1/ I'm agnostic as to whether Biden should withdraw from the race. It's a genuinely tough question IMO.
But I have clarity on one thing: He should absolutely not step down as president.
If Harris becomes President, the Vice Presidency is empty. Under the 25th Amendment ...
He absolutely should NOT withdraw from the race.
It is NOT a genuinely tough question. It is an EASY question.
Biden withdraws, Trump wins. PERIOD. Guaranteed.
Biden is the ONLY Democrat who can be on the Wisconsin ballot. Possibly the Nevada ballot.
& his withdrawal would be a legal NIGHTMARE.
The legal nightmare, by the way - would be the endless GOP challenges in state after state.
Not any actual legitimate legal issues, per se - just the fuckery they'd pursue.
They've said as much. The Heritage Foundation has SAID they're preparing to challenge it in every state if he withdraws.
If this is true then also the fault of Democrats (especially Biden) for refusing to fight any of this for over 20 years.
If this gives cause to refuse to politically engage, then it's already over and they lost. Democrats are inept, anyone who believes otherwise is in denial.
She just described a bunch of fuckery committed by republicans at the state level, and your big brain reply is to blame Democrats for not preemptively “fighting” the ability to file these challenges. 🤡
And who has been the only alternative, the only counterweight to put in a genuine effort to stop them?
If you don't like what's happening you have to ask, how did this get to this point, and why did it get here?
This isn't preemptive. It's nearly 50 years of liberals becoming the party of Nixon.
Disgust at Democrats' ineptitude is hardly a reason to consign millions of us to the fate of what a Trump victory means.
Yes, Democrats suck. THEY SUCK LESS THAN THE REPUBLICANS.
And that is what politics is. It's the sad reality of life. Dealing with the less sucky.
Sorry. Welcome to reality.
Yep! We have the same in the UK, the Labour Party sucks less the the Conservative Party who have turned the country to into a pile of pish... so that's our choice. 🙄
A vote for Tories here is like a vote for Republicans over there, a level of hell not seen outside of 1930s Germany.
