Just saying

"Fifty years ago, on March 31, 1968, Lyndon B. Johnson appeared on national television and announced that he was partially halting the U.S. bombing of Vietnam, and that he had decided not to seek his party’s nomination for president. “There is division in the American house now,” Johnson declared."

If actually made a move like this and rejected his own party I would change my stance and actually consider voting for the guy. Though with Bidens extremely racist track record even then it would be a hard sell. But that would go a long long way to make me consider him.

On the flip side even if Trump pulled this he still wouldnt get my vote. But thats another matter.

@freemo

You couldn't pay me enough to vote for trump. There's not enough money in the world.

That orange pos, thanks to man, is way ahead in the polls. Biden needs to drop out now and let someone run who can beat trump. At this point, almost anyone else would be good.

Biden's ego is going to get us trump. Just like Hilary's did

@Mary625 @freemo there is zero real way for Biden to be replaced by anyone other than Harris.

Basically none of the possible alternatives regularly mentioned have any campaign infrastructure, don't have campaign funds that could legally be transferred to a presidential campaign, and most importantly poll significantly worse against Trump than Biden does. Lawrence O'Donnell had a nice overview of this a couple weeks ago: youtu.be/_9vsivYrC4U

I expect the chance of biden being replaced by a democrat that isnt harris to be so close to 0 as to be essentially 0.

But a man can dream.

@Mary625

@freemo

I agree but not because they can't. It's because they won't.

O'Donnell is right about one thing, we've had no choice for for years. (Okay he didn't actually say it like that but it's the bottom line 😁)
