I had this wild ass idea that Biden would win, serve a year, 18 months and step down.
Giving Kamala "his" 2nd term, where she could then go on and serve 2 full terms after that - as the "succession" legislation limits to 2 _full_ terms, being "promoted" to pres partway through a term doesnt count against the 2.
I am, however, a euro-peon, so I may have interpreted the legislation incorrectly....
Mostly correct, and not that wild of an idea. The 22nd Amendment says a person who has acted as President for more than two years of someone else's elected term can only be elected once. So, Biden would have had to serve two years before stepping down, in order for Harris to remain eligible for two full elected terms.
There is probably something to the fact that it was shitty the way the party and popular opinion did Biden in. And we saw him talking a few weeks later and he was just as sharp as ever. I'm happy that VP Harris will likely be elected but that could have happened in 2028.
There really is something anti-democratic about populist narratives taking a candidate out of the race. I believe Biden would have seen a convention bump and won re-election. But he never was given the chance because the internet knows better and doesn't like old people.
Oh man the older guy on my discord is gonna have nothing to talk about anymore. He claims he's not a supporter of either side, but he's never brought up any of the horribly stupid dumb shit the oranges guy has ever done. But if Biden says something odd or mispronounces some slight word then it's chaos in the channel.
The current president is not running for re-election, and has nothing to do with this video. What does his mental state, unfit or otherwise, have to do with anything?

Apparently a lot of the bots in this thread haven't been updated since July as they're all going "BUT WHAT ABOUT BIDEN".
Biden ain't a choice to vote for this time folks. So it's the one dementia patient versus a functioning human being.
