Apparently, he’s now making noises about dropping out of the debates.
Harris would eat him alive.

The thing about the warnings from AOC that resonated with me, and she was still making them Friday night, is that the Dems as she knew it were not prepared for the legal mess that would ensue from changing candidates. My experience with dems says "yep. that tracks."

But now magically that dragon is slain and Harris is just going to glide through to the nomination? I mean, it's not like she's worse than anyone out there, and in many regards has a better record on a lot of things Biden didn't prioritize - important things too like abortion, marijuana, CJ reform so I kinda feel like, whatever, just point me to the voting booth when the time comes, but still. The unity they're pulling off def. feels very coordinated.

I would love AOC, Jeffries or even Buttigieg as VP, We'll see. All three of those people are miles better than what we've seen from dems in the past, so that's promising.

I dunno man. I kinda figured this was coming, but the coordination feels weird. Not used to this kind of plan working for dems..

(Also, as much shit as JB takes, he's made some really good progress. Attacking predatory rental price fixing, ending Non competes for workers....those are Big Deal things that don't get reported because Trump fumbling through a speech littered with half assed school yard insults is plastered all over MSM.)

She's right, they will probably try to legally block it. But they also try to impeach Biden every other week and are a fuckin' in-fighting mess so good luck to them. Mike Johnson has got to be the least intimidating dude in DC. He looks like 3 kids stacked in a trenchcoat.

On another note, I love how Joe Manchin thinks anyone gives a flying fuck about his chances or what he thinks about anything period. Fuck off and go away.

While I’m sure the GOP will threaten and perhaps even try “legal” means to stop this, they’ll get no traction. The Dems haven’t officially nominated anyone yet.

Totally with you on the MSM. Sunday morning, before Biden made his announcement, one of the lead stories on Apple News (sourced to CNN, I think?) was “five key takeaways” from a recent Trump rally. So my attention to so little of consequence or interest.

In terms of veeps, I’ve seen NC’s Governor suggested. He’s term limited anyway. And while VP choices seldom move the needle, it’s also not like Biden got shellacked in NC in 2020. That’s a winnable state. At least make Trump work for it!
