If the Biden Drop Out!s get their wish they’re going to regret it like three weeks later when they see how the media covers it
Avatar
Media the day before Biden drops out: "C'mon! Drop out already!" Media the day after Biden drops out: "In a shocking and unprecedented breach of the public trust,"

can't wait for Biden's Age discourse to be swapped out for Harris's Voice discourse

I do not see any scenario in which it doesn’t go terribly.

i personally refuse to carry water for pundits and papers that have had it out for Biden since day 1 even if i don't like Biden as a candidate, this is not even close to a reasonable approach to replacing him

Let's say we get the only option there really is (which I'm fucking fine with because there is no perfect), then Kamala Harris is going to be treated as both fallen Madonna and as transhuman, transgender. And that doesn't take into account the deluge of Desi specific shit that going to flood online.

If leftists don't beat the shit out of her, us, and themselves first.

The left hates her already for her “tough on crime” policies

If they do put Kamala Harris on the top of the ticket, I am prepared for a level of misogynoir unwitnessed since Rosa Parks sat down on that bus.

OMG yes. Some no doubt goodhearted guy was telling me Democrats would be admired for admitting their mistakes. Hahahahahahahahaha.

Easiest prediction in the world. Absolutely galling how many supposed experts have no interest in the real world and spend their time trying to squeeze everything into the shape of a story they like.

Laughing only at the idea that it would take three weeks for the media to start decrying the junior varsity Biden replacement, someone who wasn't selected by the voters, the candidate of the anti-democracy Democratic Party, etc.

I'm sure we can trust the media to be fair and respectful to a *checks notes* not-white woman candidate. ...oh. oh no.

I for one can't wait for some dipshit adjunct professor of media studies at a third-tier midwestern liberal arts college/occasional Jacobin contributor to tell us that the reason "the working class" won't embrace Harris is that she's a cop.

Oh they are 100% going to. I saw the left use this during 2020-2021, including people right here in my hipster neighborhood.

…who also slept her way to the top, which just standard Fuckheads’ Creed when discussing powerful women.

How did that "but her emails" an I just don't *like* her" work out for all of us, by the way?

Won't even need three weeks. Three days ought to do it.

fortunately for us all, they will not get their wish

They will, to a person, be "Not like that"
Avatar
Exactly. Somehow the scenario in their heads is completely omitting the part where the media drops front page Dems in Disarray headlines every day while burying stories about Trump's latest dictator plans on page 9.
Avatar
It's OK, then they can just call on the next person to drop out too...

Depends Pretty sure at least some of them have wishes that start with Trump winning, so…
Avatar
and we will be extremely screwed because that's basically handing things to trump.
Avatar
Who cares at this point? Roll those dice!

There’s definitely that risk yeah. If he can’t change the narrative any other way I think it might be worth the risk.
Avatar
I think this will allow the media to treat Trump as the incumbent who is responsible for everything good going on right now, attribute everything bad to Biden’s dementia, and it will retroactively validate the sentiment that the 2020 election was wrongly decided. Very, very bad for us
Avatar
But what do I know, seriously, maybe there’s so many people committed to Trump or Not Trump that we’re just fighting at the margins anyway, who knows what it takes to sway them
