it's a total check mate. if they run with HRC - she gets the Hunter treatment. her hard drives will be released.
the only unknown is Michelle "what lurks beneath" Obama. they'd have to be beyond desperate to run two of the wokest women "of color" but it would feed their piranhas.

Meh. Too late. People have already voted for him.
Even if they know their chances of winning are shit, changing now only makes it worse.

If they change candidates how does that effect the people who already voted for biden?

Right, and isn't there a cutoff for when you can file to run in each state? That's long past. I think it's a forfeit.
[–] test_pattern 0 points 3 points 3 points (+3|-0) ago
it's not a forfeit, there are provisions if a candidate is unable to continue:
The Democratic Party’s Rule F states:
In the event of death, resignation or disability of a nominee of the Party for President or Vice President after the adjournment of the National Convention, the National Chairperson of the Democratic National Committee shall confer with the Democratic leadership of the United States Congress and the Democratic Governors Association and shall report to the Democratic National Committee, which is authorized to fill the vacancy or vacancies
what happens to the ballots (early and mail in) for Joe? it's a bit murky, but near as I can tell, they cannot be reassigned to the DNC's replacement candidate, nor do the voter get a chance to re-vote.

Why would they forfeit? That is an automatic loss.
What if something happened to JB? If that happened they would not have to forfeit.
What a movie!
What really ticks me off is I just ran out of popcorn!!!
Got to go to the supermarket, where's my useless mask!

There is no changing at this point. Unless, unless they create a health emergency. It will then delay the election.

They are past the point of no return on this one. If they wanted to swap out Joe they had to do it before the early voting ballots were printed, Labor Day.
All I can think is they're trying to save house or senate races and again it's too late.
They are stuck against a rock and a hard place with Joe and Kamala. With the Supreme Court 6-3 by the end of the week they can't get a favorable ruling shifting Joe's early votes over to the replacement.
They're totally screwed and Hunter just took down a whole lot of down ballot races for the Dems.

Where the photographs were taken is more damaging? The White House?
[–] PGLiterati2 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
Or a church--I am thinking these are the two possibilities.

another teaser mentioned is the "car accident" -- assuming they mean the fatal one that killed his first wife and daughter.
Biden has lied for years that she was hit by a drunk driver; the police reports for the accident mysteriously disappeared.
according to Jill Biden's first husband, the Bidens have always lied about their relationship start to coverup infidelity and obfuscate the fact they met (and were probably already in the affair) before the accident.

Dems are screwed....another ticket won't work....votes have already been cast for BIDEN/HARRIS....a Hillary/Harris or whatever/Harris ticket can't get those votes....one cannot ASSUME that a Biden vote would've gone to Hillary or Bernie...they ONLY GO TO BIDEN. That is why YOU DO NOT EARLY VOTE!!!
[–] 4TheRepublic 0 points 7 points 7 points (+7|-0) ago (edited ago)
Points taken. And...
Putting Biden/Harris up as candidates is/was a de facto forfeit.
There was not ever any reasonable expectation of victory for the Democrats -- only the outside chance of taking (stealing) the election. Biden and Harris are sacrificial offerings.
IF the [D] party changes the candidates, there is no rational way to consider the early votes that have already been cast for the original candidates as being valid.
The main characteristic of 'Socialism' is perpetual unrest. Those who want to usher in a New Age of Communism in the US of A are using (or being used by) one of the main tools of revolution/transition -- violent unrest.
I have always suspected that we would see military intervention before we see any rebirth of The Constitutional Republic. My suspicions grow with this kind of 'chatter'.
Best wishes to all.
EDIT: Regardless of any (to use the word loosely) viable 'replacement candidate', he or she will be stripped bare for the world to see -- as Biden is being and has been.
