President Joe Biden is vowing to keep running for reelection as he rejects pressure from within his Democratic Party to withdraw after a disastrous debate performance raised questions about his readiness.
While I’m cautiously optimistic for France in their upcoming elections this weekends due to the apparent pragmatism of the centrist parties, I admit that it’s embarrassing and infuriating to watch our one non-fascist party here in the states actively shit the bed on actually fucking doing something to stop the fascists.
Little bit of inside baseball here. One challenge is they would have to pick a new candidate prior to the convention, in order to meet the filing deadline to get listed on the Ohio ballot. It is not likely they win Ohio if people have to write them in. So they can’t just go to a brokered convention and hash it out in realtime.
Secondarily, per campaign finance regulations, they cannot just dump the ticket and then transfer the campaign cash to a new slate of candidates. If Biden were to step down, they’re stuck with Harris, otherwise they cannot use that money. If they somehow convince both to step aside, they have to raise all new money to finance the rest of the campaign, and the time between the convention and the actual election is not a lot of time to raise money (let alone use it wisely).
And yet they won’t replace the VP either. For the most important election of our lives you’d think they’d be trying harder to win it
To replace the VP, you need both the House and Senate to vote for it.
Johnson is too busy judging the type of porn his son watches to put it up for a vote.
Tax breaks for billionaires? That’s on the docket tommorow morning at 9 AM.
Picking a Democratic VP?
