Biden stepping down - now what? (1 Viewer)

[zztop]

I feel like this deserves a separate topic.
What will be the plan for the DNC?
How will this all shake out?

 

[Incumbent]

I think certain individuals (not all) required incentives to make the move.

Can you elaborate?

I think what's happening here is, you are not used to seeing disagreement among party members. In the GOP, you are either a boot licker or a pariah (see Cheney, Romney). Among the DNC, people are allowed to have differing views and opinions on different issues.

Also, in the great scheme of things, AOC is a minor player. She represents a district that's more water than land, in a part of NY that isn't monied. The main reason she's that much in the news, XTwitter, etc. is the GOP's obsession with AOC.

I agree with most of what you said except for the AOC part. She has power because she is so vocal. She is like a carnival barker in a way.

 

[el caliente]

So you don’t know. Got it.

None of us do.

 

[el caliente]

That's just... You know what...

I think it’s best if we just agree to talk Pelicans basketball, because we don’t see eye to eye on politics (and that’s okay).

Can you elaborate?

Can I elaborate on what? Why I feel like something had to be offered in order to get certain people on board with Harris at the top of the ticket?

No more than you can elaborate as to why something wasn’t offered.

 

[Incumbent]

None of us do.

You’re the one making the assertions.

Do you still have a diaper fetish?

You’re the one making the assertions.

We are all making assertions. I’m under the impression that back door deals happen in politics.

Do you still have a diaper fetish?

Yes, and it’s on the same level as your love for the Heritage Foundation.

 

[Incumbent]

The point being, we can all just say whatever. Speculation is part of the nature of political discourse, but if you can’t even explain why you might think something, what is the value?

Do back room deals not happen in politics?

Bonkers.

You like to ask the board leading questions so I’m trying to understand your thought process on this one.

You think AOC and apparently others had to be be coerced to support Harris. Is that because of something about Harris? Something about AOC? Trolling?

Outside of the MAGA bubble, Biden has received appreciation for the job he’s done from American citizens to world leaders. The 3.5 years BS you keep shoveling looks ridiculous coming from anybody who has supported Trump over the last eight years. Trump has been a case study in all the wrong traits and abilities. I’m going to assume you support him (who really knows why) without ever paying close enough attention to him. Maybe you just hate the left enough that the whats and whys don’t even matter. Dozens of people who have worked with Trump are telling people he’s unfit. If they can’t convince you, I know I can’t convince you.

All this bluster from MAGA and nobody has actually been formally named the nominee. What’s really happening is y’all are shell shocked that Biden actually dropped out and all the signs from Democrats have been overwhelming support for Harris. MAGA spent millions of dollars and thousands of hours running against Biden and now he’s out of the race. Brandon went.

Be patient. The deceitful and bigoted Twitter bots, and loathsome pundits, will be churning out talking points with haste, so y’all will be able to drop the faux outrage about democracy soon enough, and move back to more comfortable terrain.

No matter how many times you say MAGA it doesn't change the fact that your party has rigged 3 presidential campaigns in a row and look to be doing the same with choosing Biden's replacement.

Who buys the saving democracy talk outside the bubble of CNN, MSNBC, NYT, Washington Post?

Most people know it's just a campaign slogan which is even more evident now.

 

[Incumbent]

Do back room deals not happen in politics?

Sure. So the fact that those happen is the only reason you can come up with to explain AOC quickly supporting Harris? Why?

 

[SaintForLife]

Your really sound silly trying to convince us all to upset as if we've been fooled or something. Nobody is listening to you right wingers and your opinions on the matter. We can't stress this enough (and I am definitely speaking for everybody, here), we don't care what you think or believe about this. You sound so desperate, lol.

Why would I try to convince you of that? I'm just stating the obvious about the saving democracy campaign slogan.

Pelosi endorses Harris for US president -statement — Reuters

U.S. Representative Nancy Pelosi, a former House speaker and influential voice in the Democratic Party, endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday as the Democratic 2024 presidential nominee.

apple.news

Pelosi endorsed Harris.

 

[bird]

She supported Biden. When overwhelming support came out for Harris after the announcement, it is possible she saw Harris had the support and was wrong. It isn’t like AOC is all knowing in the party.
What AOC wants more than anything is for Trump to lose. She would probably endorse a telephone pole if that meant he would lose.

I would endorse her endorsing a telephone pole if it would beat Trump.

 

[donato]

It only follows the "natural flow of logic" that if AOC supported Biden she would support Biden's vice-president and endorsed candidate, Kamala Harris. The far greater mental leap is thinking she was bribed to do so, with no evidence or reason to believe so.

Hey, I have love for the Heritage Foundation.

I would love to see them driven completely out of business as they are a collection of azzhats who hate America and only give a damn about wealth sucking more money out of people.
