people want to believe that you can just swap out biden no harm no foul, but there is nothing about this system as constituted that allows that. but rather than grapple with this, the response is basically to scream “nuh uh”

And I dont care Harris is of color; she prooved herself as capable and fit in the eu; we cant afford another Trump win here; Rutte can manage a lot but its not his job to manage a chronic liar who uses your own irs as his personal piggybank.

Ps I would dare to add; do not give Rutte the Nuke codes; with his reputation he might delete those #WhoopsdidIdothat (See the dutch irs child bennefit scandal)

as long as Clinton or Obama still back Biden the chance of open convention is slim and have Harris stepin could be a solution; best way is if Biden takes the highroad with current world turmoil; regards from the Netherlands.

there always is an option; you have to bc even a president can get sick and needs replacement; so there is a way; but i doubt open convention two months prior to elections is the right way; to have that covid crazy weasle of a Newsom take over? I mean, for real?

honestly my read of the debate was "disappointment." But the absolute mass hysterics today about this has me more terrified than anything biden did or didn't do. And FWIW, that was the read of most people i know.

And do these people think Biden-Harris will (or even CAN) turn over their $200 million war chest to the new untested candidate??? That coordinated campaigns can turn on a dime? I didn't donate to this unnamed candidate. I donated to and voted FOR Biden-Harris.

What no one has mentioned is Ohio GOP tried to block Biden from even being on the ballot & it took the governor intervention to make sure he would be on (despite following all the rules) You just going to replace him & expect no GOP shenanigans Whomever replaces him might not even be on all ballots

it's just fantasy football campaign edition, like, none of the arguments i have read (save yours) are grappling with any of the actual realities of process or the parties involved who would have to be convinced or the timeline in which it would have to happen

also the media will not *reward* dems for getting rid of Biden! The driving force is wanting republicans to win, they'll find something new to criticize!

I would have thought even horse race journalists, and those addicted to that sort of coverage would understand how changing horses in the middle of the race is likely to create more problems than it solves.

There would still be a cost, but the smoothest way to do it would be for Biden to resign, making Harris the president, and endorse Harris for the nomination. The delegates are all Biden delegates so that’d hold sway. If there’s a butthurt caucus they can be pacified with the veep pick.

Actually, there is an obscure legal precedent within a clause of a decision dating back to the early 1800s that evidently was supposed to be repealed but got forgotten about and, theoretically, could be invoked here. It’s known as “ye olde switcheroo”

The question is if getting through the chaos of getting an alternative to Biden is better than sticking with him. I don’t know how Biden can recover from this. All the RNC needs to do is run ads from this debate from now on.

I am livid at the DNC for letting this happen. They’ve been downplaying and apparently bold face lying about Biden’s health. I don’t care what anyone says I’ve been around enough loved ones with cognitive issues that last night breaks my heart.

Yup. "POTUS wins reelection" happens a lot more than "POTUS steps aside after primary and party selects replacement candidate that goes on to win general election" does. It's also not some giant surprise that Biden is 4 years older than last election.
