Moreover, according to a senior Democratic official, the party leadership would have much more control over choosing a replacement if Biden were to drop out after receiving the nomination than if he did so beforehand. Once a candidate is officially nominated, there is a process for the Democratic National Committee members to choose a successor. Biden is the dominant force at the DNC, and his preference for a successor would surely carry sway.

If Biden were to exit before that, his delegates might do what he asked of them — but they wouldn’t be bound in the same way they are now. In that scenario, the delegates could nominate anyone, and there could be a political brawl at the convention.

Please, when were the last respectable election options?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Obama and John McCain, or Obama and Mitt Romney, I think were all considered pretty respectable by most Americans, especially compared to our current options.

Dude at least McCain had some honor to him.

He could have rolled with that old lady, but he set her straigjt

Yeah, he turned out great. Maybe he used up his last bit of honor refuting that lady.

Yeah, I wasn't a fan of R-Money, but at least he was just an out-of-touch rich asshole, and not a straight up narcissistic fascist.

I liked Carter, down to earth and he built homes for humanity until he literally physically couldn’t anymore.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

He only served once. He could run again.

He’s in hospice and lost his wife not too long ago.

He’s just waiting to see her again now

So basically Biden with a less shitty stance on Palestine. I'll take it!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

I mean I don’t disagree, but the man has decided that it’s time to go, and out of all of the presidents, he definitely deserves rest
