The time to do this would have been 18 months ago.
Seriously.
They said Biden couldn't/shouldn't run, but then also claimed he could still be president.
Kamala set herself up to be the "shadow president" responsible for all of Biden's failings, especially when she kept talking about how involved she's been and how she wouldn't do anything different.
She acted like Biden was a beloved national figure and not someone who barely managed to squeak thru after being pulled left by Bernie and also trump actively being president.
I have no idea why anyone would honestly believe Biden was ever popular, but the DNC is so out of touch they seem to have really believed it
What matters more than anything is cleaning house asap at the DNC. They're not fit to be our only other option.
Joe Biden was a perennial Presidential Primary loser. His problem was not necessarily his ideas, but the fact that he said stupid things ~~occasionally~~ often. The word "gaffe" seems to have been made for Joe Biden.
Donald Trump was the only person Biden could have possibly beat, because Biden's chief liability became an asset. He won in 2020 in no small part because he handled Trump well in the debates.
He had clearly declined in the 4 years since, not so much as to not be able to do the job, but clearly not well enough to win an election. I'm pissed we found out as late as we did. If Biden had stuck to one term, lime he had promised, then at least we would have had some discussion in the Primaries.
If you look back to his first primary, he was an early favorite. But it didn't last long once people got to know him for that to change
What sunk it was when reporters found out he lied about his grades in law school, plagiarized important parts of it, and had continued to plagiarize speeches thru out his political career...
He starts ranting at reporters that his IQ was higher.

Biden was never popular, because the guy has always been an asshole that thinks he knows everything.
. I’m pissed we found out as late as we did
He was already too old in 2020, just because you didn't see the signs doesn't mean it wasn't already happening.
Oh, it's obviously fucking stupid.
That's the point, it's petty as shit and would invalidate all of their "45/47" merch, in addition to making her the first woman president, there is no "logical" method to the madness , just shits and giggles
Whichever one of them wants to use that "presidential immunity" while they still can
Its about the most spiteful thing that can do at this point. All actually impactful changes will be undone immediatly. The one thing they can do is make all 45s fanatics re-buy their merch.
All actually impactful changes will be undone immediately.
Most, but not all. Biden can still pardon criminals, provide aid to allies, seat remaining judge vacancies, and declassify information with his remaining time in office. All of which are irreversible.
- Fair, that one would work.
- The aid would have to get out the door quick, if its left on a runway the day of, it aint flying.
- Obstrictionist Legislator, nope. And with the full GOP governemt they are already planning of flipping the switch on absentee appointments, which haven't been allowed since Obama.
- Fair, but even retaining damning classified info wont sway any minds, so why bother.
Point being, the things that can be done are minimal, other than being petty and spiteful (and leaving trump an upper-decker in the ovel office restroom, that one just something I would do).
LMAO at the upper-decker
I don’t follow what you mean about judge appointments. Lower court judge appointments only require the approval of our currently Democratic controlled Senate.
As of October 31, 2024, the United States Senate has confirmed 213 Article III judges nominated by Biden: one associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, 44 judges for the United States courts of appeals, 166 judges for the United States district courts and two judges for the United States Court of International Trade. There are 28 nominations awaiting Senate action: five for the courts of appeals and 23 for the district courts. There are two vacancies on the U.S. courts of appeals and 44 vacancies on the U.S. district courts, as well as 18 announced vacancies that may occur before the end of Biden's term (four for the courts of appeals and 14 for district courts).

Fair, but they have 2ish sessions left before the term is over and its in the middle of the holiday season... I appeciate the correction, but any feet dragging means these dont happen in time either.
The only positive this would have is making them buy new merch. There would be no other upside. Zero.
If they spend money on the merch they can’t spend it on their tariffed goods 🤷🏻♂️
Which would then just cause said fanatics to funnel even more money into 45s pockets. So for him it’s a win-win
Cause it’s fucking asinine.
