Would absolutely send the right wing looneys into a tailspin almost definitely leading to a Jan 6 x 1000. Im here for it.

That's a contender for both the best AND funniest.

Corri Bush and Liz Cheney on the anti-Trump unity ticket. The sundowning registered Republicans who survived COVID show up at their polling places, see Bush/Cheney, and Pavlovian reflex kicks in, leaving them completely bamboozled by the ploy because they are incapable of telling what year it is. Dems still only get 51% of the popular vote in spite of carrying roughly 17% of registered Republicans.

If the democrats want to maximize their chances of losing, they should replace him with the only politician to have ever lost an election to Trump hillary

[-] [email protected] 41 points 4 days ago

As stupid as this sounds its probably way more likely than you think. You must have political clout to make such a bid and only Hilary has the clout capable.

The funniest outcome is that most of you have seriously overestimated the memory retention capacity of your average American and Biden’s atrocious debate performance will be forgotten by July 4th, and everyone will look at you funny like “wtf are you talking about” when you try to remind them of the debate.

[-] [email protected] 36 points 4 days ago

Because Biden is absolutely gonna get better at debating by September, don't gotta remind regular normies of shit they'll see it on their own

[-] [email protected] 34 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

his handlers just won't let him debate again.

[-] [email protected] 33 points 4 days ago

I think the handlers have to make him debate again and do it much better.

The Trump campaign should be the one rejecting debate proposals.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 4 days ago

Yeah and make sleepy joe actually take his dafis this time.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

A small team of sharp shooters with air rifles occasionally fire a hypodermic dart with amphetamines into Joe when he starts to slow down. /s

The Trump campaign should be the one rejecting debate proposals.

Honestly, yeah, Trump could just keep saying to everybody that its elder abuse to force Joe out onto the stage for the dog and pony show and he wouldn't be wrong.

I really don’t think that’s going to happen. This isn’t just a political accident they can bury. This is an incredibly obvious thing that’s only going to get worse. People will rediscover and remember it everytime they see him.

Kamala Harris is the most likely pick. She was pushed for by Jim Clyburn, and his endorsement is what handed Biden South Carolina, and he has a lot of sway with black Democratic voters. Passing her over would be seen as a snub to them and that's a major Dem voting block that they can't afford to alienate. But she has negative charisma and the White House basically shoved her in a closet to do nothing so she doesn't have much to show in the way of accomplishments. And she's awful in debates - better than Trump or Biden but anyone who remembers the 2020 primary remembers that the only thing she did was torpedo Biden's standing and then getting smacked around for being a cop.

Gavin Newsome (governor of California) is a big deal in the party but "governor of Commiefornia" is a position with a lot of heat that might not play well in swing states.

Personally I think Dems' best shot is Gretchen Whitmer (gov of Michigan) - midwestern, has a bit of a name on the national stage from being targeted by CHUDS for assassination so she'd have a lot of cred in the fight against MAGA. Josh Shapiro (gov of PA) is floated a lot too, but I don't know much about him.

The funniest option? hunter

Bernie's also older than Biden so its not really addressing the main issue.

Can’t believe no one has yet commented on Gruesome Gavin’s ex-wife being Don Jr’s fiancé. The potential for the turbo-neoliberal to get dragged down into talking about his hog on a debate stage is real

Kamala for President with Michelle Obama as VP would probably be the fastest safest thing the Dems could do this close to the election.

Two women of color. Both with time in service in the realm of politics, both known quantities at the national level.

Kamala would be easy enough to just prop up in public or keep at a desk to sign paperwork while the advisors/Congress do the actual governing. She seems to be enough of a political creature to do the "enlightened centrism" shtick naturally.

Michelle Obama being able to take the lead on public appearances, glad handing, and thoughts-n-prayers events.

Darkhorse prediction, not the funniest but I'd find it amusing:

Al Gore and Bernie Sanders but as two grumpy old men so weighed down by their past failures that they can't get out of their own way.

Best chance would probably be Gretchen Whitmer or Andy Beshar. There are a bunch of possible boring candidates that would smoke trump.

Funniest would be Eric Adams.

Gavin Newsom is, imo, unelectable on a national stage, and is probably actually a worse choice than just sticking with Joe Biden.

Gavin Newsom is, imo, unelectable on a national stage, and is probably actually a worse choice than just sticking with Joe Biden.

Is this solely because he's the democratic governor of California?

really? anyone other than biden/harris will get to wash their hands of direct association to the Crimes, which is the biggest hurdle. i can't imagine many people outside of california are aware of how shit he is

I'm seeing a guy called Gavin Newsom listed as the most likely replacement. I don't know anything about him.

[-] [email protected] 40 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

he fucking sucks. he is the governor of california and a neoliberal scumbag that makes obama look like mao

[-] [email protected] 35 points 4 days ago

Sounds like the most likely candidate

[-] [email protected] 26 points 4 days ago

They'll never give it to Kamala even though it's probably the best decision for them. Have Biden resign, then she fills his place as the VP does. You avoid most conspiracy allegations of backroom dealings because its all above board. You excite the base with the first woman president (and she's black gasp). But otherwise a milquetoast politician.

But this is the party of Van Bueren, they gotta do their back room deals and Kamala has nothing to bring to the table for them. So its going to be the most corrupt person in the DNC cedar-rapids

Newsom is most likely, Whitmer with highest odds to win imo.

Funniest is Hill dawg. Libs posting is going to be unhinged from the previous madness when she loses in a rematch.
