I was agreeing that Bernie helped torpedo her. He's a scumbag.

I'm not sure that's the true story. But neither Stein nor Sanders have my support.

Of course not. That's what the dispute is about: how to stop him.

No, I don't. I think Bernie by withholding a clear voice for Hillary directly helped Trump. I haven't forgiven him, despite his having many good qualities. Obviously, my disapproval doesn't really matter much.

Re Ohio ballot access of an alternative to Biden, my interlocutor won't listen to contradiction and blocked me, which is fine. Answer must be that Biden will have to remain on the ballot. Biden's electors would be free to vote for anyone, tho, if Biden has withdrawn. So the sit is not hopeless.

Or, what defenders of Biden saw was distorted to accommodate their preconceptions. Everyone is subject to confirmation bias. We're not going to agree. But I won't forgive Dems putting Trump in office. Good luck.

Trump's performance was despicable and outrageous. That doesn't change what people saw of Biden.

I may be wrong. But I agree with many that sticking with Biden means losing. There's too much at stake for that.

I don't see why this is true. Sherrod won't withdraw just because Biden does. This is just an absurd overreaction.

Nate Silver: "Joe Biden is the equivalent of OG Anunoby in Game 7 — except, obviously, it’s a much higher-stakes problem for the country." Silver is right here & the sooner Dems realize it, the better.

If it's wrong, please point to something w reliable info to the contrary. In any case, it's prob moot since Ohio is no swing state. What matters is elsewhere.

4. **Legal Compliance**: - The party must ensure compliance with all Ohio election laws, which might include filing supplemental documents to validate the substitution of the nominee.

3. **Meeting Deadlines**: - Ensure that all paperwork and certification are completed before the state’s deadlines for ballot access. Given that the nominee is selected in August, it’s critical to act swiftly.

2. **Filing Petitions**: - If petitions were already filed for Joe Biden, the new nominee can be substituted, but new petitions might be required depending on the timing and state-specific rules.

1. **Party Certification**: - The Democratic National Committee (DNC) and Ohio Democratic Party must immediately certify the new nominee and notify the Ohio Secretary of State.

To be honest, I don't believe you, because that's unbelievable. I don't know anything abt Ohio law, but GPT (w internet access) tells a different story:

In focus groups you can control the discussion. In reality, Biden has no chance IMO.

A year ago, Dem commentators were worried that there was no obvious replacement for Biden. They still are. America has been finding good Dem candidates every election cycle for over 100 years. There's no reason 2024 should be different.

I’m not sharing this because of the author’s conclusion, I’m sharing it because I didn’t know most of these details about Joe Biden. Such determination!!

I agree with the author's conclusion. I guess (but don't know) that most informed foreign observers, being less connected to the person, agree that for the sake of democracy, he needs to go.

btw you guys need to get over the MSM complaints. They're legit, of course: US MSM is sick. But it has been forever, even b4 Murdoch, and it's unlikely to change. Whether it's due to MSM or not, the wider public isn't going to back Biden. IMO: change candidates or prep for Trump.

Anyways, I guess at least one or two are sincere but dumb. Either way, they need rapid removal or the US is gone.

... or they knew exactly what they were doing, and they did it because it was their only chance to save Trump and avoid a blue wave in November and the demise of the GOP. And they know only a GOP president would ever abuse the privilege, so why not?

That was another reason I quit. The glitz is amusing at first, but after 100 times it's just wearing and annoying, as are the tourists. Nonstop gibberish.

Multiple decks are not a problem. Only a slight change in the odds. It's easy to do, but after reading Ian Anderson, I realized I couldn't raise the stakes to compete with an engineer's salary. "Anderson" did it, but only by getting tight with unsuspecting mobsters.

Come to think of it, 42 y ago was my last trip to Vegas. Sierra Club dumped me out of a trip in the Sierras (because I was ill, they abandoned me), so I drove down there for a couple of weeks.

I would, but I'm not Biden. What you can do is publicly deride them and their New Originalism (making shit up). That could be a useful precursor to actual action against them.

More brain-dead than hypocritical. It's consistent with his "reasoning". Can they ever again talk about Originalism without people breaking out in laughter?

Yeah, I was thinking that's the source of Trump's enthusiasm for a Zionist Israel. He sees it as a bulwark against a criminal, terrorist brown tide, because he infused all the Hollywood stereotypes from the 50s and 60s.
