It would be pretty funny if Trump survived a bullet, but Biden dies from turbo flu.

Funny isn't the word I would choose.

What's comedy without a bit of tragedy?

[-] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

I've had more than enough tragedy, when do we get to the fun part?

We live in the Shit Timeline™

Biden will die, but only after the DNC shoves him in via the remote vote they're pushing, then we're stuck with Kamala instead of having the chance for someone like Warren to step up...

I wish we weren't so misogynistic and obsessed with name recognition... I think she would have been great if the old folks didn't just vote the name they know who's been around forever in the primaries in 16...

Yes because picking Anyone over the current VP as the candidate signals you're doing so well.

Who honestly thinks they'd pick Anyone but Harris? Again, it's all fan fic that Anyone but those two will be the nominee.

it would be insane for it to be anyone but harris.

Depends on the timing tbh... If it was maybe 2-4 weeks out from the election, it could potentially galvanize Democratic voters and more people could end up voting for Harris because of it.
