i don't know, man, i'm just some humble idiot shitposter, but i do not think that the democratic party trying to usurp the sitting president from the nomination and then also throwing the first black vice-president under the bus will be very popular with the democratic party's voter base

The Democratic Party's base is the NY Times editorial page. At least, according to the NY Times editorial page.

Why do all the “Biden steps down” wishcasting expect Harris to step aside too? If Biden resigns, the only natural successor is Harris. Anything aside from Harris is chaos

After Last Night there is a genuine fear of losing to trump, and Regrets that out of all our candidates in 2016 Biden was the choice. That said, after Today's NC Rally, Biden quelled "some" fears and where we go now is anyone's guess. Just a humble idiot shitposter here. lol

Ah, the Democratic Party has a duty to put JFK Jr on the primary ballot, schedule debates between Biden and any internet shitposter, and generally shoot the party loyalists in the back…for democracy!

Let's kick out the only guy who has beaten Trump and replace him with an unknown. That will show the Republicans that Dems are not panicking at all... Also, if you were going to watch a debate to decide if you should vote for a convicted felon or not, then you have already decided to vote for him.

Yeah it's up to Biden. Otoh VP is a terrible job, several of the cabinet positions are a promotion, so dunno why people think Harris would be hard to get on board.

maybe bret stephens and michelle goldberg could check in with james clyburn and ask him what he would do with his influence if the party decided to throw both biden and kamala harris in the trash and replace them with gavin newsom

OK but what if the Democratic party's base was actually white guys who moved to Brooklyn from their parent's mansion in TX that have reliably voted third party in every general election?

The VP is literally the only person with a claim to be the democratically selected successor to the president, that is kinda a huge and directly stated part of the role!

They can't replace Biden, this has to be them. It's not really about the person, it's about whether you can see good and evil.

No need to ditch VP Harris, give her room to show her Presidential chops! Biden should resign, swear her in and let her choose a VP who will strengthen her abilities on Foreign Policy and National Security (as Biden did for Obama.). My choice for VP is Senator Mark Warner.

Like it has been clear to me for the last year if it isn’t Biden it’s Harris, which I could be talked into her being the better option but there is not in 2024 a mechanism to just swap Sen. Johnny Unbeatable (D-Candy Mountain) in as the nominee

Yeah, it seems like a bit of wishful thinking, to be honest. As much as I wish Biden had declined to run again and hyped up a younger, more popular candidate... It seems like he's the only one to go with right now. There wasn't even a strong primary challenger that got any serious attention.

I don't want either of them to be president, but pulling either of them from the ticket without that person seeming to be the one deciding on it will NOT go well.
