Your question isn't relevant to what actually happened because it's an entirely different hypothetical situation.

[–] QuoVadisHomines@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

No, it’s directly relevant as it is the next closest situation as to what happened. Biden stepped down because ge could not fulfill the role due to his health.

It's literally not. That's not what happened and has nothing to do with me talking about how Biden should have let a primary happen. You just brought this up as if it was relevant when it's really not

Biden stepped aside due to health concerns after a disastrous debate. These concerns have since been justified as Biden has cancer.

There was a primary and Biden/Harris won it. They ran unopposed for most of it.

They ran unopposed for most of it.

The party sued challengers off the ballot for them.

Okay, you do realize that Biden should have stepped down long before the debates ever even occurred.

Again I reiterate, you're talking about something completely different than what I'm talking about.

[–] QuoVadisHomines@sh.itjust.works -1 points 5 days ago (2 children)

No because there was no reason we knew of at the time for him to step down.

You stated there was no primary. I pointed out there was and then asked what the difference between Biden stepping down after the primaries had been run was any different thwn if he had died.

If you have any precedent to point to that shows they had to or even were legally permitted to run a new primary I would be interested in seeing it as Im unaware of any.

No because there was no reason we knew of at the time for him to step down.

There was plenty of reason for his handlers to know. They hid that from the American people.

"there was no reason we knew of at the time for him to step down."

That's factually incorrect, Biden ran on the promise of being a one term president there was every expectation that he would step down.

You're just trying to justify bringing up random shit at this point, I'm kinda done with talking in circles with you.

[–] QuoVadisHomines@sh.itjust.works -2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I have literally been sticking to the same point the whole time and it is you who keeps trying to bring up new points.

The fact us Biden stepped down. Multiple states had run primaries and selected Biden/Harris. There is no legal way to invalidate those elections that I am aware of.

I never accused you of switching topic other than when you randomly brought up Bidens hypothetical death.
