We're going to get a torrent of "The Left doesnt know what they're doing"
Which, doing this without an official plan announced, will shake party unity.
Just Vote D in November. I'm tired of these interesting times.

They might not but it's not a reason to abandon democracy.
I'm not abandoning democracy. I'll do that when Trump strips women of their rights and tries to sell my daughters to the highest bidder.
I'm saying letting trump win is abandoning democracy. Jan 6th showed us what Trump thinks of democracy. NEVER again.
At this rate just make sure to get all the democrats you know to make a voting plan and commit. What matters most now is we use our numbers and show that we vote for ideologies and not people, so it doesnt matter who is up there as long as they follow democratic principles.
Well with criminalization of contraception and prison slave labor being legal that's already well on it's way
So, February then?
The Tree of Liberty, o' how she thirsts evermore.
You can't "abandon" something you never had in the first place.
Can't say I disagree. This is like going to the store and all they stock on the shelves are Pepsi and Coke. These two private organizations are the ones who decide who we get to choose from and they both keep picking the absolute worst candidates possible.

So-called "liberal democracy" in a nutshell. And according to the "vote blue no matter who" crowd, nobody is allowed to talk about it.
Well Johnson is already trying to argue that it might be illegal for anyone other than Biden to be on the ticket.
So I'll definitely be ignoring that.
It's something he did in his capacity as president.
If it's illegal for him to drop out then it was also illegal for Trump to lead an insurrection. Pick one and stick with it.
The convention wasn't held, he was not nominated. He can release his delegates at any time. Anyone arguing otherwise has no idea how our democracy functions.
That won't matter to the rabid MAGA mob.
That's OK, they don't matter either. They were never going to vote Dem. They just support their Führer and that's all that matters to them.
I'm just going to respond to everything with the rapist with 34 felonies has dementia and is too old, he needs to drop out, he has no chance to win.
Dont forget to add his actual age for better illustration.
"Why does the party of 'law and order' support a 34x convicted felon over a former prosecutor?"
Call out the party of criminals and make them fall over themselves trying to square that circle.
They dropped the law and order part when Dementia Don started racking up charges.
All of it?
Sounds good to me
i mean i’ve been ignoring Biden’s garbage capitulation to the false framing that immigrants are doing crime and rapes en masse and that this is a serious concern.
i’m gonna ignore it into the future but i’ve been ignoring it too.
Was more or less talking about the rhetoric around the candidate switch. Trying to gauge where they are going to land.
For example:
"Harris is somehow worse"
"The democrats are weak"
"Trump beat biden into submission"
Etc.
It takes strength to admit when you're wrong.
I'm glad that Democrats finally mustered some.
ah my bad. don’t have an answer to that question at this time.
If people go straight to discrediting Harris it'll just show they were never going to be happy regardless of who was nominated.
I had reservations about Biden but I was still gonna vote for him, and I have reservations about Harris but I'm still gonna vote for her if nominated.
The same as I did before; all of it.
"Kamala is not American" is coming.
She spent several years in Canada, so we have Canadian yearbook photos. And if conservatives can say Barack Obama is not American, and anti-immigrant sentiment is rising, they will definitely do it about her.
Biden running or not doesn't really alter the rhetoric that I'd consider ignorable.
Literally all of it
What were we not ignoring before?
Hurrdurrdurrgurbleblugdurrdurr
Stuff like that
Libs being mad at leftists that they made up to get mad at.
The next conspiracy theory
Their response has been the standard MAGA playbook, that of a 12 year old trash talking on Xbox Live. “Kamala is a joke too!!! 🥴”
They're still rambling about Hilary; they'll still ramble about Biden.
If by "left" and "right" you mean Democrats and Republicans respectively, then I'm going to ignore all their rhetoric to the best of my ability just as I have been. I'm not interested in anything even remotely resembling either programme.
"Joe would have won. Just ignore the:
- lack of vision
- collapsing support in Michigan because of Gaza
- signs of obvious mental decline
- every interview feels like visiting the old folks home
- campaigning at half speed"
There are so many politics communities. Post this there instead
