Hey media personalities & Dem reps who are "defecting" (hate that word, it sounds culty) from the Biden camp, 3 simple questions to ask or answer when this happens:
1. Who do you suggest to replace Biden & Harris (if Harris doesn't replace Biden) on the ticket? It must be 2 candidates who have not already said they do not wish to run (e. g., Gretchen Whitmer, Gavin Newsom), so nobody wastes time creating a "fantasy football" ticket;
2. What is your plan to quickly shut down the inevitable Republican lawsuits against getting Biden off the ballot? Because they've already promised this, it will tie the election up in the courts, & eventually go to the conservative-run SCOTUS for deciding; and
3. What are you going to tell everyone who already voted to get Biden on the ballot? Because replacing him now is telling those Dem voters that their votes don't count & can be disregarded by their own party, which will greatly damage their trust in you.
Too much to ask? #politics
@tehuti88 1. Harris is the obvious choice. Newsom said he won't run for P, but he might take VP as a pathway to future P, and having a white guy as her #2 would balance Harris' ticket.
2. Those lawsuits are coming no matter what. The bottom line is that it's the DNC who gets to choose who is on the ballot, and they still have time to make the change (the primary is still ongoing FFS!)
3. I never got a chance to vote for or against Biden in the primary because the DNC chose to cancel the primary in my state. What are you going to tell me?
