If Joe Biden steps aside, who could replace him?

894 sats \ 70 comments \ @BitcoinAbhi 12 Jul oracle

"An unmitigated disaster" by one Democrat to "slow-motion car crash" by another just made it obvious that Biden needs to be replaced.

And now his gaffe at the NATO conference has confirmed all democrats that Biden is no match to fight against a very young Trump!

As it's becoming more likely that Biden will have to step aside or may be ditched, it's time SN makes a call and poll for Who their favourite democratic candidate is?

So, announce it in our own poll, SN!

Who would you like to see step in as a democratic candidate if Biden steps aside or thrown away abruptly?

Kamala Harris 'A pragmatic path-breaker'50.0%

Gavin Newsom 'A billionaire vs Trump!'19.6%

Gretchen Whitmer 'Trump's biggest Hater'2.2%

Josh Shapiro 'Get Shit Done'2.2%

Michelle Obama "Politics is hard"4.3%

Pete Buttigieg "A crisis manager'2.2%

JB Pritzker ''Gun controller''0.0%

Andy Beshear "Not a conservative"0.0%

I've a better suggestion. (Tell us)10.9%

Biden can't be replaced by anyone8.7%

Kamala would be the most "don't change direction so shortly before the election". And I think that's the main thing going for her tbh.
Newsom is the most charismatic and presidential. Maybe Democrats want to save that for 2028 to build up some more branding and media attention. Maybe it's already a card that has to be played now
Michelle Obama isn't happening. Hillary Clinton didn't work, if democrats ever try the Obama nostalgia card - it can't happen with the optics of bringing someone back out of retirement in a moment of panic. Bad optics, won't happen.
Buttigieg is like the smartest of the bunch. The guy speaks like a dozen languages or so. But he has zero presidential charisma. And also too leftist to unite centrist and liberals and normies. And he has still decades of career ahead. Save it optionally if Republicans ever nominate a moderate again

Conclusion: It's going to be probably Kamala maybe Newsom

Doesn't Kamala have keys to the money they've raised?

Probably Newsome.

Kamala can't win. Michelle Obama doesn't seem interested and the others aren't big enough names to take on Trump.

Kamala can't win.

It might be a mistake to assume this matters. My understanding is that she and Newsome loathe each other. She'll burn the whole thing down, rather than stepping aside gracefully.

Kamala's unbeatable race card: "The party of slavery, of segregation, is once again putting the interests of rich white men over the earned [something or other] of black and brown womxn."

Good points but in the end I think the democrat party gets what it wants when it wants. They will only let you step outside of the party line so far. They tolerate the squad's antics because they think they are a net benefit bringing in young and minority voters.

Look at RFK. He was a viable candidate who could win but didn't tow the party line so they cut off his secret service detail.

They might also know that this election is already lost and now it's just about damage control. Better to let Kamala crash and burn than to have her ignite a civil war.

But what about the existential crisis and danger to democracy that Trump poses?

Don't they need to put the country first and save democracy?

153 sats \ 4 replies \ @SimpleStacker 12 Jul

I know you're just being sarcastic, but I am getting really tired of hearing about how everything is an existential crisis. Seems like everything is an existential crisis these days.

Trump wins? End of democracy. Didn't respect someone's pronouns? Denied their existence. Any unusual weather? Civilization ending climate disaster.

It's getting extremely tiresome. And it's stifling any real debate or progress. Worse, it gives cover to malicious actors who are just fleecing the public in the name of fighting theses supposedly existential crises

In ignorance I thought it would be Newsom after the debate. I mean, he'd do it in an instant. I think it is only a matter of time until he becomes president. Not cuz I like him but because I have watched how the system works.

It seems to me that Harris is the only real option other than Biden. Don't think I posted this anywhere in 2020 but I told my wife then that I didn't think Biden would survive his term. This looks to be more and more likely by the day.

The money that Biden/Harris have raised can't to my knowledge be legally used by any other candidates. I don't think people in the party would look kindly on skipping over Harris either.

My guess is that there is a war going on in the WH and Dem party right now to destroy Biden and get him to step aside before the convention. Suspecting there's some deal being worked out.

More importantly, the US is so divided by these two parties that I'm actually more concerned about the backlash of the election no matter who wins than either of the two clowns running.

To me the only rational path forward when two people or groups are not willing to live in harmony and compromise where they can is separation. The other path I hope we can avoid which is open violent conflict.

That said, I do think people mostly get along and these clowns just seek to divide us and keep us at each other's throats. I refuse to play that game.

The most entertaining outcome is the most likely, so I'm along for the theory that Biden will stay and win with a historic number of votes, spawning a constitutional convention so Trump can re-form the government and discharge the debt

The one thing Kamala has going for her (aside from continuity with the current admin, for folks who like it) is that she was a tough prosecutor before she entered politics, and might be able to pick up some tough-on-crime centrists from the undecided pool.

It is a hard question. United States are in a very difficult place at this moment. There is no one to blame, but for the parties themselves.

The current 2 candidates are clearly unfit for the role. Both of them being elected will be a huge humiliation for the country. Time is running out and someone needs to step in. Perhaps it is time for an alternative to the 2 traditional parties.

It's obviously gonna be Harris. She's just in a precarious political position of also being VP. Meaning she can't really speak out loud that the boss is unfit to lead (she would also have to explain why the 25th hasn't been invoked yet).

So she just has to put her name quietly on the ticket and present herself as 100% in line with Joe so that the Dems have an excuse to replace same with same, but younger.
