Mike Johnson has literally already made it clear that in these circumstances he intends to CONTEST the new candidate being allowed on ballots.

We live in the fucking stupidest ass timeline.

The time for dropping Biden was before the fucking primaries and now we're walking right the fuck into a Republican trap.

Fuck me, someone just kill me now so Trump can't institutionally fucking murder me.

Democrats are fuckin morons who want to lose.

Mike Johnson is (as usual) full of shit. The DNC is still a month away and not a single state ballot deadline has passed.

That doesn't mean they won't tie this up in the courts I've a bogus legal theory that the Supreme Court will turn into a reality... Mark my words, unless Biden packs the court, this one is on Clarence Thomas's desk stat

I didn’t downvote you but it may be because the DNC hasn’t even happened yet.

How do you plan to recalibrate your BS meter after seeing how you were wrong here?

[-] twistypencil@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

By just admitting I was wrong and that didn't happen? Not that hard

No one can "make biden run". If he died tomorrow we are suppose to vote for a literal corpse? Boooo

Biden isn't even the nominee yet that's one of the reasons it was important this happened before the DNC. Before the nomination this is no official presidential candidate, ol' Mikey Poo-Bear is yaking out of his ass. Mike even said "some legal impediments in at least a few of these jurisdictions", he's just posturing for attention. No more threatening than a bantam rooster when you walk in his coup.

from the article

Election law expert Richard Hasen wrote that there is "no credence" to the notion that the Democratic Party could not legally replace Biden on the ticket, as he is not the nominee yet -- the nominating process generally takes place during the Democratic National Convention.
