Joe Biden now relies on instruction manuals, so here’s a good one: ‘Walk to podium, smile, wave goodbye’
“Huge fan of American democracy here, which is to say – huge fan of the country of America having democracy … you’ve probably heard the expression “When America sneezes, the world catches a cold”. Most of us in the droplet radius have zero clinical interest in discovering what the world catches when America does … whatever this is.”
Marina Hyde, on form as usual.
@aral As the meme goes "Just because Alfred is old, you don't put The Joker in charge of the Batcave"
@madies @aral - That would be a good point, that was the point, of if that was not specifically mentioned as not being the point. Alfred is old, so maybe we should put Johnny in charge, because he's qualified, motivated and not demented. And, importantly, he's certainly better at preventing the Joker from taking charge of the Batcave.
@madies @aral
Promote a few candidates, have a debate or two between them and Biden, pick the one that looks like the best leader of the nation and have that person run against Trump. It doesn't have to be "Random Johnny" from "possibly California". It can be exactly the same process as it always is, only slightly faster because people have little faith in the current candidate - which is exactly what MAGAs & their sponsors want.
@madies Odd… why would you compare Kamala Harris to The Joker?
@aral A black woman will win the presidency by a landslide in The US. Absolutely.
@aral it is too late for joe to exit. Our primaries are over, Democratic Party voters overwhelmingly chose joe. American history shows replacing the incumbent with another candidate hands the election to the opposing party. Like it or not, joe is our best chance to not have another trump presidency, church would give the whole world cancer.
