After a lot of media hype (that I dismissed as wishcasting) yesterday that Biden was preparing to step down, the Biden campaign is doubling down and announcing that he is not withdrawing. And if he sticks to his guns, Dems may not be able to do much about it. The party depends on the whims of an angry and somewhat confused elderly man. And that’s bad enough, but the real battle may just be getting started.
The coup has lined up nearly every powerful and influential Dem behind replacing Biden. Obama, Pelosi, Schumer, and major governors and senators (not to mention the media) are seemingly on the same page.
The question is what will replace Biden? The easiest legal pathway is simply elevating Kamala, but the coup is divided evenly between bringing in Kamala or some sort of limited ‘blitz’ primary.
Pelosi, like a lot of establishment Dems, is favoring a new limited primary that could bypass Kamala.
In a meeting with fellow California Democrats last week, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi stressed the need for an open process to choose the party’s next nominee if President Joe Biden steps aside, in an effort to avoid the appearance of a Kamala Harris coronation.
Pelosi was one of several California Democrats who stressed that an uncompetitive process would turn off voters, according to those four people.
AOC, one of the few prominent Dems still backing Biden, is warning of just that.
“If you think that there is consensus among the people who want Joe Biden to leave that they will support Vice President Harris, you would be mistaken,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “They’re not going to be fully honest, but I’m going to be honest for them.”
“I’m in these rooms. I see what they say in conversations,” she continued. “I’m here to tell you that a huge amount of the donor class and a huge amount of these elites and a huge amount of these folks in these rooms that I see that are pushing for President Biden to not be the nominee also are not interested in seeing Vice President being the nominee.”
The divisions are also helping keep Biden as the nominee. Most Dems want him gone, but there’s little enthusiasm for Kamala. The view is that if you’re going to take the unprecedented step of jettisoning your own nominee, why not get the best possible candidate for the ticket? The opposing argument being made by AOC is that any changes will make it easier for Republicans to block the candidate with election challenges. And that such a process will steal the role away from Kamala.
This also may be why Kamala has been playing it pretty cool. Not only could Biden allies agree to a process that would jettison her (and some of them really dislike her anyway) but she knows that once this particular door is opened, she might end being jettisoned along with Joe. Her safest play is to prop him up, remain on the ticket, and wait for him to resign for medical reasons.
Notably top Dems, not only Pelosi, but Rep. Jim Clyburn, and some Obama allies, have been pushing a limited primary. And without a consensus and with the party’s convention coming up, the Dems are in trouble.
Plan A for the Dems to come to the convention as a united party while attracting disaffected Republicans and Independents is now dead. And there isn’t even a Plan B.
Democrats have to get Biden to step down and agree on a new nominee in time for their convention while also preparing to deal with many legal issues that will emerge from this move. A party whose legal talent would once have been focused on fighting Republicans and rigging states is now going to be focused on playing defense against Republican election challenges.
And if anyone remembers 2020, they should be able to understand how that, apart from the personalities of Trump and Biden, could determine the outcome of the presidential election. (And that shows how broken our political and election system is.)
Biden can run and lose or not run and lose, but not with 100% certainty in the first case. It makes no difference unless the choice of not running is sweetened. A completely financed presidential library and $200 million for him would be sweet. A third way would require a 25th Amendment floor show.
Biden is “angry and somewhat confused”? Or wrathful and half-crazed, more like. And even that may too generous.
There have been many unfit and witless politicians in history. Harris is in a class by herself.
Joe’s Dementia is getting worse. A big donor that Joe has known and liked for 10 years, that he recognized at Christmas, he now doesn’t recognize. So he’s lost memory of the last 10 years, a classical sign of Dementia getting worse (or whatever memory disease Joe has).
if there is any justice in the world [ and i doubt there is ] let it be harris to succeed the useless husk who is currently masquerading as the president . every circus has to have a clown . unburdened by what has been .
“Kamala vs. everyone else?” AOC could tell you, that’s called “running train” in the ‘hood.
I’m not sure the war amongst Democrats is truly over yet…but it makes for great TV. I’ve watched more MSM “news” recently (for the sheer entertainment value) than I have in years, and they’re ALL losing what little minds they have left. Joy Reid has “snatched herself bald headed”, as my father used to say. Lol
It matters not who will ultimately be their candidate. It’s the very reason leftists are starting to say that the assassination attempt was faked. Reminds me of Holocaust deniers. The TRUTH is a powerful weapon that the Democrats can’t face and fear the most.
Ultimately, it will be Donald J Trump against the Dominion voting machines, and with many watchdog groups around the country with a “fool me once” mentality going into this, the ‘Teflon Don’ should be victorious.
Any religious person who truly believes in divine providence (and after watching multiple computer models showing how close Trump came to dying, I’m a believer) would have to say that God’s got Trump’s back.
So, my thought is…the only way for DJT to lose this election is if God wills it. Maybe we haven’t done enough to merit a good leader. I hope and pray that’s not the case.
It would not be out of character for the dems to “pull a Clinton” and disappear Kamala. She would be replaced by their candidate of choice. Biden has always been a puppet. The cheating in 2020 was open and notorious, without consequence – so do it again and have the new VP become the president.
Navy ET1: It feels slightly inappropriate to use the words “snatched’ and Harris in the same post, as if you’re listing her political strengths. (I was going to say “assets’ but that’s another no-no with her.).
But still, the image works. Thanks.
Klymyidia is a snatch, alright. Not one that I would ever fuck. Some chicks are just too ugly. I’ve fucked a lot of sluts and whores lately, almost exclusively, actually, but none of them have been ugly like Heels Up Harris. I prefer pretty slut-pig-dog-whores. I’m one of those guys who has to look a chick in the eyes when we’re doing it missionary or missionary bunny style. I’m a gentleman that way.
Who knows what our fake next election will bring? Is Trump really too big to beat the cheat? Those Dirtbagocrats are nefarious.
It never ceases to amaze me how gullible black people can be. They actually think that Kamala is black and that she is one of them. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Kamala’s mother is from the subcontinent of India. She is 100% of Indian descent. Her father, Donald Harris also has ties to the country of India as his ancestors were taken from there to the Caribbean island of Jamaica by the English to work on the sugar cane plantations.
Donald’s ancestors then bred with the black africans that were already in Jamaica, and Donald was the result. Donald Harris prefers, as many of the inhabitants of Jamaica also do, to be referred to as Indo-Caribbean.
The bottom line is that Kamala may be 15% black at the most, but she certainly has no right to claim that she is the same as every other black person walking down the street.
But blacks being blacks, both intellectually lazy and incurious, believe what ever the Democrat Party tells them, and there is not way that will ever change.
Blacks aee intellectually lazy and incurious? SMILE WHEN YOU SAY THAT!!!!
Howvcan anybody be 15% Black? You can be 50%, 25%, 12.5%, but 15%? I can’t figure that out.
A person who is 1/64th Black is 1.5625% Black.
