#Biden is already too old to be president, and he should not have run for a second term. I don't think enough Democrats have really thought through what it will be like when he dies or becomes seriously ill in office. At the very least, I wish that some reasonable alternative would place themselves on the primary ballot even if they didn't actively campaign just in case the worst should happen before the convention. #uspol
@antares Well, remember that different states have different rules about appearing on ballots, so it can be honestly hard to try to appear on ballots as a backup.
State rules are geared around each major party having a single candidate, and getting a name on the ballot outside of that is a challenge.
@antares no even for being listed on primary ballots states have different rules that are not easy to get past.
On one hand, it is a little understandable since they have to get the ballots set and printed by certain deadlines.
@volkris I think you missed the part where I said, "primary ballot." I know there are challenges to running as a Third Party candidate in the general election.
