Moreover, according to a senior Democratic official, the party leadership would have much more control over choosing a replacement if Biden were to drop out after receiving the nomination than if he did so beforehand. Once a candidate is officially nominated, there is a process for the Democratic National Committee members to choose a successor. Biden is the dominant force at the DNC, and his preference for a successor would surely carry sway.

If Biden were to exit before that, his delegates might do what he asked of them — but they wouldn’t be bound in the same way they are now. In that scenario, the delegates could nominate anyone, and there could be a political brawl at the convention.

Just fucking die already so we can get a different candidate. If he wins, Elizabeth Warren will take over when he does die mid term and were all fucked worse than the other old piece of shit.

Neither of them will live much longer in this world, why burn it down on the way out? Edit: to be clear fuck Donald Trump too. The fact that we are stuck with one old rich piece of shit vs the other means we have lost this fight. Trump didn't even win the vote the people made last time he won, the electoral college made him win. But sure voting matters, and its not all stacked against us.

Not sure why Elizabeth Warren would take over or why we'd all be fucked with her as president. Did you somehow confuse Warren with Kamala Harris?

Also not sure how we'd be fucked worse with Harris than with Trump, if that is what you meant. The list of people who'd be worse than Trump is exceedingly short.

I’d vote for a moldy ham sandwich over Donald Trump.

I thought he was running with Elizabeth Warren as his VP this next run instead of Harris. If its Harris then hell yes, I'd vote for team dementia but if its Warren I'd rather just not vote and let the electoral college call all the shots like it did when trump "won" the first time

Elizabeth Warren?

Yes I thought he was running with her instead of Harris this next campaign. I really really hope I was wrong about that.
