So like, why doesn’t Nancy Pelosi throw her name in for the nomination at the convention? She obviously feels entitled to lead the party regardless of her actual job rn. Let’s see if she has the votes to be the real choice of the party on the floor, and then we can put her on the ballot if she does.

Politely, this fantasy is so fucking stupid. How will an open convention bolster democratic legitimacy when you’ve already obviated the will of rank and file Dems by knifing Biden?
really can’t be overemphasized enough that the Atlantic Contributor Class that spearheaded the Biden panic was wishcasting West Wing open convention fantasies from day one, and still is. they don’t want Harris and will fight her

For AOC, purely from a self-interested perspective, she can never let rich donors unilaterally dictate who can win primaries.
I'm not even sure she was angry about the "get rid of Biden" part so much as 1) the plan involved no next step other than the party completely disintegrating chasing some Johnny Unbeatable mirage, and especially 2) this was being done secretly by unaccountable rich assholes wielding their checkbooks

Would not be totally devastated if it took MSFT/Crowdstrike until 6:00 or so PM to figure things out.

Yeah, the quiet thing here beyond the merits of Biden/not Biden, is that allowing this kind of coup against the nominee who ran unopposed sets a horrible precedent.
This is also why I don't think coconut pilling will work, because guess the big-donors that hate Biden also hate Harris, & you'll just handed them the power to veto the nominee if they don't like them.

This is step 2 of the two-step.
This is a game for you all that elite white men are playing, and people of color see you doing it. I would recommend stopping, because you aren’t gonna get that trust back ever

These people really don’t get what happens if Trump takes power again.

I’ve had colds worse than my last round of Covid. Hope it’s the same for Biden.
NEW: President Biden has tested positive for COVID and has therefore canceled his speech today at a Latino civil-rights conference in Las Vegas, per CBS News

Getting the Abe treatment, I see.
Fellas, is it good if you get shot at and a full quarter of respondents think you were asking for it?

I am simply asking that he have won the election already and quelled my anxiety about the unknown.

This is the lose-lose of working with these people and why they shouldn’t be taken seriously.
It's weird how often I see leftists sneer at politicians who announce popular policies in order to gain more support. That's how it's supposed to work!

I’m sure this is the kind of thing that will blow over in crucial Waukesha county.

Biden is a good president doing good things, and it only gets better the more support he gets.
Breaking news: President Biden is finalizing plans to endorse major changes to the Supreme Court in the coming weeks, including proposals for legislation to establish term limits for the justices and an enforceable ethics code, according to two people briefed on the plans.

I think that demo is solid Trump now, he doesn’t need a Pence to keep them in the fold.

And implied it wasn’t a good thing! How times change.

Vance would be a vile, horrifying VP, but he’s probably the second worst running mate for scaring the normies.

It’s the worst grounds too. There were so many better options if she wanted to really kill the prosecution.

I mean, it’s done on the basis of a SCOTUS dissent. I don’t know how they couldn’t reverse.

Kind of blows up the idea that she was masterminding a plan to wait until the jury was seated to dismiss.
