    People. We, the French, pulled a left-wing coalition out of our asses in less than a week and managed to “win” an election. You have months. Hope is permitted.

    I kind of expected them to announce another candidate, not just that their only candidate wouldn’t be. Do they have to elect a candidate now? For how long will only one party have a candidate?

    Edit: Just read that they’ll choose the candidate in late August. So for a whole month there will be only Republican campaigning in the media, unless the Democrats can make their process interesting enough to catch the media’s attention.

    Another edit: Seems they’re moving much quicker than that after all.

    All I know about Harris is from a youtube short where she was just being super weird about that catchphrase of hers.

    She’s got no chance against trump and his cult of personality. Noone’s going to be passionate about her.

    11th hour switch and the delay in getting Biden to step down when they knew his brain was failing will be their downfall.

    All that money spent promoting Biden wasted. Good luck.

    I will vote for any D, but Harris will get destroyed by Trump. This is an awful idea.

    …whatever. What’s done is done.

    What’s the best option going forward, and how do the common rabble like myself best support the newest not-Trump?

    I’ll say just one thing:

    Every single one of you assholes who wouldn’t shut up about him stepping down since the dude missed the toilet bowl fifty years ago after a particularly wild night out better sure as fuck step up now that Old Joe has stepped down.

    A sitting god damned President of the United States has stepped aside less than half a year before reelection. Make no mistake: The man swallowed his pride and ego HARD to make this decision. Let’s honor that by creating a wall of votes so god. damned. thick. Riley Reid would gasp.

    Now that Biden doesn’t care about reelection, what kind of “Official acts” might he do?

    Harris has less chance than Biden. Literally just grab a Labrador, put a blue tie on him and let him do the job - better chance getting elected than Harris.

    I’m seriously looking forward to the HBO drama about the first election campaign, Jan 6th, the Biden presidency, and then the second campaign in twenty years. It’s gonna go so hard.

    Don’t agree with his endorsement for Kamala but thank god finally.

    Now throw in some fresh candidates and provable promises, and I’m completely on board.
