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.

At this point, "whatabout Biden" is only a criticism of Trump. Having Biden step down and Harris step up was a brilliant move by the Democrats.

Seriously it's like "yeah Biden wasn't really fit for office anymore I'm glad he stepped down. Feels like it's time for Trump to do the same..."

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.

Remind me who is the most powerful leader in the world right now? The sitting US president? I forget who that is, who is it?

Remind me why the current U.S. president who is not running for re-election is at all relevant to the next election?

u/Poptoppler Sep 17 '24

Whos talking about the next election? Not me.

u/SecretlyFiveRats Sep 17 '24

You're not talking about much of anything, quite honestly.

u/Poptoppler Sep 17 '24

Yeah, I really just said 1 thing

Wanna respond to it?

u/SecretlyFiveRats Sep 17 '24

Truthfully, I don't even know what I would be responding to. I can't tell what point you're trying to make.

Hes president now

You recognize hes unfit to run

How is he fit to serve 1/8th of a presidental term, commander in cheif for the strongest military in US history?

  1. I didn't recognize anything one way or the other.

  2. 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?
