Biden dropping out right now would all but guarantee that Trump won the Presidency. Anyone calling for him to drop out knows this, and is doing it likely as someone who is horribly misguided, or intentionally to try and sway our elections by a foreign entity.
We're past the point of registrations across multiple states, the supreme court is controlled by the right, and there is absolutely no way to swap those names out and get the new names on the ballot without pushing it all up the ladder to -- you guessed it -- An illegitimate supreme court who has shown us they'll make shit up on the spot to get the result that their owners want.
So people calling for Biden to 'step down' - are either doing it because they're too stupid to realize the reality of things, or they are a foreign agent attempting to sow division and limit voters on the left. Follow those social chains up to who they originate from -- I guarantee they originate from people who are intentionally there to sow division in an attempt to sway our elections.
Here's a list of the dated deadlines to be placed on the ballot in various states: https://ballotpedia.org/Deadline_to_run_for_president,_2024
So understand first and foremost, anyone saying Biden needs to have someone replace him right now -- They know this.
All of this is wrong, according to the DNC’s own rules and history of being able to handle such situations, and common sense.
Oh those matter now? They didn't matter when they were arguing in court that they could choose their nominee in a smoke filled back room.
