Biden announced he's ending his bid for the presidency via X (formerly twitter).

Well congratulations "liberals", bots, propagandists, defeatists. You win. If Trump had beaten Biden, it would have been Biden's fault, along with the party. Now the party gets to share the blame with you. You lot gambled this for the rest of us. Let's hope your bet pays off. Open your wallets and hit the pavement. If you're a real person and you pitched a fit so this would happen, you got what you wanted. Act like it. Your lobbying won you an obligation to campaign. If you were on social media begging for Biden to quit, now you owe the time you spent here to Harris's campaign (or whomever the fuck they nominate).
You bought it. You own it.
They should make Hunter Biden the VP pick, what a glorious troll that would be
From my European point of view, i just hope she picks Kelly as her VP. A progressive Astronaut, Ambassador for UNITED24 and someone that knows that we should save us from the ultimate climate collapse...maybe we can get Alexander Gerst here in Germany to do some politics :D
So the back the blue party of law and order will vote for the cop instead of the convicted felon now.
Just like the religious moral right will vote for the actual church attending catholic rather than the guy who doesn't go to church and doesn't know how to hold a bible upright.
Dumb. All because of a bad night that the media turned into a storm. Real world performance metrics were actually quite good for Joe. The Republican candidate says stuff on par with a semi-comatose baboon every time a microphone is in front of him. Supporters of this are oblivious to how much seething sexism and racism lies just under the surface in the US. This was a big part of how we got into this mess in the first place and why estimates for Hillary's success were so far off. It will be an incredible win if she pulls this off, but it's just not going to happen.
What happens now? Does the DNC pick a replacement or will they be holding a snap primary?
Disliked Biden, hate Kamala. Voted for them. Kamala and anyone else, nope.
They need someone hopey and feely like a 2008 Obama. If they don't find that, the Dems are toast. And I can't think of any mainstream politician that could get that reaction apart from maybe AOC. But that would get just as many MAGAs on the other side out to vote and they'd still lose.
You need empowering Democrat that is neutral to the MTG loving republicans.
Maybe Newsom? But if I had to bet it will be Kamala and another woman or minority to get the double whammy and they'll surely lose.
