    Lol called it the other day dems are once again going to do the stupidest thing imagineable.

    The dems currently have two options.

    Switch him out now and actually have time to run a campaign for the new candidate or just run Biden the whole time.

    Based on my predictive reasoning of “dems will fuck up every election as badly as physically possible” i guarentee they waffle on this for another month, swap somebody in way to late, and squander both possible opportunities.

    It’s really not a good sign that “think of the fucking stupidest thing possible” is a really effective way to predict dems political strategies.

    The only thing that right now seems to be too dumb even for them is swapping him out for Hillary on October 20th, so I assume that’s what they’re going to do.

      I think all of the potential candidates are now hedging their bets and waiting to run in 2028 because they don’t want to be the person that ate shit against him after the assassination attempt.

        Yep, it’s also why the calls to kick Biden off the ticket have fallen off. The Democrats have just resigned themselves to defeat and would rather Biden eat the blame for it instead of the rabblerousers who get him ousted, who would have egg on their face if Biden’s replacement lost to Trump.

        Democrat politicians can be well understood when you realize that they are all just individual careerist opportunists with no greater plan or coherent party platform. Sticking one’s own neck out to get Biden out is risky and could have downsides, whereas Democrats being in the wilderness campaigning against Trump is easy and risk free. Democrat motto: Keep your head down, get paid, tell everyone they’re valid and you hear them
