I absolutely think it could backfire, which is why I said it was a bad idea before. But now I'm thinking when you look at a Harris-Trump race, you gotta think you can do better, and I think the drama of a genuine open convention is the ticket to that. Hell, maybe Harris still ends up winning, and she comes out of it stronger because of it.
Whitmer/Kelly ticket wins easily. That's all I'm saying. Kamala is going to get exposed and she might not be capable of winning enough votes.
Hey a lot of posters on here state their opinion as fact.
Easy huh? Over a candidate that received 74 million votes last time and has never been more popular?
Why did we ever get to this point? It's been obvious for a long time that he had lots of health problems and there was nothing he could do about those. They should have told him a year ago that they wouldn't support him but instead stuck their head in the sand and kept saying he was fine when he wasn't fine.

Russia’s the reason Vance was the VP pick. Just info from an insider.
Those are not the presidential requirements, no official Democratic presidential ticket exists until voted on by the convention. There is no replacing Biden in Wisconsin because he has never been submitted anywhere as the candidate.
Those people are simply misunderstanding the law. In none of those states is Biden even on the ballot yet. He doesn't need to be removed or replaced. The deadline to nominate the party's candidate in Wisconsin is Sept 3. I'm not sure what the deadlines are for Nevada or Georgia, but I do know they haven't passed, yet. The only state who had a deadline that happened before the Dem convention was Ohio, and as I learned last week, they passed a law to move the deadline back to accommodate the party. So as long as the Dems select a nominee at the convention (or before), they'll be on all the ballots, no problem.
So X got it wrong? Get outta here.
Based on number of delegates…probably 3-5 candidates?
It’s just insane when you think about the influence some of these people have. Clyburn is totally worthless. A Bach from a shitty school. Spends 20 years in hr or something along those lines for the state then goes to dc. Oversees the only true Dem dist in a state (the black belt) so has his vote locked up. No other sector would this guy have an ounce of influence yet in fed gov he’s deemed a kingmaker. Oh and he’s older than biden
He delivered South Carolina to Biden when everyone else was floundering, and Biden beat Trump. Clyburn is a hero.
Why did Biden announce his decision to withdraw via a letter on Twitter?
Is he saying he’s not fit to serve another 4 years?
There is no sense in which that is normal. Such an announcement from a president should come out of their mouths to the public, with cross questioning.
Marv seems to be saying it’s not an appropriate platform.
Why do we need to autopsy this? He's dropping out because his supporters don't think he can win, and they've finally convinced him of the same. Everything else is just marketing.
Are you asking why we should believe a president who has been convinced he’s not fit to run for another term should be convinced he’s fit to serve out the next 6 months?
He's just now figuring that out. FFS FFFFS wtf is wrong with these people?
Because….if he’s not fit to run then how can we say he’s fit to serve out his term.
that’s a myopic view. He came in if memory serves on the heels of packing. Districting has been a feature of his career (if not outright preservation) and his counties have a horrific history of persistent poverty - nationally amongst the worst. And I get where they started from but ensuring poor black voters are his district is his political oxygen. That he influences national politics is pretty frightening
Because running requires serving 4 years starting on 1/20/25. Staying in office requires serving from now until 1/20/25.
It means nobody gives a sh!t about the dems and whatever communist plan they are trying to achieve except you and the other zero IQ posse here.
Aloha already answered this. Fit to serve means 6 months. Fit to run means 54.
