    I’m sure this was a really hard decision, but it shows courage and strength that Biden put his own ego aside for the good of the country…

    …is what I would have said if he’d done this two weeks ago. Now, I’m just glad he was able to take off his narcissism glasses long enough to see how badly he was going to lose, and I hope his prolonged tantrum hasn’t damaged Harris’ chances too badly.

    So, now we get to see how many “blue no matter who”’s actually meant it.

    Remember folks, it applies to anyone who might be the candidate.

    That over…. Harris/AOC or Harris Whitmer !!

      If the ticket is something messed up like Harris/Bob Menendez, or Harris/Blagoyavich, I might have some reservations, but would quickly look past them considering the alternative.

      Kamala all the way! It won’t be AOC or Whitmer though. Most likely Kelly or Newsom. AOC is the future, though.

        Newsome cannot and will not be the VP. Harris is also from California, which would cause issues in the electoral college. Electors cannot cast both the Presidential and vice-presidential ballot for someone from the same state as themselves. Because both Harris and Newsome are form California, it could cause issues, and they might not get the electoral votes from California.

      It’s already fucked up. Biden dropping out just handed the whole fucking thing to Trump.

      Edit: Alright, alright. This was a gut punch and I really felt Biden was our best shot. That said, this could be an opportunity and I’m here for it.

        Oh, stop. We’re you one of the ones also saying him not dropping out handed it to Trump? Or that the assassination attempt picture handed it to Trump?

        Nothing has handed it to anyone. There are more liberal voters than conservative, including in battleground states. We just have to decide to rally around Harris and stop with the quibbling about one issue or another.

        “Biden staying is handing it to Trump!” “Biden leaving it’s handing it to Trump!”

        Fuck off back to Russia, you’re just trying to persuade Democrats not to vote because Trump winning is what you want.
