire purpose is to have Joe Biden drop out of the election and to berate anyone who doesn’t agree with you. You’re welcome to express the view you want- if it’s really your own view not part of a Biden disinformation campaign. I would recommend not attacking other CoSo members who don t agree with you bc it’s bad form. We’re all awake… here. Tell us more about yourself.
@Charles_Hawtrey @sirgeefive @Expecting_Words @QueenOfEverything
Yes, cultists. You guys are in denial, ignoring the polls, ignoring that Biden is not delivering his message (debate and also interviews) and he is not winning swing voters, demanding loyalty to Biden like a cult leader, accusing skeptics of being traitors, accusing the media of focusing on Biden's cognitive decline while 50 million people have seen it directly in the debate and immediately concluded that Biden is toast
@MarceloPaezPereda @sirgeefive @Expecting_Words @QueenOfEverything
Here's a report from NPR on July 18th polls (and NPR is also trying to dump Biden):
Polling shows both Harris and Biden tied with Trump
JULY 18, 20244:49 PM ET
https://www.npr.org/2024/07/18/g-s1-11999/donald-trump-kamala-harris-poll-election-2024
@Charles_Hawtrey @sirgeefive @Expecting_Words @QueenOfEverything
That is one single poll and Trump is 2% above Biden. It's not the flex you think it is
@sirgeefive @QueenOfEverything They should have turned on him lol, and they absolutely would if there were even a sliver of hope of an interparty coup succeeding. They are whining about him being an asshole, mostly to Vanity Fair but sometimes to like Maureen Dowd and ofc Wolff when he was writing Fire and Fury.
