Joe is out

[Anonymous]

And today is national ice cream day!

How appropriate for him to drop out today.

This is the GOP game now. Call for Biden to resign and malign all of the top contenders.

Joe will not be resigning, there is no reason to.

He can run the country while Harris and others cross the country to campaign hard for every vote.

No big name Democrat is going to run against the potential first woman of color President, particularly one who has been serving as VP and has the endorsement of President Biden. No one.

Now it's all about the VP pick.

That’s easy. Stable, boring white male with a solid moderate record. Probably as a Governor. Preferably of a swing state. Besides the Governor piece, they’ll chose Biden, but three decades younger. So, Roy Cooper or Shapiro. Bayshear is interesting, but Vance is also going for the Appalachian hick vote (after writing a book bashing Appalachian hicks for not getting out and going to an Ivy like he did— someone explain that to me), so I don’t think he helps.

I would LOVE Gretchen Whitmer, and she could help in the Midwest. But no way we get two women.

Would also like Pete Buttigieg. But unlike Cooper or Shapiro, he has no constituency.

Hogan!

Because no one wants Mike Johnson as VP.

Either way, at least the Democrats are willing to take a look at their candidate and do what it is best for the party and the country.

Meanwhile, the GOP...

Exactly this. President Biden and the Democratic Party have the courage and love of country to do the best thing for our nation and our democracy.

So this is what falling out of a coconut tree feels like.

I was hoping for that too.

Are you kidding? He specifically said in 2020 that he would *only* run as a one-term president. Then his ego got the better of him and he reneged on that. He might have had something of a “legacy” had he kept his word and allowed someone else to run in 2024. Instead, his legacy will be as a stubborn, diminished old man who had to be pushed out of the race.

No, never actually said that. What he said is that he would be a bridge to the next generation. He absolutely never said he would be a one-term president.

He said everything but a literal “pledge,” leading Americans to assume he was only running to beat Trump and would then move on. C’mon, man.

In April, when asked whether he would serve just one term, Biden responded, “No.” More recently, Biden has been ambiguous. In October, The Associated Press reported that when “asked whether he would pledge to only serve one term if elected, Biden said he wouldn’t make such a promise but noted he wasn’t necessarily committed to seeking a second term if elected in 2020.”

So, no, he never said he would only be a one term president.

And the fact is, if the Senate had done its job in the February 2021 impeachment or the judiciary had done its job this year, Biden would not have run because Trump would not have been in the race.

Who was impeached?

Oh, wait. I see now. I thought you were saying Biden was impeached.

Hmmm, that’s strange, she was Indian some years back.

You’re thinking of Sen Elizabeth Warren, idiot maga.

Most MAGAs are idiots. But some speak the truth occasionally. And in this case, Harris’s ethnicity is 1/2 Indian (the country, not American Indian) and half black.

And I will enthusiastically go out to get votes for Harris.

Harris will always be herself - which is a bad temper, no manners, ill fitting pantsuits and faux pearls. The "face" she puts on for the public is who she is. She will never get the votes with it.

Clearly. That's why you and the trumpers are running around on social media rn like chickens with your head cut off.

NP. Yeah I was not expecting this level of panic from them. Good sign, I guess

No panic at all. This is absolutely hilarious!

I said something similar to my husband. I said the poor guy probably has no idea he even dropped out.

No thanks. No one wants an antiabortion person on the ticket.

Sorry, but I cannot take her seriously.

Dems need someone with executive experience. Newsome, Whitmer, perhaps Hokle.

She was the AG for the largest state in the country. That is a ton of executive experience, certainly more than, oh I don't know, Vance or even Trump, who ran a family "business," not a sprawling enterprise.

Who ran a failed family business and filed for bankruptcy multiple times.
