I don't think an alternate candidate this late in the race is a good idea, and I wonder why you do?
If biden dropped out now, and any of the other prospective candidates who've been mentioned recently (except kamala), I'd be way more energized and excited about this election. Way more. And I'm not the only one either.
Both biden and trump should not be our candidates for president.
Legally, at this point, Kamala is the only person who can take over Joe's election war chest.
And remember, laws still apply to democrats, so we're kind of fucked.
Most countries don't have 13 year election cycles. The UK just had an election in under two months. What makes you think it's late? Americans, man.
To be more serious though, if one candidate campaigns for 13 months and another 2 months. I would believe the one campaigning for longer has an advantage.
You might be surprised, in the UK Jeremy Corbyn joined pretty late and campaigned as independent in his area and won, the first time that constituency has voted for something other than Labour in decades. It just takes a good new candidate to get people interested.
Yo, how's the queen.
surprisingly the prime minister and the Queen both have less power than the American President who is now immune from prosecution. you should give more advice about how to run a democracy
At least we have one. Kiss the ring, bitch.
weird thing to be proud of, very patriotic
It's been a week since the debate. If Biden was really as fine as everyone claims, it should have been a simple thing for him to make a public appearance and show everyone that he's fine. Instead, it's been a week of private meetings and "bro, we swear, bro, he's fine, it was just one bad debate, bro, c'mon". Afaik, the only public speaking he's done since was a radio show where he went on and said he was proud to have been the first black woman to serve in the white house or something.
So, for my part, my singular concern is this: is Biden up to the task of being on the campaign trail to stop Trump from winning? So far, it's looking like no. It's looking like we're going to get a bunch of surrogate speakers and excuses why Biden couldn't be here or there. I just don't want Trump to win, and I don't think that running a campaign with a guy who's seemingly too frail to be a Wal-Mart greeter is going to be the secret sauce.
He had a speech in NC that was very convincing since the debate, go watch it.
Was that the "when you get knocked down" speech? I'll check it out.
Dude was obviously sick, but yeah I'm sure you'd go on a speaking tour feeling under the weather at 82... 🙄
I can buy that he was sick, but I wish the democrats had done something to temper expectations besides load Biden full of robotussin and let fate take him.
