Thank fuck. This man can go down in history as the savior of the Republic if he fucks off and endorses someone else.

    He’s not saying he can’t do it for six more months. That’s kinda weird to imagine that, on top of everything.

    But hey, even if he got hit by a bus and Harris got sworn in, barring some superhuman politicking she’d have a floor fight.

      If Biden resigned, along with a direct endorsement of Harris, there will be no floor fight. The party will coalesce around the sitting President.

        I was gonna say “not gonna happen” but given the DNC’s track record that could be one of the many ways they could fumble this for a loss.

          Harris is not an automatic loss, as long as the electorate is not composed solely of Lemmy users.

            Automatic, no. There will be lots of garment-rending and gnashing of teeth. Nothing so banal as an automatic loss.
